SPRING IN THE CUPBOARD



Do you have a place in your home that you love to decorate seasonally? I sure do...

It's a little built-in cupboard in my dining room.  It's quite tall and thin and has curvy shelves, but it can hold some of the most festive seasonal vignettes.

Here it is decked out for Spring...







I took these pictures early in the morning when the sun was playing with the crystals on my chandelier... together they made some pretty rainbows splashes across the cupboard...

















Each shelf holds pretty white plates and spring flowers planted in dishware.  Don't you just love tete a tete daffodils? So happy and cute!









Alyssum flowers are potted in my cabbage tea cups. All the plants will be potted outside eventually!















Nests and eggs play an important role too...























Happy Easter... Happy Spring!

    I do, a built in over an original dutch door that was closed years ago. It is just the right size for season displays! Perfect in our dining room.
    Enjoying the beautiful morning adn thinking on His hope. Check out my morning post about hope.

    I actually have two spots...shelves that are above our fireplace, and in our entryway. Thanks for all of the inspiration that radiates from your lovely blog! Sue

    Yvonne, this is beautiful in its simplicity. How wonderful to have that corner shelf. The theme of white with the subtle touches of green and brown and that pop of yellow daffodils is perfect. It makes an exquisite spring cupboard.

    LOVE that gorgeous built-in, it looks so awesome. Every single thing you put there looks so awesome together.

    I don't have a particular place, just all over, usually starting with mantle in great room and branching out from there.

    Have a wonderful springtime and joyful Easter! He is Risen!
