Spring Decor Take Two

Okay, so I had horrible lighting last night so I could not take any pictures of where I put the apothecary jars. So, the lighting is good now. I have been redoing our computer/pass through room. I have painted it and have finally started to decorate it. This is the biggest wall in the room. So of course I had to put something large on it. Do you like? Every thing I either bought at DI, Goodwill, or Hobby Lobby (90% off aisle). I got the shelf for $4 at DI. It used to be green so I painted it black. The milk white urns I purchased at Goodwill. I think I only paid like $9 for all three. The large circle thing (technical wording) was at Hobby Lobby for only $3.50. I did nothing to it. I liked it as it was.... The candle stand and candle was given to me when we bought our house in Utah. It was white so I of course painted it...this time I used folk arts Jamaican Sea (same as the speckled eggs). You know about the apothecary jars already. So that leaves us with the blocks. I made them for a craft show I was in last November. They were a BIG hit. i sold out of them all in the first 10 minutes of the show. Had to start taking orders. I have made so many of them. I just love them so I made myself a set.

Remember yesterday I said I had 12 eggs that I painted? Well, as promised here is where the other 6 were used at. My new Spring center piece for my kitchen table. Do you like?
Now everything used was thrifted to on sale. The charger I had for a previous center piece. It still only cost $3. The flowers and pot were from Michael's and I paid $2 for it. The cloche I made out of a candle stick and cheese plate/dome from goodwill (see March 4th entry). I only paid $3.80 for it. Which brings us to the last 6 eggs. Don't they look pretty in there? The dove was from the same Goodwill trip as the eggs. I paid $1 for her. She was this nasty nasty nasty orange and gold. So I did what any one would do.... I spray painted her Heirloom white. Now I loves her. :O)

I like the change of the center piece. It makes me happy every time I see it. May be that is because I am soooooo excited for Spring. I just love this time of year. Don't you?

  16. It's the cloche! I've been looking for your blog. I saw your post weeks ago and loved your cloche so much that I made one of my own! I posted about it two weeks ago but didn't know who to give credit to. I've updated the post at the end and have linked back to you. Here's the link. Sorry it took me 2 weeks to give you credit. http://www.houseofhepworths.com/2010/03/22/cheese-dome-turned-cloche/
