Get inspired to add some beautiful spring touches to your home with these simple early spring decor ideas! Simple tips and tricks to bring that warm spring feel to your own home.

Hello! Welcome to our early spring home tour! Although it’s really not feeling like spring outside yet, I’m determined to bring a little of that spring warmth and color to inside our home.

Spring Home Tours

Today, I’m joining Marty from A Stroll Thru Life, for her annual spring home tour. There are almost 30 homes on tour this week, so there is plenty of spring decor inspiration no matter what your style! You can find all of the links at the end of the post, so be sure to check them out.

For those of you coming over from Decor to Adore, I’m sure you enjoyed Laura’s tour. She always has the most unique, vintage-inspired style and I think it’s so cool that she’s actually related to the Laura Ingalls Wilder {my very favorite book series when I was a child!}.

Our Spring Home Tour

This year, I’m doing things a little differently for our spring home tour. I usually like to do full room tours so I can show you all of the little details, but this time, I went a little more minimalistic and just added a few touches here and there. I almost didn’t even join in the home tours, but I wanted to show you that even small changes can make a difference in the feel of a space.

Seasonal decor can be whatever you want it to be. Some years you might feel like going all out and other times, you may be pulled to more simple and subtle decor. My Mom passed away a few weeks ago, and I’m definitely in the phase where I just need some simplicity and peace in our home and I really didn’t have a lot of time {or motivation} to pull out all of our regular spring and Easter decor.

The second reason that I didn’t end up doing as much spring decor this year, is that we will soon be getting new hardwood floors throughout our main and second floors as well as a new staircase! This has been almost a year in the making so I can’t wait to get it done! We’re going to be getting natural hickory floors and doing hickory and black metal spindles on the staircase. We’re actually going to have to move everything out of the house for a few weeks, so the least I have to pack up, the better!

Easy Spring Decor Ideas

If you’re looking to add some spring touches to your home, but don’t want to spend a lot of time or money, there are lots of simple spring decor ideas that you can try. I’ve put together a few easy tips that I used myself this year to add that spring feel without a lot of work. I hope you find them helpful!

Add Flowers and Greenery.

Nothing says spring like flowers and greenery! I love adding little pops of faux greenery throughout the house. Pop them into vases, trail them over a shelf, or use them in vignettes or centerpieces for added texture and color. I purchased these pretty blue berry branches from Afloral and I love them {they’re actually on major sale right now too!}

As much as I like to use faux greenery, I do like to have at least a few real plants to add a little extra life to a space. I have been putting together a spring tropical planter for the past few years and still love them. They’re so quick and easy to create  – you can’t really go wrong! You can find the simple DIY tutorial and care instructions HERE.

And can you really have a spring home tour without tulips? lol! I love all of the different varieties and colors of tulips and they’re probably one of the most affordable flowers you can find.

Put Together a Centerpiece.

A simple centerpiece is one of the easiest way to add a seasonal touch to your space.  iI you’re unsure where to start, grab three items of various heights and textures and group them on a tray or cutting board to tie them all together. You can add small sprigs of greenery or other embellishments to add a little pop of color.

This was one of my favorite Easter centerpieces from a couple of years ago. Again,  it’s just a simple grouping on a tray that goes together in minutes!

For the kitchen or dining room table, a cutting board works well for a tray and helps to ground your centerpiece. For our kitchen table, I used a simple white, textured vase with some faux pussy willows.

Add Some Artwork.

Switching up a photo frame with some seasonal art or free printables is one of the simplest seasonal decor ideas. I store everything in the photo frame and then just change them around each season. I have a ton of Easter printables available HERE that you can choose from or you can look online for other artwork that you love. You can find this Hippity Hoppity Easter printable HERE.

Create a couple of cute vignettes.

You can still create a cute seasonal vignette on any shelf, side table, or console. I always love putting together seasonal hot chocolate bars, and added these cute bunny mugs this year {from HomeSense}. I have a whole set of Easter hot chocolate bar printables if you’d like to create your own hot chocolate display. Or you can use this Chocolates and Confectioneries printable.

