Blush & Green Spring Tour With Fresh & Faux Florals

I bought a few new fun home decor accessories but then just moved some others around.

 

 

I ordered new chenille leopard print pillows in this lovely chartreuse green.  I also found these gorgeous velvet striped blush pillows that were the last of their kind (custom made in Turkey) but if you contact the shop owner, he may have some scraps of material of some similar to make you some other pillows.  I was obsessed when I saw them and had to have them.  I love this combo.  I added some velvet white pillows that I’ve had for a while to just add an extra “plush” feel and more comfort when sitting on the sofa.  These inserts are inexpensive and absolutely fabulous.  They feel so expensive.  (These are all linked in the “Shop The Post” section below at the end of the post.)

I was so excited one of my favorite candles ever now comes in in this pretty green jar.  It was perfect for my spring coffee table.

I really wanted to bring in a lot of beautiful floral but my weekly fresh floral budget keeps growing and it shouldn’t, ha!  So, I wanted to invest in some good faux floral and keep the fresh arrangements down to 2-3 a week.  I shopped around online and ordered a bunch of different faux florals that even some friends had recommended and guess what?  I wasn’t too impressed.  So I went back to the drawing board and ordered some more. I tried new things.  I ultimately found a bunch of gorgeous ones that I loved at JoAnn’s AND also at Amazon.

These faux peonies pictured above are from 2 different bunches that I found on Amazon, these and these.  Their stems aren’t very thick but the rest of them are just beautiful and they have lots of different varieties of shades.

When I think of spring, I think of all my garden flowers blooming.  It hasn’t happened yet, but when it does, I have my French basket ready, my sun hat, and my fingers cant wait to get in that dirt and get my garden going again and seeing new flowers and buds!  Until then….here are the gorgeous faux florals I found at JoAnn’s that I mentioned above.  Stay tuned because next week I’m showing you something soooo fun that I’m doing with them!  You’ll LOVE it!

I shared this vase last year (I have 2 blush vases on each side of the TV) but just bought this darling pot and put faux roses and limelight hydrangeas in them.

 

Of course, I can’t resist framing an old spring photo of my kids from 7 years ago before church one day, especially when it matches my decor.

Let’s bring out the bar cart!  It’s ready for spring and ready for the entire family!  Chocolates, limeade and pink lemonade!

 

In the kitchen, I’m mixing fresh and faux florals also.

I found these large faux cherry blossom stems a couple of years ago at Michael’s and they’re still gorgeous.  I added a green vase I found at an antique store and filled it with fresh roses.

 

 

 

 

I love putting away winter hand soaps and dish soaps and bringing back out my favorite pink grapefruit soaps.  It’s perfect for spring and it’s also soooo pretty!

New lime green hand towels, my blush pink dish apron and fresh flowers at the sink….it’s so “spring”, right?!

I found the prettiest little round green vase on clearance at HomeGoods last month and it was perfect for my spring decor so…THANK YOU to all the people that didn’t want it because I was able to get it for like $4.  Woohoo!

Isn’t that so fun and bright and cheery?!  I just love it!  Pink roses, pink carnations, and even some lime carnations mixed in there made such a lovely mix.

Carnations are so under-rated.  Don’t you agree?!  They are inexpensive, beautiful and ruffly, they come in all different colors and shades, and they are a great filler.  They complement other flowers without stealing the show.  Grab a bunch to save money on your next floral arrangement.

I’ll be sharing a really fun and vibrant spring table next week so stay tuned.

What are you doing to add spring touches to your home this year?  I’d love to know!
