Spring Is Here At Coastal Charm

With some warmer temps, and daylight savings time coming up this weekend, I'm sure in the mood to decorate my nest for SPRING. Now, I know that some of you are having snow storms (sorry about that), but here we are having some days in the 70's. So, what's a gal suppose to do, but get out all her bunnies and eggs, and get busy, right? I decided to make a new wreath for my front door this year, so, when I spotted these pretty faux dogwoods, I knew they would be perfect for the look, that I had in mind. Inside my nest, I have decorated the mantel and made several vignettes, but I will be sharing them with you, at a later date. My daughter got crafty again, and made a darling banner for my old rusty gate, and I am sharing that today. Thanks for taking the time to come by for a visit (I love visitors). I will be attending several linky parties, so grab a cup of coffee and join me there!
Blessings,
Linda

My Mom Cave

Here we are, with Spring just around the corner, and I am so ready to spend a lot more time in my MOM CAVE! So, you ask, now where is my MOM CAVE? It's my screened porch. Oh yes, I'm an outdoor gal. Do you have a MOM CAVE? If so, where is yours? These pics are a few years old, so you all know what that means, right? Well of course, things have changed just a tad. I am always changing things up around here, just can't leave things alone. Today, let's see some before pics, and then in a few weeks, after all the pollen is gone, and I can wash down my room, I will share some updated pics of my favorite room...MY MOM CAVE!!!!
Blessings,
Linda

Welcome y'all to my MOM CAVE!

My porch has a coastal feel to it and these two adirondack chairs add to this look.
Talk about comfort...these are so comfy!

I do allow Mr.CC a little space for his "Green Egg",

how sweet of me to share.

Mr.Bunny has been with me for years...almost a member of the family!

Okay...here it is...my FAVORITE place in my MOM CAVE...my SWING!
I have always enjoyed a porch swing...I think it goes all the way back to my childhood days at my grandparents home in the country and spending hours at a time swinging on theirs.

I'm an outdoor gal, so spending time out here gives me lots of needed MOM TIME!

One of my favorite finds, is this rustic CHURCH basket that I found at a craft show in Mississippi years ago.

Love her handle...don't you? Just look at her cute little bell!

Here are a few pics after I added some thrifty curtains made from sheets,
what do you think...are they keepers?

I found this vintage wicker rocker and a matching sofa at a moving sale at the beach...now it didn't look anything like this...with some cleaning and painting...she started to look much better. I cover the cushions with some "FLIP FLOP" fabric...adding more to the coastal look.
