Spring

I am so ready for good weather. I'm not a fan of the weather trying to trick me into enjoying the sun and warmth one day just to send wind and rain the next day. I decided going to Mexico in January wasn't the smartest idea it makes you wish for weather we just don't get here until June. So I decided to lighten up my piano decor and add a little spring to it. Here's how it turned out.
I spray painted this basket blue, it was yellow, and I got it at the dollar store. I also wrapped Styrofoam glittery apples from the dollar store with moss, and hemp. And then I spray painted plastic Easter eggs blue and white and speckled them the opposite color. The blue candle stick in the background was my splurge, and my favorite thing.

I got this picture frame on clearance for $5, I just need to put a picture in it.


I mod podged scrapbook paper onto the letters spring which stick into a base with dowels so I can change the letters as the seasons change, or my mood.
I filled a vase with more of the eggs, and moss balls and hemp balls, which I spray painted one blue. I love spring colors.
Here's what the dollar store sparkly foam apple looked like before....
And here is the after. Much, much better. I found the idea for this on make it and love it. I sure hope spring comes fast, but if not I brought a little of it inside for me to enjoy.
