I already shared my spring home tour last week but today is all about creating a pretty spring vignette. If you’ve followed me for awhile then you know that I usually like to keep my decor simple. Our cottage is pretty small, and we don’t have a lot of surface area for decor, so I like to spread spring around with a few simple but pretty spring vignettes.
If you’re stopping in from Kingsbury Brook Farm, welcome! I’m so excited to be joining Kendra, from Joy in our Home, for her Spring Festival Blog Hop today. There are 23 more blogs joining in on the hop, in a few different categories, so make sure you check them out.
So let’s talk spring vignettes.
I really don’t have a secret formula when it comes to creating vignettes. Like most of my decorating, I like to keep it simple and try to work with one piece at a time. One thing I know for certain is that there will always be fresh flowers involved.
For this spring vignette I went for a cute Easter, spring color theme. I don’t usually do a full-out Easter display but I found this adorable bunny cake stand from HomeGoods and couldn’t resist.
With one piece of the puzzle in hand, I was ready to start creating my spring vignette. The first thing I had to do was to find a way to corral all my goodies. I needed something big so I pulled out my old round wooden cutting board.
With my base in place I was able to start with the cute bunny cake stand, followed by a checked navy napkin, dessert plates and another bunny on top.
I’m still loving the blues, and I have a lot of blue accessories, so I stuck with that. You don’t have to go with all pastels this time of year. Decorating is using what you love, regardless of the season.
I added a pretty navy bowl filled with paper grass and a bit of color with candy eggs. Navy checked straws in a little glass rooster jar adds more color and texture to my spring vignette.
Like I said, fresh flowers are my go-to for any kind of vignette I create. I splurged for this one and bought 2 bunches of purple tulips from Trader Joe’s. After I put them in my simple glass vase I felt like something was missing. $2 worth of limes was just the trick. I just plopped them in and arranged my stems around them.
And yes, in case you’re wondering…plopped is an official decorating term. 😉
I’m loving the pop of bright green from the limes.
It’s colorful, fun and pretty. All the things you need for a beautiful spring vignette.
The kitchen couldn’t have all of the spring fun so I added a bit of color to our small entryway. I tried something different with this space and styled it two different ways. Again, I went simple.
A pitcher with tulips, some faux greens (that I already had) in a straw bag and a wooden bird.
For the second one I just traded out the pitcher of tulips for a preserved boxwood under a cloche, while the tulips hang out in the straw bag. Real ones won’t last long but you could easily switch them out for faux stems.
Either way it’s nice to walk in the door and see spring color.
I hope I was able to convince you that it really is easy to add some simple but pretty spring color to your home.
Happy 1st day of Spring! Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks so much MJ! I’m usually a little late with my spring stuff too but I’m so ready for it this year. Now if our weather would just cooperate.
It’s so nice that you are able to watch your grands when your son needs you. There’s nothing more important than family. 🙂
Happy 1st day of spring my friend! Hope the rest of your week is good.
Stacey @ Poofing the Pillows

Awww, thanks so much Brenda! I don’t usually go for themed things (too many themes, so little room to store stuff) but he was so cute. Thanks so much for stopping in and taking the tour. Happy Spring! xo
Kristi
Thanks so much Marie! I’m just happy to have some spring color in the house. 😉 Yes, I did paint the kitchen island. It was green before and I painted it in Benjamin Moore Wrought Iron. Love that color.
Happy Spring!

I love the simple ways you added spring to your home in these vignettes. What a great idea to add the limes to the vase!

Love the bunny plate so cute, i am sure you are ready for spring cause your house certainly looks ready and lovely.
jillian
As always, cute, cute, cute! I love how you suggest a theme rather than bombard the house with it. I am doing that more and more and you are a good role model 🙂
Carrie @ Curly Crafty Mom
I really need to splurge on some fresh flowers for the hoe more often, it really does bring some Spring indoors! I love that milk pitcher you have the flowers in on the one vignette, so pretty! I also love those straws and how they coordinate with the napkin. Beautiful!

Your home is really beautiful, Kristi! I love all of your bunny items and the pop of color with those gorgeous tulips just seals the deal. Everything is so cheery and festive. Happy Spring, CoCo
Debbie H
Simple and pretty. Love blue and white.
MaryJean
Everything looks so pretty, Kristi! I love your Easter accessories. I’m embarrassed to say I haven’t even gotten out any Easter displays except for a wreath on my door. Been too busy with getting things ready for my blog posts and babysitting for my son and his wife. She had an unexpected death in the family so they were busy with that. I’m happy to help out when I can. She is such a sweet young woman and I’m thankful she is my DIL.
And we still have some snow on the ground so it was refreshing to see your spring decorations, although the sun is shining here and the snow is melting! Yay!
Happy Tuesday!
Brenda Lane
Love the bunny cake plate! Spring has certainly sprung at the little stone cottage. I enjoyed the tour, you are so creative.
