Tomorrow is the 1st day of spring.
Yippee, yay!
Although it doesn't feel like it here in the NE,
I am still ready to celebrate and kiss those
cold, wintery & windy days goodbye.
Are you?
Last week I featured my Rustic Spring Sign
& shared some simple spring touches I added to my
The best part of using a neutral color palette when decorating is the flexibility when the seasons change.
One of the MANY things I adore about spring, are the colors.
So bright, cheerful & happy and who doesn't need that after a LONG winter:).
Robin's Egg Blue happens to be one of my all time favorites.
How about you?
It is a classic and picked straight from nature itself,
what could be better.
Here is an easy spring project that will be sure add a little pop of happy to your spring decor.
Paper Mache Eggs-Michael's
Paint-MS Summer Haze
Two coats will do.
To add the speckles, water down your second color, mine is a dark tan, any contrasting color that you have will look great.
With your fingers flick the wet bristles onto your eggs.
It doesn't have to be perfect & if you mess up, just wipe off.
Let dry completely & flip over and speckle other side.
I also wanted to give a HUGE thank you to
Jen from The Chronicles of Home for sharing her stunning home with us on Friday!
Happy Spring friends,
-Jen