I also kept my chai bar in the kitchen and just added the ceramic bunny and greenery for a softer spring touch. You can find the chai label {along with lots of other coffee bar labels!) HERE.

Find a Couple of Cute Seasonal Pieces.

Even if you just have minutes to decorate, take a few seasonal pieces and layer them in with your regular decor. Keeping a somewhat similar theme or style, will tie them all in together and make a more cohesive look. I really like these simple, white bunnies. They’re more of a cement-type material and have a little bit of texture to them. Since they’re so simple, I feel like they work throughout spring rather than just being Easter decor.

They can also be used in so many different ways and vignettes so they’re fun to change up each year. If you check out my previous home tours, you’ll be able to sport them in lots of fun places.

Spring Home Tour

Welcome back to part 2 of our spring home tour! Last week I shared some simple spring kitchen decor ideas with you and today I’m moving on to the dining room. You can also find 5 more spring dining room home tours {and lots more spring inspiration!} at the end of the post, so be sure to check them all out.

Spring Dining Room Decor Ideas

Winter is always a bit of a struggle for me, so I’m always happy to pull out my spring decor. Even if it’s not quite looking like spring outside, I can still bring some of that spring cheerfulness indoors!

Spring Sideboard

I usually use the top of our side board for a seasonal vignette and really enjoy switching things around each year. While I don’t usually go with a specific theme for our room decor, this spring dining room was definitely inspired by the McGregor’s Carrot patch sign. Carrots, white bunnies, and greenery can be found throughout!

If you saw my carrot and wood bead Easter garland from yesterday’s post and are wondering where it went, I relocated it over to the buffet. I just thought I would disperse all of the carrots a little more evenly around the room. lol! I did use some of the extra felted balls on the sideboard though as I thought they looked like little moss balls.

The other carrots are from Pier 1 that I bought about 5 or 6 years ago and I added some chocolate Lindt carrots as well. The faux chocolate bunnies were just from the dollar store but they really look real and can be opened for some extra Easter treat storage too!

Spring Centerpiece

Since our dining table is one of the first things that you see when you walk in our front door, I always like to do a nice seasonal centerpiece.

Sticking with the same basic elements as our sideboard, I used some white vases with faux greenery and some cute ceramic bunnies to create this really simple spring centerpiece. Again, I used some of the left over felt balls from the carrot and wood bead garland and a couple of small carrots for a little extra pop of color. Placing everything onto the wood tray ties all of the elements together and makes it easy to remove if needed.

Spring Beverage Bar

If you’ve seen our dining room home tours before, you know I love a good beverage bar! Sticking with the carrot theme, this orange and carrot juice {with a little bit of cranberry juice!} is perfect for spring!

I’m still trying to figure out where the other two glasses went but I’m sure they’ll turn up! I added a cute carrot towel, a few branches of greenery, and {of course!} a couple of carrots to the mug ladder.

I loaded up the little table with some mini-eggs and a few more little bunnies.

Spring Buffet and Hutch

I always find it hard to get a good picture of the buffet and hutch with the lighting in the room. Plus the contrast of the black buffet and hutch against the white decor, makes it even harder. It does look prettier in real life!

I hope these spring dining room decor ideas bring a little smile to your face. Happy Spring!

Carrot and Wood Bead Easter Garland

This cute felted carrot and wood bead Easter garland is easy to create and can be used for any Easter decor. Hang it on a mantel or add it to an Easter vignette for a fun pop of color.

Easter Carrot Decor

I always have fun creating seasonal displays on our dining room sideboard and I thought that I would go with a carrot them this year. I pulled out my carrot napkins that I bought a couple of years ago from HomeSense and printed an 11×14 version of my McGregor’s Carrot Patch sign to display {you might remember it from our spring kitchen last year}.

Although I wasn’t planning on buying anything new this year, I did end up picking up a felted ball and carrot garland from HomeSense. It was a little heavy for what I wanted {and a little too much green!} but I knew I could use the components to create something more my style. While I did feel a little guilty pulling apart a brand new garland, I love the new one so much more!

