The official start of spring is on the horizon and I’ve decked out the open shelves in my breakfast area in green to celebrate the season! Of course, I kept it super simple by pairing the black and white dishes that I already had with a few green dishes and mugs from the dollar store. No matter the time of year, black, white and green is one of my favorite color combos.
I added my terrarium filled with a birdhouse, a couple of nests and a chippy concrete bird. That birdhouse was originally painted with Christmas colors, but I gave it a coat of white spray paint and covered the roof with some stick-on moss.
I only needed to add two green mugs to my mug tree for an bit of an accent. You can see that I’ve layered a couple of different shades of green plates in the toolbox with my other plates. By using what I already own, I was able to only spend $6 for a fresh does of spring in my breakfast area!
The spring centerpiece for my kitchen table couldn’t possibly be any easier! All I used were three potted flowers from the grocery store lined up in a wicker tray. You might remember these from the very special weekend that we had here a couple of weeks ago!
I love the pop of bright color that they add to the room!
What’s your favorite way to welcome the season?
Sharing at THESE great parties.

Beautiful Suzy. I just finished decorating our new industrial shelves (thank you again for a great tutorial), and incorporated my favorite neutral palette (white, tan, black) with a touch of apple green. Love green this time of year!
Julie B. says
Pantone’s color of the year (or close to it!)! So pretty! I think I’m beginning to realize that I have faltered on the side of white/tan/aqua in my Wee Abode. Will need to think about sometimes changing out the aqua. Live and learn!

I’m loving the green additions; so crisp and clean! I really like the way you keep the majority of your decor and change it with just the addition/ subtraction of a few accessories. I’m trying to learn and abide by this technique.

I also like a color with black and white. I look forward to the first signs of spring each year, Michigan has such long winters. Your blog is a welcome escape and you have a lovely home.
