Test Blog: Spring China Cabinet

I'm really not all that sure that we are going to have a Spring this year.

I see others posting beautiful pictures of their Spring flowers blooming.

And others too, showing photos of the feet of snow left to melt.

We don't have snow on the ground but I am not seeing much of Spring floral showing up in many gardens here either.

All the more reason to keep bringing season into our home!

This time, I am sharing how I decorated the china cabinet for Spring.

Top to bottom, all to give me the feeling of Spring.

On the very top I placed a glass terrarium I purchased at an estate sale several years ago. In the middle is a garden cherub I have yet to place outside at the new home. And to the right, is a large, bright platter given to me from Ms K when she moved last year.

On the left side of the top inner shelf I have a fun and colorful flower dish next to a birdhouse I painted a bright white. I clipped on a flighty little butterfly for a sense of whimsy.

And to the right is a galvanized watering can I have had forever and a ceramic bird piece that my dad had in his room at the nursing home.

Oh, I forgot to mention! I lined the back of the china cabinet with some vintage looking fabric from Hobby Lobby. A few pieces of double sided tape holds it in place. I really like being able to change the look of the cabinet with such inexpensive materials like fabric or scrapbook paper!

On the next shelf down I have another colorful flower dish and another galvanized watering can, this one is from Ikea.

And to the right is another bird house painted white along with some faux grass from Hobby Lobby, a terra cotta pot that I dry brushed with white paint, and a bird with her nest.
