Spring Chandelier

Hi there, today I would like to share my funky – spring chandelier!
I went to Hobby Lobby this morning and picked up this grapevine wreath for $5.99 and some bendable floral wire.
 I cut the wire so I could wrap it around the wreath, and so I could twist and hang it from my dining room chandelier. 
 I wrapped the wire around each light fixture. 
This is how it looked when I was done. Yes, the wire is showing, but once I’m finished sticking the floral picks into the grapevine, you won’t even see it, it will blend.
I got four of these at 50% off.
I also got 5 of these at 50% off, too!
I then began to stick the ends of the greenery into the grapevine, and then I fluffed the greenery up to make it look full.
 After I got the first layer done, I started to add the other ones on top.
I kept adding pieces until I got the fullness I desired.
Nice and full.
The chandelier is not exactly my stye, so adding greenery made it more “me”…. It’s definitely a conversation piece and focal point now.
I hung this spring wreath on my arched gate, which is above my hutch in this room.

It’s different, right?
So, there you have it – a different way to spruce up your chandelier for Spring.  I may add some little white/yellow flowers in amongst the greenery. Skies the limit, right?
Thanks for stopping by!

Rustic Tuscan Style Shelving ~ Using Fence Posts

Hi there, today I would like to share a creative, yet VERY simple and inexpensive way to create shelving in your home.
In the above picture, you will notice the woodwork on the wall, my idea was aimed to find something similar in color for my shelf idea.
I ran to Home Depot and found two pre-stained Fence Posts, only $11.00 each. I kept them just they way they were, because I love a rustic look! If you want to make this shelf, but want a different finish, just get the plain wood and stain it to your liking.
I like seeing the knots and imperfections in the wood…that’s what gives it character. 🙂
I didn’t know what to do with this wall, so the fence posts filled it in well. I ran to Hobby Lobby to get wall brackets because I saw them on sale last week for 50% off.  I screwed the fence posts in side by side to give me the width I was looking for to be able to accessorize with different items. 
My wall brackets, only $3.99 each at HL.
I sat two Tuscan jugs side by side and added some greenery.
Now although the colors aren’t a perfect match (the wood trim and shelving) it’s close enough.
A simple shelf can fill a large wall space nicely, and for $30.00 and some change, not bad! 
This greenery is also from Hobby Lobby, $11.99 original price, now 50% off.
I originally got two larger brackets that were too big, so what did I do with them? I used one of them to accessorize with in the photo above. Why not, right? It looks Tuscan, so I used it! 😉
The metal and wood wall embellishment is also from HL, now 50% off.
I did this very look in my living room, because the house did not come with a mantle, so I replicated it on this wall.

I’ll show you the whole room soon, one more wall to fill. HA!
Thanks for stopping by! XO, Liz

Getting Creative With Green And Yellow

How many of you bring items home after a shopping trip and then can’t decide which way you prefer it on the table? Well, that pretty much describes me, just call me Mrs. Indecisive! 😉
Today, I got two French Garden Balls at Hobby Lobby and also purchased the two green pots.  We won’t talk price, because if you know me, they’re CHEAP! 😉 I also got the two candle holders there, but heck, do I ever use them for candles? NO!! 
I got the Rooster and yellow candle holder there  for 50% off, yippie!  I wait for things I like to go on sale, patience is the name of the game. I never pay full price for anything.
I even got the greenery 50% off, too!
I play with different variations and heights until I get things just the way I like it. 
Sometimes I keep things simple and other times I get carried away! 
I got this moss ball at HL for $6.99 and plopped it in a bowl.
The candle holders add a little touch of Tuscan Style and the pots have a spring feel to them.
Green is my favorite color….
I got the items below from Real Deals.
Can I just say how much I love moss balls. Moss balls are such awesome space fillers. You can use them in containers, on top of candle holders, next to items, in baskets….LOVE THEM!!
 I hope my indecisiveness has given you some ideas. Have fun when you accessorize, I do, even if it takes me all day! LOL! 😉
