{ Cottage Style Spring Antique Crock Centerpiece Tutorial! }

Hello Friday & friends!! Since I'm on the spring fever kick I decided to style the dining room table for spring as well. Since I'm also ticking striped crazed lately I wanted something super simple fresh & of course vintage/antique. I may have already blogged something like this in the past, but at this point in blogging all the posts are running together haha. I don't know why I've been craving the vintage blue & whites in the dining with pretty flowers & chippy-ness..WAIT, yes I do..because I'm cottage style obsessed!! I really hope today's post brightens your day & gives you some inspiration! I didn't spend anything to create this space & those are the spaces that I like the most because they're practical and they're my brand. Okay enough of me rambling & keeping you on suspense..Come take a peek below!!

I have about 13 of these crocks in different colors, ages etc.. I have about 5 with the blue stamps & crowns on them. Of course I had to use one on the table & boy this one was heavy!!! Speaking of table I'm in the works for a new one SOON!






I don't think a table centerpiece could be any more simple.

How To:

  • Wipe table down
  •  Add long runner, then second shorter runner { I used two for layering }
  • Add crocks & fill large crock with burlap + flowers or any greenery you would like.
  • Add placemats, bottles & tea towels


This corner was a little dark, so I added a basket to the large tree for some spring warmth.



This space is looking pretty fresh for spring. I think with a few more changes like the table & chairs it will be set for spring/summer! What kind of chairs should I add to this space...I'm stumped. Let be know down below!!

Happy Friday!

{ Cottage Style Spring Fireplace Update }

Hey friends!!! Thanks for popping back on here with me for a little update etc.. So it's been super gross here in Michigan with slush, fog & mud galore...eek! You guys know your girl can handle the cold + snow with ease but not this gloomy stuff. Yesterday I started to feel a funk coming on, so I grabbed some paint, cleaning products & decluttered the house- AHHH it feels so wonderful!! So back to the painting part..I've been wanting to paint our new fireplace grate since after Christmas, but with the winter decor up & it still matched I thought I would wait. After decluttering & bringing spring into the upper level I decided it was timeee! I used the same paint as our doggy room which is called " Vanilla" by Valspar!  Anyways come take a peek below!!!!
Side Note: Sorry the pictures are a bit dark, but you get why.



Okay so I have to be a bit honest with you guys..This wood grate from HomeGoods has been painted 3 times in the last 24 hrs haha. It started out distressed grey from the store then warm cream, then distressed warm cream & now just white/cream. Sometimes when I'm painting/ doing a project I  go through trial/errors before the post is fully published. In all honesty this project each time it was painted only took about 15 minutes. I used a brush for the first coat then a sponge. I also should mention I left the other side grey & I'll explain later..


Spring is blooming in our living room & I couldn't be happier.


The mini greenhouse is from Ikea as well as the plants!



Some other changes will be happening in here too, but for now the bright airy spring decor is giving me a breath of fresh air. What do you guys think about this space? Have you decorated for spring at all?? Let me know down below!

Happy Thursday!