DIY Carrot and Wood Bead Easter Garland

This cute carrot and wood bead Easter garland can be made in less than 30 minutes and adds a special touch to any Easter decor. You can customize it to whatever colors or embellishments you’d like.

Materials

• 0.8mm clear elastic bead cord
• wood beads {I used the 20mm and 16mm beads}
• felted balls {I bought the original felted ball garland from HomeSense but you can find felted balls HERE}
• felted carrots {similar ones HERE} or other embellishments {you could easily make your own carrots from felt}
• crafting needle or other needle with a large eye
• twine {optional}

Directions

• Cut the clear elastic cord to your desired garland length leaving some extra length. Knot the cord through the needle. Create a knot at the other end of the cord large enough that it won’t slip through the felt ball.
• Choose the pattern you would like to use for your garland. I used a 16mm bead, 20mm bead, 16 mm bead and then alternated between a felted ball or felted carrot.

• Thread through a felt ball and ensure that the knot will hold. Continue with your pattern until you have your desired length garland. Knot the end and cut the cord leaving a slight tail.
• If you would like loops at the end of your garland to hang, loop some twine around the clear cord and knot.

• Hang or display where you would like.

And there you have it! A fun and simple carrot and wood bead garland. I hope this inspires you to add a little carrot decor to your own home. Check back tomorrow for our full spring dining room tour and even more spring decor ideas.

Spring Kitchen Home Tours

Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve actually posted, but I’m excited to get going with some spring projects! Anyone else more than ready for spring? Today I’m joining Krista from The Happy Housie {and 8 more blogging friends!} for a spring kitchen home tour. We’ll all be sharing our spring kitchens with you along with lots of simple spring kitchen decor ideas to dress up your kitchen for the season. You can find all of the tours at the end of the post, so be sure to check them out!

Spring Kitchen Decor Ideas

The kitchen is always one of my favorite places to switch up for the seasons. A few fun spring items definitely help to bring a little more joy to those mundane kitchen tasks. I find the kitchen the quickest and easiest place in our home to transform. Just a few simple touches here and there are all that’s needed to add that fresh spring feeling!

I didn’t actually purchase anything new this year, but it’s always fun to just use what you have in different ways. You can see some of my previous spring kitchen home tours HERE and HERE to see how I incorporated the same decor principles in years past. Here are some of my favorite spring kitchen decor ideas…

Choose a color scheme or theme.

I love having a neutral kitchen so I can change up my accent colors each season. While I don’t usually like to stick too closely to a specific theme, having a loose idea of the colors and feel you would like in the space is always helpful. This year, I wanted something a little more muted and fairly simple. The pastel mini-egg colors served as my room inspiration and gave me a good excuse to stock up on mini-eggs.

Look for functional decor pieces.

Since kitchen counter space is prime real estate, look for items that are both cute and functional in a kitchen space. This helps to cut back on counter clutter while still providing that seasonal touch. Look for seasonal dish towels, salt and pepper shakers, cute bowls, or other useful kitchen items that give you those spring vibes.

Cookie jars are a favorite item of mine to switch up for the seasons, as they’re a great storage space for smaller kitchen items when not in use for actual cookie storage. This sweet little bunny cookie jar can hold seasonal dish towels or cookie cutters, hide extra cleaning supplies or kitchen utensils, or store anything else you’d like to keep close by but out of sight.

I also found this cute butter dish at HomeSense last year and he actually matched a couple of other bunny pieces that I had. I always love a good HomeSense find!

Create a display with everyday items.

I always like to change around our sink display for the different seasons. It definitely makes washing dishes a little more enjoyable! Incorporate those everyday items that you use like dish soap, hand soap, or a scrub brush into a pretty seasonal vignette. I like to switch up the scents of our soaps too for a more spring-like feel.

I used some faux branches for our display and then placed all of the dish washing items on a small ceramic tray.  A little white bunny and a couple of faux Easter eggs tie everything together with rest of our the spring kitchen decor.

