Hi friends and welcome to February's
Pinterest Challenge! We are a group of home decor bloggers who take
on a monthly challenge and each put our own spin on it, hosted by Cindy at
County Road 407. I love how Cindy mixed old and new decor for her lively Spring console
table!
If you're new here, I'm Cindy too! I have loved decorating our home for the
past five years. I'm Canadian-born, currently living south of Houston,
Texas....yep, my curly hair has never been bigger, haha! If you're interested
in reading about our family's journey across two countries, you can
click here.
We are currently in another period of transition as Mr DIY was recently laid
off. We are praying about our next possible move and even a career change, so
many changes just around the bend! Did I mention our youngest graduates from
high school in May? I am living in a state of constant prayer as we trust God
to provide all the things in His timing. I know we'll end up in a great place,
it's this
waiting and not knowing period (where I'm not in control) that
is so hard!
In the five years we've been in Texas, we have made this house such a great
home. Some of my most popular DIY projects:
- we've ripped up all the carpet and installed wood laminate farmhouse floors throughout
- updated our dark brick fireplace with chalk paint
- added farmhouse style to our tiny half bath
- installed a faux brick wall to our main bedroom with German schmear
- built barn doors
- completely refreshed our sunroom with peel and stick reclaimed wood walls
Pinterest Challenge
I would love to have you spend some time checking out our home! But, let's get
back to this Pinterest Challenge!
It may still be winter, but Spring is definitely on all of our minds! Our
inspiration image this month is a Spring Vignette, inspired by the following
image from my friend Leen at
Sand Dollar Lane.
Inspiration
Leen's home is decorated with a coastal theme (she lives near the beach in
North Carolina), and her Spring vignette reflects those coastal vibes, with
the pale blue glass and sand colored decor. If you
read her post, you'll see she hung a large painting above her table, with all those dreamy
coastal colors.
These are the elements I took away from Leen's image for my own Spring
decorated console table using what I already had:
- art above table
- lamp
- basket
- books
- greenery
Spring artwork
My jumping off point was the floral picture (see similar
here) that I found last year at Hobby Lobby. It was marked down and I loved the
vintage feel as well as the colors. The pinks and purples just feel like
Spring to me! I created a focal point of artwork behind our console table by
resting the floral print in front of the
DIY faux farmhouse clock
and name sign that were already there.
Lamp
I don't have an outlet near the table for a lamp, so I chose to add a large
hurricane lantern with a candle (see similar
here). I elevated the lantern with a vintage book and added a fern baby next to
it.
We used to have a huge
golden rain tree
in our front yard, but sadly lost it in the Texas freeze last year. The
beautiful dried pink pods
(the tree blooms in late October) were snipped from another tree in
town this past fall. I piled the dried pods in a large basket (see similar
here) and love how the colors mimic those in the floral picture.
Greenery
Leen has a large spray of leaves in a neutral pitcher. Last year I bought the
world's ugliest vase
from the thrift store and transformed it with a DIY texture paint using baking
soda (see that
here). The fun thing about paint is all the options! The blue vase has since been
repainted a neutral color. I added a faux eucalyptus leaf stem (see similar
here) for that height and more greenery that mimics the look of the inspiration
image.
Basket
Under the table, I set a large basket filled with lightweight throws and a
pink pillow to carry the pink color.
Books
I have never thought to add books and plants under a table, but inspired by
Leen's image, that is exactly what I did! I don't own many vintage books, but
I recently found this green cookbook at the thrift store and it is the perfect
color for Spring!
All the spring color makes such an inviting feeling when you enter our home!
Don't miss the rest of the team's ideas below! Kristin from
White Arrows
is next. I know you're going to love seeing how she refreshed her entryway for
Spring!

Hi Cindy, It looks great! I love the clock and the books on the floor! The clock is a great anchor! xo laura
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Laura!!
DeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteThis is just so pretty for spring. I adore that console table. The color is perfect with the curvy lines.
Thank you Christy!
DeleteTHE FORAL PRINT IS SO CUTE AND GOES SO WELL WITH YOUR THEME.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca, I'm so glad you like it!
DeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteYour entry table is spot on. I loved the print you used and the colors are beautiful. I'm praying for your family as you go through so many changes. I trust that all things happen for a reason and it will be revealed to you and your husband. My husband and I just had a discussion about unanswered prayers and with hindsight on our side, how blessed we were. Keep us informed.
Thank you Rachel, I so appreciate those words of wisdom! I trust that God will provide and all will be revealed in HIS time, not mine! xx
DeleteCindy, love how you mixed in subtle hints of pink into your spring entry. Love that big basket and your recycled pitcher. Pretty space.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol!
DeleteLovely spin on the inspiration with your console table. The pink pods are gorgeous and so pretty with the botanical artwork. Every detail is just perfect and I love how well it all works together!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Michelle!
DeleteIt looks so beautiful! I love the pinks and all the fresh Spring colors! Those pods are so beautiful, I'm so sad you lost that tree. I've never seen one like that! I got a lot ideas from your beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kristin!
DeleteI will be praying for you and your family. Hoping your wait and answered prayers come sooner than later. The not-in-your-control is the hardest for me too. But God always takes care of his children and that brings me great comfort.
ReplyDeleteLoved your table! It's beautiful! I think the wicker basket with the pink pods is my favorite part. I've never seen a tree like that and now will be on the hunt in October! I always think about adding more color (like my fave pink) but then I think I have to add it everywhere and then think it's overly feminine. Can you tell I over think things? Thanks for joining in. I love your style.
Thanks so much Cindy, we sure appreciate your prayers! I tend to over-think as well, and often over-decorate!! I always ask my teenage daughter to help me edit out the excess stuff!!
DeleteLove the pinks for Spring! You styled everything so beautifully; what a wonderful spot to enjoy looking at! Praying that God will give you peace that He knows exactly where He wants your family to be next:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lora! Appreciate your prayers!
DeleteI'm just loving your the pink pods here Cindy. And I love what you did to your vase with baking soda. Wow! Every detail works so well together.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim!
DeletePink is my favorite color, so I love the pops of pink in your pretty spring table design! Pinned!
