Simple ways to refresh your living room for Spring



What a treat awaits you today!

A very talented group of design bloggers share ideas for waking up your living room for Spring
My take is via my shop, let's take a look

Let's start with a vignette in it's current state
In a shop setting, an accent wall, especially black pops the product. This setting is current for a northern winter scene. 

Let's play as if it were your living room, where to start

#1 CHANGE YOUR PILLOWS

To follow.....a future post about our upcoming PILLOW SLIPS, to easily change your look seasonally
Other than pillows, what else did we change here?
Changed out the large clock to an urban abstract scene, faux flowers, and the Spring-like green stool. With the pillows we just layered a lighter colored option onto the color coordinated tartan


#2 MOVE AROUND SOME OF YOUR OWN ACCESSORIES FROM ROOM TO ROOM
What did we do here? Added the coral colored urn to coordinate and pop the art. Did you notice the change of the wooden bench/table versus the rug bench/ottoman? How about the moss in the urn?

#3 ADD FRESH MOSS
In urns, nestled within a vignette and molded into a ball as an accent. Fresh moss screams 'SPRING!'


Here is another vignette.....another pillow, an outdoor ornament; a French Crane, our newly crafted drinks table
Crafted from original Hermes boxes. We enlisted our talented iron worker, ordered glass for the top, and viola!
#4 BRING SOME GARDEN ACCESSORIES INDOORS 

A statue, urn......look around, instant Spring!

And of course #5 FLOWERS!  Fresh, faux, Sticks.......
Our floral designer extraordinaire, Gerrit, created these designs for this post
 Yes, all faux. A growing trend in the faux floral industry is REAL TOUCH. In this composition, the pink Tree Peonies, Purple and white Hellebore's, and the coral colored Ranunculus. Not only do they look real....when touched, they feel real, brilliant!
Look at this example of REAL TOUCH Peonies!

 REAL TOUCH Ranunculus. A simple and effective arrangement
 The sticks were gathered from outdoors,  small touches of chartreuse mood moss were added/glued, faux Muscari. See the netting to the far right? it is moss covered, flexible sheeting, and lastly a variety of fresh mosses

Look closely around your home, and play, adding Spring touches is a mood enhancer, really!

Please visit these talents for much inspiration, most of my favorites, plus they are ones to follow!

                                                        Cheers......43 days to Spring

PS......all items are available 😄

  2. Debra,
    This is fantastic how your broke down the simple changes with your expert eye. The floral designs are amazing and good to know about "real touch." I have some moss that I'm itching to pull out now. Did you get that crane when we were at High Point? I MISS you. Thanks for all your talent.

  5. Wonderful! I love the changes with the same wall. The faux (real feel) flowers/stems are my newest obsession. They look so good and are so easy...no more branches that die within 5-7 days. It's always good to hear from you, my friend.
    xo,