Pop in a printable.

if you’ve been around here before, you know how much I love creating printable artwork for my seasonal decor. Printables are one of the quickest and most inexpensive ways to add in that spring touch. You can even store out of season prints right in the frame so they’re easy to switch out each season. Since I was going with a more subdued color scheme this year, I used this Hippity Hoppity Easter Bunny print that I used in our spring dining room last year. If you’re looking for other designs, you can find all of my Easter printables HERE and some spring designs HERE and HERE.

Add natural elements.

Spring is the season of new beginnings – plants and trees begin to grow again, new seedlings sprout, and the flowers start to bloom – so bring some of those touches indoors. Add some greenery, branches, or flowers to bring some life to your space. If it’s still early in the season or you can’t always have fresh flowers, there are lots of beautiful faux greenery and flower options on the market these days. These tulips from Urban Barn even have a real feel to them and can be shaped however you would like {they’re almost identical to these tulips that I purchased for our tulip basket wreath}

If you’re looking for easy to care for planter ideas, tropical plants are always my go-to, and can be arranged used in a pot on their own or combined into a cute spring planter like this tropical Easter planter that I made a couple of years ago.

Use trays to control the clutter.

Trays are perfect for minimizing the visual clutter and help to keep everything organized in one spot. While I don’t drink coffee, I do love a nice chai latte in the morning and a good smoothie bowl. This corner has everything I need along with a cute little display for the prettier items. The blender is right in the cabinet below and the mugs and smoothie bowl toppings are in the cupboard above so everything is right on hand.  You can find more free printable coffee bar labels {like the chai label} HERE if you’re looking to put together a coffee bar or beverage station of your own.

Dress up your table.

Don’t forget to give your kitchen table a little love! Swap out the table runner {or table cloth) and create a pretty spring centerpiece.

If you have multiple items for your centerpiece, place them all on a tray for a more cohesive look. This also makes it a lot easier to remove and put back the centerpiece if you need to remove it. I grouped together my favorite bunny pitcher with some tulips, another vase with some greenery, and a cute little white bunny on this pretty cutting board for my display.

And there you have it! Our spring kitchen home tour is complete.

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed all of these spring kitchen decor ideas and feel inspired to add some spring touches to your own home. If you have any questions, just let me know!

Welcome back to the last week of the Spring Seasonal Simplicity Series with The Happy Housie. I hope you’ve enjoyed all of the spring inspiration shared this far! If you’ve missed any of the previous posts, you can find them here… Free Spring Printables Spring DIY Projects Spring Home Tours This week we’re wrapping things up with a collection of free Easter printables for you. You can find all of the beautiful printables at the end of the post, so be sure to check them out!

Easter Bunny Printables

I’ve always loved decorating for Easter – mostly because of my love for cute little Easter bunnies!  So, of course, I had to come up with some sweet Easter bunny printables to go with our Easter decor. I did a couple of different designs that I hope you like as much as I do. They also coordinate with my Chocolates and Confectioneries Easter printable that I showed you last week with our Easter candy bar.

I used all three of the printables in our dining room (you can see the full Easter dining room tour HERE}, so you may have already seen them in action. The Happy Easter 11×14 print is hung on the wall beside our hutch.

It’s kind of hard to see in the photo so I snapped another one for you with it sitting on our sideboard.

I displayed a smaller 5×7 version of the Hippity Hoppity print on a clipboard photo frame on a little corner table.  Everyone always asks about the photo frame – it’s from Michales. I bought it a number of years ago, and I haven’t seen the white one in stock for a long time. They often have other colors available though, so you could always spray paint it if you really wanted one.

I also used a 8×10 Hippity Hoppity print in our Easter hutch just off the kitchen. That bunny is a hard worker!

