White Wednesday " rustic spring "



Rustic elements help create the look

and feel in our home to

welcome the spring season...





Using reclaimed wood that I have white washed

in some areas, old window frames & shutters...



Beautiful twigs and coral

are always used throughout my home

giving that use of nature and sea...



Every pillow in our home

is made by the beautiful and talented

Rose of The Tarnished Crown



I found a piece of an old wood scaffold

at a yard sale and it creates another

beautiful backdrop in a corner of the room...



I mix grays and whites to give that

soft neutral look that I love...



{I love age worn wood}



Spanish moss in the natural color

is the perfect filler for my urns.




I will be linking this post to

Kathleen's White Wednesday #144



May your spring season be filled with blessings...

Love to each of you
XOXO

    Hi Kate ~ Happy Spring to you Too~ I can't believe the wonderful weather we have been having.... I bet you are EnJoying the weather too... Love all these fabulous Whites, the tones are perfect~ Did you see the photo in the newest Country Living Magazine, they had a wall filled with all different size Shutters, they had them all painted in soft Blue & Green, but all shades of Old White & Gray would be Outstanding! Have a wonderful week, I am off to do some more Spring Clear Out!

    Love the "feel." I have an old distressed door that stands in my corner. I'm looking for a burlap wreath to go on it.

    I'm always swept away when I visit you, Kate. Love you washed pieces. I had to laugh when I saw your little urn. I have exactly the same one. Kindred spirits.

    You've got to treasure those things that are pure. Something about this setting makes me think of a nice dinner with a cool glass of lemonade...crying. That's just where my mind goes...I'm always finding a story within some picture :)
