China Cabinet Dressed Up For Spring

Being the lover of Spring that I am, I love to dress up my china cabinet for the season.

This year my theme for the hutch was Spring Green.

Our lawn is still pretty straw like but my china cabinet is filled with all of the green tones I could find in my decor bins.

Starting from the top, I used a verde green birdcage I got on clearance at Michael's last Fall. Shop those sales my friends. The glass plate was recently found at Home Goods for only$8.99. I filled an apothecary jar with some Easter grass and added some straw carrots I got at World Market last year.

For he next shelf down I got out some of my green dishes. The dinner plate is from Dollar Tree and the polka dot one came to me from Hobby Lobby.  I forgot I even had this Welcome Spring sign but it fits in perfectly!

On the right side of the shelf, the same dishes and a floral spray from Wold Market.  I don't remember where I got the bird vase but it usually sits in my office.

I am totally nuts about birds!  I have to stop myself from buying more!

More clearance items on the next shelf down.  The embossed green dessert plate is from World Market and the stubby butterfly & flowers vase is from Michael's.

I repeated the scene on the right side of the shelf. If you look behind the vignette you will see I again used scrapbook papers to change the look of the cabinet.  I used to use double sided tape to attach the paper but, I found out about glue dots and they are my new best friend!  No more ruined paper trying to get the tape off! I just love being able to set a scene every time I re-do the hutch!

On the last shelf, I set my ceramic sheep family in front of a piece of "art" I created on canvas.

Using some of my craft paints I created a field of grass.  Simple, and yet, kind of artsy don't you think? I can't wait for our grass to be this green.

I moved the gardening book from the Welcoming Spring Tablescape to the hutch and placed a birdhouse, painted white next to it.  A green bucket from IKEA holds some moss, and a couple of terra cotta pots I had used for my Spring decor last year.

A gold and green butterfly found its way here too.

I am so happy to be saying "Welcome Spring" with my china cabinet decor! How about you?  Are you decorating for Spring yet?