How to Use Printables

Printables can be used for so much more than just putting them in a frame. These ones would be perfect to use for a cute Easter card or sweet Easter tag. Here are some other ideas for using printables…

• add them to a clipboard
• use them for a card – Just fold some cardstock in half to form a card and glue the printable to the front.
• use them as place settings – print out 2×3 or 3.5×5 and place over a napkin or place setting
• make them into tags
• make a framed canvas
• transfer them onto wood
• create a chalkboard transfer

Most of all, just have fun with them! I’d love to see what you come up with!

Create a pretty Easter display on a shelf or hutch with these simple seasonal styling tips. Easy ideas to quickly switch up your decor each season.

Easter Display

I love to switch up our decor each season. A few little seasonal displays around the house can really freshen things up. This hutch just off our our kitchen is one of the first places that gets switched up each season. Just adding a few seasonal touches can totally change the look and feel from season to season. Today, I thought I’d show you our simple Easter display that I put together.

Shelf or Hutch Styling Tips

Changing up your shelves each season doesn’t have to take a lot of time or new items.  You really only need to add a few favorite seasonal pieces and play around with staple items that you already have. Today I thought I would share my process for easily switching it up each season.

Start with a clean slate.

Before I start, I always clear the shelves and give everything a good cleaning. I like to start with a clean slate so I’m not locked in to where items have to go. It’s all about having fun with a little trial and error!

Choose some basic neutral pieces.

If you have shelves or a hutch that you like to change up seasonally, it’s helpful to to have some basic pieces that you can use year round. Choose more neutral items or pieces that can be used in a variety of ways. I have a couple of staple items such as the Bistro box, basic dishware, and cake stands that I tend to use in most of my seasonal vignettes. Since they’re neutral, they go with pretty much any color scheme or design. Many of these items are pieces that I use when we have company over or need a little extra serving ware. Functional and pretty are the best!

Place your larger items first.

Place your items that take up the most amount of space first.  If you don’t have enough height you can always stack items to get the size you want. As a rough rule of thumb, I like to work in diagonals with items that are similar in color and/or type. For example, the “heavier” items {the Bistro box, large bowl, and stacked white plates on the cake stand} form a triangle rather than being placed on the same side of the shelves. And the cloches are placed on opposite sides of the hutch to balance each other out.

Add in a few seasonal touches.

Gather any items that you think you might want to include in your shelf styling. You might pick a particular theme that you would like to go with, a specific color scheme, or even just a general feel. You want items of various sizes, heights, and depth. To dress the hutch up for Easter, I used some white bunny dishes and bowls and a couple of faux chocolate bunny containers that I found at the dollar store. They’re kind of hard to see in the photos but they’re under the cloches with some moss.

Add layers.

Start to layer in the smaller items working from largest to smallest. If you don’t know exactly where to place items, just get started. Sometimes you just need to see what you have and play around with it. Think of grouping items roughly into groups of three {or other odd number}. Add some fresh or faux greenery to bring a little life to your display. I always love a little pop of green! You can also play around with adding some various textures such as the rolled up tea towels, tobacco basket, and wood beads to soften the look.

The Hippity Hoppity printable will be up on the blog tomorrow, so check back for that if you’d like a copy. I hope you found these little shelf styling tips helpful and give it a go in your own home!

Our Spring Home Tour

Last week I shared our spring and Easter kitchen decor…

…and today I’m moving on to the dining room.

I always look forward to the start of spring, but, I have to say, I think this year takes it to a whole other level! My soul is craving the warmer weather and brighter days SO much more this year, and I can’t wait to be able to socialize outside with friends and family again. So, in celebration of spring and all the hope that it brings, I’m sharing some fun and pretty ways to add some spring and Easter decor to your home!

Even though I used these ideas in our dining room, it doesn’t mean that you can’t incorporate them into other spaces in your home. You can really create a little vignette anywhere to help brighten things up! Get creative and use these ideas to add some spring and Easter decor anywhere you’d like!

Easter Dining Room Decorating Ideas

Our dining room is the first room that you see when you enter our home, so I probably spend a little more time decorating it than I would otherwise.  I’ve collected quite a few white bunnies over the years, and most of them reside here during the spring {although they have definitely started migrating into other rooms in the house as well!}.

