I probably won't have time to do the usual Inspiration Friday this week as I'll be gallivanting with my friends from San Francisco. So here are a few pretty "outside in" shots for Thursday. I love doing this kind of decorating, bringing garden items into the house - mine include old iron urns, stone balls, bits of old porch posts with peeling paint, bird houses, and of course my blue shutters and lots of fresh flowers.
I've recently seen some of these old vintage green glass jars - with the tin lids - think I may get a few in different sizes.
Urn with woven balls on my dining room table
A favorite bird house - too tall for a shelf so sits on the floor.
These iron urns are a perfect fit on the pine armoire - dried hydrangeas from last year's garden. I wallpapered the interior of the armoire some years ago. Postcards on door are watercolors of coastal scenes in Devon, England, my home - I enjoy glancing at them several times a day!
By next Monday I will be looking for a comfy chair like this to take a little break perhaps. Not for long though as we have more friends coming to stay for Memorial Day weekend!
