I think its finally safe to say we can decorate for spring. I was so excited to change some things around in my home and bring in some spring decor. I never really have a set plan in mind, I just change things up, add what I have and pick up some new treasures as I see them.
Here is my piano area decorated for spring. Years ago I made a DIY Capiz light chandalier for my sons room (and I didn’t blog about it – shocker). I recently took it down, but was too attached to it (and the hours put into making it) to get rid of it. When I was clearing out this area I thought of these shells and knew how I could use them.
I took them off the metal cage of the light fixture and strung them over a piece of twine on the wall. Here are what the shells look like close up. You could easily make your own faux capiz shells. I made mine by ironing 3 sheets of wax paper together and cutting them into circles using a punch. If I were to do it again, I would probably use a cricut machine to cut out the circles as that was the most time consuming part. I then used my sewing machine to string the shells into long garlands of “shells”.
I added some tissue paper flowers above the shell garland for a punch of color (I can give more thorough instructions in a future post if anyone is interested).
Around the corner of the piano is a little corner of sunshine. I love my letterboard and enjoy changing out the quotes all the time. The silk flowers are not something I typically would buy, but on a recent trip to ikea my sons fell in love with the idea of buying me flowers. How could a mom refuse that? So home they came.
The floral monogram was made using scraps of tissue paper wrapped around a pencil and glued to a wood B. Super simple, but adds a fun pop of spring to my home.
Here is what the monogram looks in closer detail:
I am excited to share my spring decor along with projects from a huge group of other bloggers for a blog hop hosted by Hometalk! You will see all the project photos at the end of this post.