I actually haven’t really bought any spring or Easter decor over the last couple of years, but love to switch up items that I already have. There are lots of different ways that you can display your seasonal decor pieces and it’s kind of fun coming up with new ways to use them. Here are 5 Easter dining room decorating ideas using items that we already had…

Easter Sideboard

Our sideboard is one of the first areas that I decorate. This year, I turned it into a fun Easter chocolate and candy bar. There’s even some faux chocolate in there, so I know it won’t all completely disappear!

You can find all of the details of the candy bar as well as the free Chocolates and Confectioneries Easter printable in THIS POST. Although I used our sideboard, you could do your own mini-version in a kitchen corner, on a tray, or any other little table that you have in your home. Just stock it with your favorite treats and the little printable.

Easter Centerpiece

I love shopping our home and finding items that work well together for a centerpiece. Look for basic pieces that can be used throughout the different seasons and then just change up the details seasonally. Pretty bowls, terrariums and other glass containers, or trays all work well for this.

I shared this DIY Easter centerpiece a couple of days ago and it was so quick and easy to put together.  You could always add some fresh flowers, real greenery, or any other seasonal decor pieces that you love too.  Putting it all on a tray ties it together and makes it easy to move on and off the table when needed. Again, if you don’t need a table centerpiece, this same ideas would be cute on a large shelf or side table display in your living room.

Easter Beverage Bar

Even if you’re not yet having guests in your home, you can still set up a simple seasonal beverage bar for your own family. It can be for your coffee/tea, a hot chocolate bar, or even just a flavored water bar.

I always use this little corner in our dining room for some kind of beverage bar with this tray stand and mug ladder. I found the bunny mugs at HomeSense a couple of years ago which inspired the Hippity Hop for the printable.

The bunny pitcher works well for some flavored lemon water and can also double as a flower pitcher if anyone wants to bring me some fresh flowers.

The bucket on the mug ladder holds some hot chocolate powder and marshmallows. {You can get the Easter hot chocolate labels HERE.}

And then I just have a few chocolates on the tray along with a set of bunny salt and pepper shakers. They’re filled with cinnamon – one of my favorite hot chocolate toppings!

Free Easter Printables

It’s no secret how much I love creating printables! They’re such a quick and easy way to add a seasonal touch and don’t require any additional storage in the off season. I actually have a whole post with all of the free Easter printables I’ve created over the years, so you can check those out for lots of different design styles and ideas.

In addition to the Chocolates and Confectioneries printable that I we have on our sideboard, I have two more new Easter printables that will be out on the blog next week. They all coordinate together so you can mix and match them wherever you like! This Hippity Hoppity one is on our beverage bar tray and the other one is hanging on the wall beside our hutch. You can’t see it very well there in the photos so here’s the close-up…

Well that wraps up our little tour!  Thank-you so much for dropping in and I hope you’re inspired to add a little spring and Easter decor to your own home. If you’re new here and would like to stay in touch, you can always find me here..

Easter Candy Bar

You can’t have Easter without chocolate and candies, right? I definitely have a sweet tooth and love all of the Easter treats! Not only are they delicious, but they can also add a pretty pop of color to your Easter decor {if they last!}. So, in honor of my love for Easter chocolates and candies, I decided to put together a fun little Easter candy bar on our dining room sideboard.

I found these faux Chocolate bunny containers at the dollar store and they kind of inspired the whole vignette. It’s nice to have some “chocolate” around that I know won’t be going anywhere. They look pretty realistic when they’re completely closed up. {I have this one cracked open a bit so you can see how it works.}

To display the chocolate, I used some of our Easter bunny containers and a couple of little bowls. Lidded mason jars or glass containers are another great option – especially if you have a bigger candy collection. This would be a fun idea for an Easter party or Easter dessert bar!

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know how much I love creating printables so, of course, I had to make a printable to go with it! I’m officially opening Cottontail Co. Chocolates and Confectioneries.

