A niche, a vignette...I just call it CUTE

I'm on a little hiatus from The Master Bedroom Project...

My husband had to go to Alaska for a few days for work,
we celebrated his 30th birthday when he got home,
all three kids got one doosy of a flu that lasted forever,
and then the weather got super nice, so we've been spending lots of time outside
and so...
decorating the bedroom just kinda got put on hold.

We are still working on things,
just very sporadically.
Jacob is working on my new dresser
(he's got most of the wood all cut)
and I have figured out my nightstand "situation"
(but more on that later).

So between cleaning up throw up, doing massive amounts of laundry, and trying to stay (somewhat) on top of running the household,
I managed to squeeze in a tiny bit of spring decorating.

Using a foam ball, some fake moss, my glue gun, and a stick from the backyard,
I made my own little topiary.
Using this treasure I found for $1.99 at St. Vincent de Paul...I spray painted, sanded and added some twine
and it turned into this beauty...

I added in a wooden watering can found at Safeway for $9.99
and a little bird house from our local craft store
and viola...A little display of Spring greets you as you walk in our front door.
