{ Cozy Spring Upper Living room & Fireplace Refresh }

Hey pals!!! Today's post has been one I've been talking about for the past few weeks, actually since before our little Florida spring break road trip..I'll be blogging that soon too..eek I feel so behind ha. Anyways today I'm sharing some cozy spring refreshed around the house since it finally feels like spring & today even summer..I mentioned via my Instagram HERE that I have been down physically which intern messes with my mental state at times.. But then the Saturday night decor bug hit & I got super inspired & added just about every hydrangea I had in our little cottage hahaha..seriously! I wanted to share some of the charming & thrifty ways I added spring on a whim at 10pm! I swear refreshing spaces & feeling inspired to make everything beautiful around you truly makes you feel like a million bucks! Okay, I'm doing it again..blabbing, come see some spring goodness around our upper living room below...

  

I just blogged about this fun DIY  HERE . If you haven't had a chance to see it, I hope you will!! I love this little thrifty basket..charm & flowers- need I say more?!


I want it to feel so bright & colorful & by that I mean flower colors..I can't get too crazy with the colors, but the cozy bright greenhouse flowers splashed everywhere is nice to wake up to! I added tons of hydrangeas, moved that huge HomeGoods canvas painting to the living room wall from my office & I LOVE IT! It adds so much warmth & height to the room,and it's hydrangeas in a vintage wood frame..YES PLEASE!

I kept the mantel pretty simple with carrying the bright greenhouse theme with some simple terracotta pots, greenery & the vintage watering-can. I've used this watering-can on our mantel before for fall, but couldn't resist.... chippy, thrifty, vintage antiques are my jam haha!



To tie in the fireplace mantel I added some terracotta pots around the living room with some mini succulents & then added the galvanized buckets to tie in with the watering-can via the mantel!



What do you guys think about our spring living room & fireplace refresh? I'm a tad bit obsessed with how it turned out!! Though we don't have a huge home, I feel blessed to have it..As I was just writing that last part I hope you guys will say a happy thought for us as we look at another potential new home on Thursday! I will always love this one so much though...cherishing it! What was your favorite part?

Happy Wednesday!

{ DIY Spring Cottage Mailbox Basket Front Door Decor }

HAPPY Tuesday, pals!!!! Eeeek I'm so excited to be back in my office creating, writing, designing, blogging & everything HOME!! I want to apologize for my week long break as I wasn't intending it to be that much of a gap in posts...I haven't been feeling well physically & that puts my mind in a different place, so I'm so sorry. I tend not to follow the masses or be a people pleaser nor keep up with Jones' but sometimes running a business can be hard, especially when you put yourself out there like blogging etc.. Anyways today I'm refreshed & ready to post about something I'm super passionate about but have only shared a few times in the past few months..DIY!!!! So, I was at HomeGoods the other day shopping for a client & spotted this post mailbox {post} basket on sale for under $10..umm coming home with me was a MUST ha! I brought it home & knew exactly what I wanted to do with it as our front door is in a state of disaster...more on that soon! I grabbed some simple leftover supplies I had in my office & got to work. In less than 10 minutes I had new charming door decor! Come see how I did it below...


S U P P L I E S  +  H O W  T O:

  • Greenery or Flowers of any kind you like.
  • Burlap or fabric for inside the basket. { I used an old farmhouse pillow cover }
  • Nail, 3M or String to attach to the door. I used a piece of string & pieced it threw the basket & tied to door knocker.

ENJOY!

So the basket did come with two hooks on the back { See above photo }, but I didn't want to use two nails that spaced apart on my door. This is why I used the above method instead. You can do whichever is better for you!


Inspiration comes from all over for me & this little tiny coffee cup filled with creamy vanilla cappuccino was my inspiration for the type of flowers & greenery I used! I wanted something fresh but dusty cozy vintage looking...I used lavender sprigs, & some other lightly colored green branches ..sorry I'm horrible at flower names!

Side Note: If you know the names of any of these flowers leave them in the comments! FYI flowers are faux.





This door will be getting a quick makeover once we add something new...hint ha! Until then, I'm loving this spruced up simple door decor & this basket, well it has my heart..How ADORABLE & thrifty..check check! I hope you love this tiny little #DIY. If you happen to make one or something like it tag me on my social media outlets { top right of blog }! 
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALWAYS ENCOURAGING ME PALS!