I played around with using a large oversized print and a smaller 5×7 print in the vignette and can’t really decide which option I like better. What do you think? Here’s the 11×14…

and here’s the 5×7…

Easter Chocolates

You can add whatever chocolates and candies you would like to your candy car. I just used my bunny collection and a few little bowls for storage but you can display candy in lidded mason jars or glass containers. You also don’t need to have a large space. A few mason jars on a tray with the small framed printable would be perfect on a kitchen counter or sofa table in your family room.

Here’s what we added…

• Mini Eggs and Eggies {because there’s always an ongoing debate which one is better!}
• chocolate bunny
• chocolate covered almonds
• Easter gummies
• these adorable Lindt chocolate carrots. You can find them on Amazon HERE, but I found them cheaper at our local grocery store.

I hope you have fun with this Easter candy bar idea. There are so many ways that you could put it together, so get creative! I’d love to see what you come up with.

DIY Easter Bunny Centerpiece

DIY Mini Easter Bunny Pom Pom Bunting

The post Chocolates and Confectioneries Free Easter Printable and Easter Candy Bar appeared first on Clean and Scentsible.

Cute DIY Easter Centerpiece with Easter bunnies. Easy to customize and the perfect addition to your Easter tablescape or Easter decor.

Easter Decor

If you’re looking for something to dress up your Easter table, this easy DIY Easter centerpiece adds a fun Easter touch! It’s a great way to use items that you already have on hand in a new way. This centerpiece is kind or a mix of my spring centerpiece from a few years ago and my Easter bunny centerpiece from last year. Place it on a tray to make it easy to take on and off the table when needed. It’s the perfect mix of cute and functional!

DIY Easter Centerpiece

This DIY Easter centerpiece is an easy way to add some Easter decor to your home or Easter tablescape and is lots of fun to put together.

Materials

• glass terrarium, hurricane candle holder/vase, or other glass decorative piece
• potting soil
• faux stems {I got mine at Michaels}.
• greenery {faux or fresh clippings} or moss (I like this brighter reindeer moss}
• Easter bunnies {Homesense always has some cute inexpensive options}
• decorative rocks {you can find these at the dollar store}, wood pieces, or other natural elements

Instructions

• Place some soil in the bottom of your container.
• “Plant” your flowered stem in the soil.  Bend and fluff it out until it fills the space to your liking. Depending on the size of your stems, you may need to cut it down using some metal cutters or use two smaller pieces.

• Add your bunny {or bunnies!}
• Place decorative rocks, wood pieces, or moss on the bottom of the terrarium to make it look a little more realistic. You could also add some Easter eggs or mini decorative carrots if you would like.

• Place the terrarium on a tray and add any other decorative elements that you would like. You can keep it more decorative or use more functional items that you’ll need such as napkins, cream/sugar, salt and pepper shakers, etc.

I hope you have as much fun with this as I did! Let me know if you create your own.

Add some pretty spring touches to your home with these simple spring kitchen decor ideas. Easy tips and tricks that can be adapted for any sized space and design style.

Spring Home Tours

Winter is my least favorite season of the year, so I’m always happy to start bringing out our spring decor! Even if the weather outside isn’t quite spring-like yet, I know that those longer, warmer days are just around the corner. Today, I’m joining Marty from A Stroll Thru Life for her annual spring home tour series. There will be over 30 homes on the tour, all decorated for spring. There’s always a beautiful variety of design styles and decor ideas shared, so there really is something for everyone! You can find all of the bloggers participating at the end of the post so I hope you can check them out throughout the week.

If you’re coming over from Southern State of Mind – welcome!! I’m so happy you were able to pop by. Heather has such a gorgeous home and I’m a little jealous of that warm southern weather right about now!

Today I’m going to be showing you around our kitchen and giving you all of my tips and tricks for adding some simple spring touches to your kitchen space.

Spring Kitchen Decor

The kitchen might not be the first place you think of when it comes to adding seasonal decor, but it’s always one of my favorite places to switch up for the seasons. Most of us spend a lot of time in the kitchen each day, so you might as well make it pretty! Adding some spring decor to your kitchen doesn’t have to be hard or expensive. Just a few simple touches can make all the difference! Here are my favorite tips…

Use what you have in different ways.

