HOUSE UPDATES

While in SLC we also managed to spend some time at IKEA (my fav!) and as soon as I got home I updated from winter Christmas {well mom took the Christmas down} to just more winter and even a little spring!

Surprisingly my mom {the horticulturist} and I love these little faux plants from IKEA.

I stole this basket from the entry and filled it with more IKEA plantings!

I technically should have posted this with the Christmas decor since I made the vase for the holidays but we kept it out in honor of the winter chill that is still outside! I just love this area in our hallway! The little bookshelf has been around as long as I can remember, so I am glad we still put it to good use.

I also love this little spot because all of the pieces on the shelf are pieces of projects I have worked on in the past. I printed out the little quote from my pinterest board {Quotes} and framed it.You can also sort of see the notebook that I chalk painted a few weeks ago with the extra paint from making the chalk tray {see here}. One of the smaller boxes that I covered with map {see here}, again with left over supplies, is also in the corner there. The books on this shelf are also some of my favorite most inspiring reads. Clearly I love this bookcase from all the memories and inspiration it brings me!

*Really quickly want to say how great using rock salt as vase filler worked! It strongly held the heavy amaryllis in place and looked like snow! How festive! I just love completing pinterest projects!
