I have a spot in my house that changes constantly. Or at least the wall does. I can't ever figure out what to put on this wall in my entry beneath my stairs. Either it's too big and I can't open that bench, or it's too small for the wall. So, yeah. It's ever changing. I decided to try something new for Spring. Wait....what's spring you say? Oh, it's the thing that happens after all this horrid snow and below 0 temps :) haha. I know. Putting this up is jinxing myself. And I totally did. I put this up one day, and the next it snowed 10 inches. Now I'm going to push my luck and decorate the rest of house in the coming days. Bring on the three feet of snow! Anyway. Back to my entryway...
I added some new additions in here. First thing being a stick. Yep. I actually just put it here for a second since it was an empty wall to lean on. And...I loved it. So, I tucked it behind the basket to incorporate it. Random stick...check! haha. Next, I found this "This is us" sign and couldn't let it go. It's one of those pieces that is almost too big for the wall since I can barely open the bench with the pillows on it. So far though...it hasn't fallen. *knock on wood* I decided to spring this piece up by adding some green garland to it. On to the cathedral window I made last year. I just love this piece, but can't find a living spot for it. I actually had it in my 'spring' box and didn't know where to put it. So, I tried it here. Usually wouldn't do something like this since it feels off. But I think with the gradual 'steps' if you will from the smaller stick, to the sign and then up to the window I think it works. Maybe I'm wrong. But for now, it's staying!
Here's the view looking at the door. I never know which way to decorate this bench. The pillows only face one way. I love walking by this area during the day with the pillows looking at me. But, I also know it's more inviting coming in to the face of the pillows. What do you think?
As for the pillows. Even though I rarely have flowers in my house, I just fell in love with this Flower Market pillow. I paired it with some neutral stripes and texture with the other two pillows.
Every time I look at the stairs in these pictures I want to rip off the carpet and paint them white! I would have to add a runner down the middle for my littles, but I totally think this might be my next big project! What do you think? White or the color of my floors? Those are my options. ...or leave it. I guess that's an option also...and definitely the option my husband would pick. You know...the whole leave things be and don't ever ever ever change a thing. Yeah. haha.
What area do you decorate for spring first? I guess the bigger question...when? I just got so sick of my winter decor...even though I loved my flocked trees. I figured 3 months of that is enough. I needed to keep it "magical". The magic gets lost when you have it around for half the year! haha. Plus, the whole 10 inches of snow thing is bugging me. I sure live in the wrong place! I need 80 degree temps! :)
