Spring Branches...

   While wandering through Michael's craft store this past weekend enjoying all their great sales, I found these wonderful pussy willow branches. Better yet, they were half off regular price. Win. I've needed a new centerpiece for our cute little dining room table. I wanted something very simple & tall for spring, so these branches were the perfect match for my tall green "bottle vase" I already had....


Simple. Love. 


A spring centerpiece for less than ten dollars. I'll take it. 


Okay. On to something sad.. My newest addition to our house....


I bought this BIG beautiful Armoire this past weekend at an antique store, but there's a problem. It's too BIG. I bought it to go in our master bedroom so we could put our TV inside & also it has great storage in the bottom.. but my measurements were off & it's too big.


The doors both slide back & it was big enough to hide our flat screen.. because let's face it, a TV is not the best interior design element. I love how shabby this big piece is, and the antique white is great.


The armoire is currently in one of our spare bedrooms awaiting its fate. I have not decided if I was going to sell it or make it work in one of our other bedrooms. 


I hope you all are having a great week!! My week has been going so fast because of how busy work has been. Love it! What are your spring centerpieces looking like? I would love to see them.. Go link them up at Liz Marie Blog Facebook & show off your spring centerpieces. Thanks for stopping by Liz Marie Blog today..

  30. The branches are so pretty and just scream spring!!!
    Your armoire is gorgeous. It is so frustrating when things we purchase don't work out. It is too pretty to not stay in your home.It would enhance any room in your house!
    I just bought a little drop leaf table from the 1850's (just love it). When I brought it home it was not a good fit. I am looking at other options for this table. I can't part with it!
    Thanks for sharing your pretty armoire with us!
