Spring Inspired Beauty for Your Home

Here are some spring decorating ideas from an expensive retail store (aka Pottery Barn) that you can produce for *free* in your home. A pleasant nature walk with your family will provide the resources for many of these peaceful settings. Some collected pebbles and rocks could be dropped into an antique jar or glass vessel. Add a candle or a few dried flower stems (my choice would be roses, what about you?) for this simple vignette.

Forage for larger, smooth stones of the same colors to create this serene ensemble. A mason jar would be attractive for this project as well. For a romantic look, add a strip of ribbon or lace (or replace the rocks with an assortment of beads and pearls).

Place any vintage volumes and "artifacts" in a tray to provide a nostalgic look.

Though the toppers may be hard to reciprocate, the decorative jar certainly isn't. Some antique clip art, attached with a vintage style tag, twine and trinket gives your home a tranquil, naturalist ambiance.

“… Are we who have been made in the image of our Creator to be less creative than those who do not know the Creator? The Christian should have more vividly expressed creativity in his daily life.”
