A Little Bit Of Easter

I have not really put out any Easter decor just yet. I know time is ticking away but I am hemming and hawing over paint colors. I want to paint the living room and kitchen so I do not want to decorate and then have to take it all back down to only put it right back up.

With that being said I went over to visit my friend Brenda today and took some pics of her Easter decor to share. She usually goes all out but since she is moving and her house is now for sale...sniffle,sniffle,sniffle, pass a hanker chief please, sniffle...she only had a few things out. As you know when selling less is more. 

Her beautiful spring mantle.

This giant chocolate bunny is actually a blow mold! She added the pretty little bow and flower.

Brenda makes the most beautiful embellished eggs. This is just one of them.

I just love all of her bunnies. She has a bin full of chicks she has not put out. I can only imagine the display she creates with those.
I am truly going to miss Brenda when she moves away but know it is the best for her and her family. It just means a road trip once she gets settled into her new home!;)

Before I go I figured y'all might also like to see some beautiful Santos I saw this past week while out shopping at the local antique mall.

This lady takes Santos to a higher level by embellishing them with all types of things from vintage lace to crowns and even angel wings.

This one was my absolute favorite and I wish I could have afforded her but oh well. I am sure somebody will give her a good home soon enough.

Off to spend some time with my men. They are ALL off for Spring Break next week. I may need a vacation after that!;)

New Chandy Bling & Spring

A few weeks back The Hubster and I installed our new yard sale chandy. I really liked it but I was not quite in love with it in our space. To me it was missing something. Something that would make it flow better with our decor.

I researched chandy bling and ordered some. I was afraid that they would not look as beautiful in person as they were in the listing picture. You can pretty much make anything look amazing in pictures with the right editing!;) To my surprise though they were even more beautiful. They are made from glass and not plastic so they have extra sparkle. I got 12ft for just $24.50 with free shipping. A pretty good deal I think.

The first thing I did was to swag the crystals around the entire chandy.

After adding swags around the chandy I decided to add a crystal to each tassel to ensure that it all tied together. I wanted the new bling to look original to the chandy. To help ensure this I made sure to order crystals that had the same silver loop as what was already on the chandy. 

After all the bling was added I decided to add some gold accent by highlighting the candelabra holders as well as the leaf detail with some Rub N Buff. 

Now the beautiful chandy is even more beautiful and ties in perfectly with our space.

And because I could not take pics of the new chandy bling without sharing the first signs of spring in our home here are the spring touches I added to the dining room.

I made this bunny centerpiece last year and instead of coming up with something new I decided to use it again.

We did not have the hutch this time last year so I enjoyed decorating it for spring.

My favorite bunny bowls I purchased from HomeGoods back in the fall.

I decided to show y'all the side of the dining room you never really see but it is the first thing you see when you walk in our front door. I love my federal mirror collection even if it is small. 

I am now saving up for new dining chairs. I want to put the ones on the ends back in the office. I am thinking maybe some wing back chairs with slipcovers and then two frenchy oval back chairs for the side by the hutch.

Thanx for stopping by and I hope your week was a good one!
