I don’t know about any of you, but I am ready for Spring. I am ready for the fresh bright colors and punchy patterns. Decorating in the Winter has always been a challenge for me because it is so dull. After I took down the Christmas decor, my house looked sparse and I kind of liked it…BUT it was really lacking anything interesting.
Until the boys and I made a trip to Dollar General a few weeks back and I spotted these hot pink doilies. It’s not often I have the opportunity to decorate with pink, especially HOT pink! These cute little doilies got my creative brain spinning and I came up with a way to incorporate the bold fun Spring colors into my dull Winter decor.
Check out my {SWEET} mantle…
How cool is the Giant “K” I received for Christmas?! It goes great with our wall of doors…I created the chevron canvas, doily heart garland and cupcake liner garland to add a bit of fun and whimsy. I’ll be sharing how I made them soon! The red vase is from my Fiestaware collection and small parfait glass was my grandmothers. I scavenged the yarn balls and vintage ball fringe from my craft room. The more I look at it in the space, the more I am loving it!
Here’s a close-up of the doily garland…Click here and here to see how I made them!
And my DIY Chevron Canvas…
This reminds me of a strawberry ice cream sundae…Maybe I’ll add a red puff ball on the top! Yum!
Can’t wait to show you how I made it all…Even your kids can help!

Thank you! I followed you and love your cash envelope system…I may have raved about it at Bunco the other night actually!
This rocks! Your big K caught my attention first- I recently bought a huge, cardboard-like monogram and have wondered just how to paint or cover it- I’d love to paint it to mimic this!
Thanks! I’d love to see how your monogram turns out!
Your mantel looks lovely!
Thank so much!
This looks great! And I love that metal K
