Welcoming Spring With Farmhouse Florals
Once winter is over there is nothing better than welcoming in spring with some pretty farmhouse florals!
Oh, winter – when will you ever end??? There are things that I like about winter, such as a cozy home or enjoying an intimate meal for two by the fire, but I am always, always ready for it to be over! Enough about that – let’s talk about spring! 😀
For this week’s edition of The Best Of Worthing Court, I’m taking a look back at the simple ways that I brought spring to Worthing Court last year by sprinkling pretty farmhouse style florals and faux greenery throughout my home. So easy to do and I hope you will be inspired!
No matter what the weather may be throwing at us, I am d-o-n-e with winter. I’m ignoring the cold, gloomy, gray and dreary days outdoors and am gettin’ my spring on! I starting out in my farmhouse breakfast area, where the sun finally came out today and was pouring into the room. Such a treat after all of the gloom and rain.
I didn’t want to go overboard with adding flowers, so I just put a few small touches here and there – just enough to say ‘Welcome Spring!’. I’m notorious for not keeping up with the water for fresh flowers, so faux flowers it is for me.
My kitchen table centerpiece has only one small grouping of purple flowers in it, but there are plenty of other elements that speak to spring too. If you follow me on Instagram (I’d love to have you join me – you can do that HERE), you already gotten a peek of it.
Simple sprigs of dollar store flowers fill three glass jars. The grouping is made a little more noticeable by tying the bottles together with a bit of colored twine. That little white bird looks like he photo bombed my picture!
I picked up several of these cute little wooden birdhouses at Michael’s the other day for only $1. I left them unpainted because I really like the natural color of the wood.
The other end of the centerpiece is filled out with another Michael’s purchase – a terrarium filled with faux grass and some eggs. After all, Easter is just around the corner, ya know.
I know that putting together a centerpiece can seem intimidating sometimes. My best suggestion is to wait until you’re in the right frame of mind, pull out all of your stuff, dive right in and play away! I wound up using only a small fraction of the stuff that I actually pulled out of my stash.
Over on the open shelves, I only switched out a few of the items to give them some spring fling.
I took it easy on the florals on the shelves too, so as not to overdo a good thing. A couple of bunches of sweet daffodils from the dollar store fill a little country pitcher. The stacked black and white plates and bowls (from the dollar store) remained. An added easel chalkboard with a clip-on flower completes this spot.
The other end of the sideboard/dresser/linen storage is still sporting my little lamp that stays on 24/7. But, I added cute letter blocks (another Michael’s purchase) to spell out BLOOM, and a bowl of faux grass sporting more wooden eggs. One more of the little birdhouses made its way to the shelves too.
I kept the reproduction toolbox in its spot, but I switched out a few of the plates, added a few blue touches and a mason jar filled with, you guessed it, more dollar store faux flowers.
Thank you for stopping by my farmhouse kitchen today! Have you started decorating for spring?
Sharing at THESE great parties.
I’m ready for Spring also! Although, it’s been a VERY mild Winter so far. Maybe that’s the problem!!! But, I’m gathering my thoughts for Spring decor, and LOVE all that you do. I do not have a farmhouse-style home, but these ideas transcend design “boxes.” Thanks!
Hi Suzy, no I have not started decorating for spring yet….but you sure have inspired me this morning! I have that same terrarium from Michaels – love it!
The touches of spring that you added look so pretty! It’s starting to feel a bit like spring here but I know that Old Man Winter has at least a month left to show us he’s still in charge.
Beautiful ideas – love spring and you are making me love it even more.
I can’t wait for spring either. The sunshine yesterday in PA sure was a tease! Thanks for the lovely inspiration!
I’m more than happy to think Spring at this point! Thanks for the inspiration — and nudge — to bring some spring-y elements in while waiting for “official” Spring to start!!
I am so over winter! Bring on spring!
Bring on the Spring! I am ready. Love your table centerpiece. everything is just beautiful. You bring in color that really makes such a difference and just lights everything up.
It just so happens I was going through my spring scrap book ideas yesterday looking for things I want to do. I am so ready for some sun shine.
Your spring ideas are inspiring. I am ready to start decorating.
I love all the color you use it certainly brightens up a space. Your touches bring a smile.
You inspire me to bring out spring decorations. Simple touches can make a difference. Bring on spring!!
Love that long low basket tray where you corral all the goodness! Where did you get the little green wreath you have on the lamp?
Hi Patty. You can order one exactly like mine at this link: http://fave.co/2l0y8Od . Just so you know, I used wire snips to cut the ribbon off. Or you can order a set of 6 at this link: http://fave.co/2l0whbP .
I’ve followed you for a time and I love how you take the same shelves and buffet and keep lots of the same items on them but change them out each season/holiday to such cute and inspiring ideas! It makes me want to do the same thing.
Yes, I am ready for spring! I will be springifying my home to in the nest week. Thanks for the suggestions!
Looks like I’ll be hitting the DS again. Love what you’ve done here. Birdhouses are super cute.
Love your designs. So glad I found your blog.
I am going after some of those bird houses for sure! Come on Springtime!!
Love your tablescape! I wish we had a Michael’s near our home— the closest is in Memphis, almost 2 hours away. Love your ideas.
I do love farmhouse decor. It feels so homey to me and my family. You have great taste and offer wonderful very doable suggestions. Thanks
