Happy Friday Friends!!
Spring is definitely in the air! We have almost one week of the time change under our belts and I’m loving the longer days already!! We’ve gotten the kids’ bikes and scooters out and that little bit of extra sunshine seems to give everyone an extra boost!
I haven’t decorated much for spring before, but blogging seems to have changed me a lot (in good ways!) and I’ve been adding some lil’ spring touches here and there…. and planning some more, too! Can’t wait to share some more springy DIY with you soon!
Today I’d like to show you that decorating for Spring doesn’t have to break your bank account! Earlier this year I shared my DIY Coffee Table and ever since my husband built it for me, it’s been soo fun to style and create different vignettes! Flowers always add such beauty and color to a room, but if you’re like me, you might not be able to afford flowers every week. So, the next best thing…. faux flowers!!! And a trip to your local thrift store! Come along and I’ll show you my finds!
I bought three bunches of faux tulips from The Dollar Tree. I usually buy our faux flowers from Michaels or from a décor store in town, but last year I bought these same tulips in orange and got TONS of compliments on how beautiful they were! When I told one friend that they were fake, she could not believe it! Nothing says spring to me like the color yellow, so these prettys came home with me!
The DIY Tray Makeover was $1 garage sale find last year and I love it still! The distressed finish is perfect and I love how it’s large enough to hold a variety of items! Last week I had an appointment and I got sidetracked majorly just a little bit because my favorite thrift store was just a round the corner! These two vases were exactly what I was looking for! The “clear” one is actually quite green but you can’t really tell in the picture. Who knew thrift stores had holiday displays?? Apparently they do, but I have never noticed that before! I found it on their all-things-green St. Patrick’s Day display 🙂
I just love this white milk glass vase! I’ve done a little searching online trying to find out how old it would be. My husband was surprised when I came home with it… he said I needed to go raid his mom’s collection of vases. She has lots of these! Well, good to know! (*wink*)
Don’t you think flowers make a room so happy and cheerful? 
And one more just because! Oh! And I just had to add a picture of these precious little ones… there’s our two little ones and my sweet lil’ nephews!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I just might be found curled up right there with a good book!
By the way, if you’re on Instagram or Pinterest I’d love for you to come on over and follow along!
Thank you for stopping by today!
Happy Friday Kendra! We too are excited of the promise of sunnier days! Our week has been bleak and rainy but we can dream! Your Spring vignette is adorable – love your tip about faux flowers! Thanks for sharing and cheers to a happy weekend!
Thanks, ladies! I always appreciate your comments! Hoping you both have a great weekend and enjoy some sunshine soon! xo
So pretty, Kendra! The white vase looks like milk glass. I have a tiny obsession with milk glass and my own little collection! The tulips are gorgeous too and I never would have guessed they came from the dollar store!
Thank you Amy! Yes, that vase is milk glass! I couldn’t think of the proper name for it! I love it too… I bet your collection is gorgeous! Have a wonderful weekend! xo
Awww Kendra, those flowers are beautiful and I’m totally drooling over that lovely white vase too!!! Thrilled that you’re enjoying this warm weather and the extra hours of sunlight in the evenings with your littles! Have a fab weekend my friend!!!
Thanks Kristi! I am loving how the neighbourhood has come alive! Hope your weekend is wonderful too, friend!
I love milk glass too and that tray is lovely!! I know you’re going to have so much fun decorating the top of your new coffee table. Happy weekend!
Thank you Lisa! Yes, I’m loving decorating it already! Hope you’re having a great week, friend!
I am planning on doing a Spring centerpiece for my table that I didn’t have time to finish last year. 🙂 I love those yellow tulips!!
Thanks Carrie! Enjoy making your centrepiece! They’re so fun to make! Have a wonderful weekend, friend!
Kendra, I totally thought those flowers were real! They look just like the bunches they sell at Trader Joe’s!
And I also love milk glass 🙂
Happy (kind of) Spring!
I’m glad they look real even in the pictures, Karen! Thanks so much! I think spring is finally on it’s way 🙂 Have a great weekend, sweet lady!
I love the yellow Tulips !!! The Dollar Tree is where I get most of my flowers too, even though Michaels look so amazing..can’t beat the Dollar Tree price for a change out!! Gorgeous!! Happy weekend, Kendra !

So pretty! I’m totally the same, I never really did much “spring” decorating until now! A blog will do that to you. 😉 I LOVE having flowers out, too. And those tulips really do look real! Love it all, it’s the perfect spring vignette! Hope you have a lovely week, friend! 🙂

Just lovely, Kendra! You took a few inexpensive (but gorgeous) items and made them look like a million bucks!

I love finding little treasures at the dollar store! Sometimes I come home with things I am not sure yet what I am going to use them for but they always find a home! thanks for the ideas!
You’re welcome, Brittany! That’s totally me, too! I buy stuff for “later” all the time 😉 Thanks so much for coming by and hope the rest of your week is great!
I love how you styled this Kendra! Yellow totally says spring to me too. I am going to have to go to the Dollar Tree and see if I can get some of these tulips. Your kids and nephews are so cute too…they definitely make the vignette! xoxo

After relatively nice temperatures we woke up this morning to a couple inches of snow. Mother Nature is playing tricks on us again. Your vignette is beautiful and it’s time that I get distracted by my favorite thrift store again!
Thanks Sandra 🙂 It is snowing here as I write this… but definitely looking “springy” inside! Hope you score some great finds at your thrift stores! Thanks so much for stopping by!
