Spring Cupboard





The change in each season brings a change of dishes in my cupboard.






White dishes and some of my silver find a temporary home in the little-built in cupboard. I think white and silver look stunning together.









Add a bunch of white tulips, some nest and pastel eggs ~ and it becomes Spring!








What makes this arrangement so unusual for me... I didn't polish my silver.  It doesn't have too much of a patina, but I usually would never put it out unpolished.













There are little eggs and nest tucked here...











And there...














Birds and Bunnies find a place in the little Spring cupboard!













Spring is coming... slowly... to StoneGable.

    The silver and white are so lovely. I think that the shape of your cupboard adds a lot to the beauty of the arrangement.

    Beautiful, Yvonne! It's such a classic look with the white and silver. I love all your egg and nest displays; I don't know which is my favorite but I think the one in the large white bowl is just stunning.

    Very pretty spring additions to your cabinet. I love the more 'natural' egg embelishments you used rather than the bright colored eggs. Absolutely beautiful.

    My sister told me to come here and look at your cupboard. I tried to come here yesterday and it wouldn't let me in. She asked me how I liked your candlesticks. I told her I love them and she said that was good. She bought the same exact ones for me! I am so excited to get them! I love your cupboard. I am taking notes on it since I want to do the same kind of things on top of my cupboards. Now to go shopping!

    Yvonne, inspirational as always! Whenever I use my seasonal dishes to decorate a shelf or cupboard, and then decide to use them for a tablescape for company, I always struggle with how to handle that. I was wondering what you do in those instances? Do you re-decorate the cupboard, or just re-arrange the pieces that are left? Or do you leave it bare? I would love to hear from you. Thanks, Shae

    I was feeling quite sorry for myself having to get rid of my Christmas/Winter/Olympic theme. (Black/White/Cream/Green with a touch of red during the Olympics). I enjoyed all my arrangements and vignettes. I couldn't imagine what I could possibly put up that would be as good when your post came across my wall. TA-DUM!! There was my answer! Silver. I normally never polish my silver as the patina is perfect for Halloween which is the only time it comes out. Thanks for the inspiration!