I haven’t really bought anything new for our kitchen for a couple of years in terms of spring or Easter decor, but I do still try to switch up what we already have.  Add some greenery to your regular decor, switch up your kitchen towels, or change up where you usually put your seasonal items. You can always pull items from other rooms as well, so shop your home and find a few decor pieces to swap. As you’re changing things up, declutter any items that you notice that you no longer use or love.

Keep things tidy on a tray.

No one wants the look of a cluttered kitchen and trays are one of the best ways to make everything look more pretty and organized. Corralling items on a tray gives your display a more unified look and makes keeping your counters clean so much easier.

Add 1 or 2 seasonal items to your tray for a fun, decorative touch. You can easily change these out each season for a new look without changing up your whole decor.

Display some art.

I always enjoy switching up our artwork each season. We have one frame on the counter and another couple of frames hanging by out kitchen table. You can use favorite seasonal photos, find art that has colors or images that you love, or look for free printables that go with your decor and style.

If you’re looking for some spring and Easter printable ideas, you can find this McGregor’s carrot patch printable HERE, my Happy Spring printable HERE, and all of my other free Easter printables HERE. I like to store all of my seasonal prints in the photo frame throughout the year and just rotate them around as needed. Super quick and easy!

Add a seasonal vignette.

Depending on the size of your kitchen, create one or two spots for your Easter or spring decor to create a pretty vignette. I use this space at the end of our kitchen counter as it’s the least used counter space.

If you’re short on space, mix in functional items with your seasonal items. Cookie jars are also perfect for storage if you don’t want to use them for storing cookies!

I have a few places throughout the kitchen for our white bunnies and just add them in with our regular decor.

Dress up the sink.

I love dressing up our kitchen sink each season with a few pretty {and functional!} touches. It just takes a couple of minutes to do and makes washing dishes a little more enjoyable.

A small tray, cutting board, or cake stand works well to hold dish soap, hand soap, scrub brushes or any other kitchen sink necessities. Add one or two simple seasonal touches, and you have the perfect display.

Decorate a chalkboard.

A chalkboard is one of the most inexpensive ways to switch up your seasonal decor and they can be a lot of fun to decorate! If you haven’t tried playing around with chalkboard designs yet – give it a go! Chalk is very forgiving so don’t be worried about being perfect. Just stick with a simple design and have fun! Check out my chalkboard 101 tips if you’re just getting started.

If you’re really not comfortable coming up with your own chalkboard designs, you can use a vinyl cutter and white vinyl to create your image. {If you have a Cricut, you can find my Happy Easter design HERE}. For a more realistic look, just add some chalkboard dust around it. Or you can follow this tutorial for how to transfer an image onto a chalkboard. I topped our chalkboard with this fun DIY mini bunny bunting and a cute bunny towel.

Freshen up with flowers.

One of my favorite things about the start of spring is all of the fresh flowers! While it might not be possible to have fresh flowers all the time, they’re definitely a nice little indulgence. I especially love tulips at this time of year as they come in so many different colors and varieties and can usually be picked up at the grocery store for less than $5.

You can always add in some fresh greenery from your yard to bulk up your flower displays or even add in a few faux stems. You can find all of my tips and tricks for making flowers last longer HERE. Have some faux greenery or flowers on hand to sub in when you don’t have fresh flowers around.

Add a spring centerpiece.

I always look forward to switching up our table centerpieces each season. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy or time-consuming. This year I brought some of that spring green indoors with this easy DIY tropical spring centerpiece.

This centerpiece goes together in about 15 minutes and should hopefully last right through the summer! You can find the simple tutorial HERE.

Well that about wraps things up! Thank-you so much for dropping in and I hope you enjoyed our spring kitchen decor. I’ll be showing you more of the rest of the house over the next couple of weeks, so be sure to check back. If you’re new here and would like to stay in touch, you can always find me here..
