Decorating with Naturals
Imagine this. It’s a beautiful day out. You are standing outside with your eyes closed, surrounded only by nature. It is warm and sunny with a slight breeze that smells like spring. You can hear the breeze blowing through the tall grass and you can hear water trickling from the vanished winter ice.
At this point, you become one with nature.
Now wouldn’t it be nice to feel that way in your home?
If you are going to go to the store and buy decorations, remember this, buy pieces that can be used at any time of the year. Such as, glass canisters, vases, jars etc. As long as it is see through, you can accent anything in it during any time of the year.
In spring we see a lot of old tall weeds, grasses and bare branches. Lets bring these in the house. That way we can feel as invigorated inside, as we do outside. You can place these in those glass items I shared with you.
You want it to feel more like easter? Then add a few bunny accents with pastels. Change out a couple of pillows. That always changes the look of a room. Are you on a budget? Then just buy a roll of pastel ribbon and tie a beautiful ribbon around your throw pillows. I do this at Christmas time. I have some cream pillows and burlap pillows. I just tie red ribbons around the pillows so I don’t have to go out and buy all new pillows.
Want a grand centerpiece for your kitchen table? Cut a bare tree branch and place it into a big glass vase. Lastly, tie a cute ribbon around the vase. I used burlap ribbon, but you could use a pretty pastel ribbon as well. You can just change the ribbon with every season.
Do you have an Easter village?
Stop paying money for village accents and create your own with naturals. Pull some old long grass and hot glue it to a piece of paper. There you have it, your Easter village floor.
Using a thin branch, cut it into a few pieces, and create a bonfire for your bunnies.
Pick tall old weeds that are branch like, and bundle them together. Place them in a tiny glass jar and use
these as mini trees in your easter village or just as an accent on your mantle.
Decorating with naturals will give your home an invigorating feel. Just watch how many of your guests compliment you on your new home decor.
