A Transitional Winter Spring Dining Hutch

I have found myself longing for Spring.  

Longing for soft colors, buds on trees, and fresh air.

Oh Spring! 

I know that you are near, 

but sometimes you are just not near enough! 

 I wanted to decorate for Spring so badly.

Trouble is, it's hard to decorate for Spring 

while there's so much snow on the ground.

We did got a few warmer days, temps up into the mid 40s, 

but from what I hear,

the single digits are back this week.

What to do?

I made a transitional Winter to Spring vignette

 on my dining hutch.  

A touch of Spring, but without all the 

soft colors of Spring that I'm craving right now.  

Neutral is the name of the game.

I made the rag wreath out of cream, white & beige fabric.

You've probably seen a lot of this stuff in other vignettes before.

The only new piece is the screened box.

I found it at the antique store & I just loved it.

I have no idea what it could have been used for in its

former life, but I like the texture it adds here.

I pretty much "shopped the house" for this display.

I love to borrow from around the house,

but the trouble is, it always leads

to having to fill in the stuff I borrowed

from the other rooms!  

C'mon Spring!

I'm patiently waiting for you.
