it's all about the hospitable home
What happens on a rainy day when I do not want to venture outdoors?
I find what area needs refreshing and then try to
come up with an idea that starts with a single item as my inspiration.
That inspiration piece was purchased last year,
placed in a closet and eventually hung in the powder room.
Where it hung until I had an epiphany
of exactly where it should land or should I say hang.
I am still on my quest to “Springify” by house.
For years, I had my “Old Country Roses” china in the hutch or “Welsh cupboard”
I had acquired this beautiful set of Noritake Summer Estate from my friend . .
~ ~ and recently just acquired some accent pieces to this set.
Vintage sherbet glasses filled with pears . .
Added more vintage pieces like this Depression Glass Salt and Pepper set.
An English Biscuit Jar . .
Trader Joe’s was selling mini pots of flowers…
~ ~ fit perfectly in the creamer!
More cheery flowers in another silver creamer/pitcher. . .
And in a vase made from a silver fork …
Or in the sugar bowl…
This silver set seems to appear in many rooms of the house . . .
My silver trophy bowl holds placemats for easy access along with candles . .
Spring themed creamer and sugar . .
Vignette on top of the hutch…
~ ~ a recent addition is the centuries old vinegar jar from France.
My hutch ready for Spring…now on to another room!!
Have a wonderful day!!!
