I'm a huge fan of DIY. There's a joy in creating the decor I pepper around my home. However, sometimes I do buy, instead of crafting things from scratch or upcycling something old. Here's a case in point. A few weeks ago, I was driving through town when I noticed the most spectacular home. It was a large white farmhouse, with black shutters and the most stunning white tulip wreath hanging on the front door. It was so good, I had to turn around. I'm not kidding. The view was that striking.

It's no secret that I love flowers. Besides telling you that I love them on an almost weekly basis, I feature them often, both here on my site and in my home.

They're even on my family room sofa.

What could be better than that? A little over a year ago, I shared some very pretty contact paper and my intention to give my pantry a makeover. I'm sure it comes as no surprise when I say it's still not done. Frankly, after I used a lot of the red checked paper to line my kitchen silverware drawers , I didn't have enough of it to complete the pantry job and I haven't gotten around to ordering more. But that doesn't stop a girl from dreaming.

Today I'm excited to share a colorful spring DIY and a few projects from my friends as we hop  our way into spring.  In my neck of the woods, Mother Nature has been quite kind lately. While the threat of snow doesn't completely disappear until late April, the birds have been chirping, the air has been warmer and the forsythias have bloomed.
