Bringing The Outdoors In
I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for spring. The sun is starting to peek out, the trees are waking up, and my seasonal allergies are making sure I don’t forget it. Naturally, I decided to channel my spring fever into a little project: bringing some of that outdoor magic into my dining room.
Armed with my trusty saw, I ventured out to snag a few blooming branches and I may or may not have picked a tree where the flowers smell... questionable. Can’t say I nailed that part, but hey, we’re here for the vibes.
Once I got my new leafy friend inside, I realized she was a big girl and needed a little trim to fit the space.
After a bit of snipping and adjusting, I plopped her into the perfect spot in the dining room. The vase? A $6 Goodwill find. The tree? Absolutely free. The satisfaction of pulling this off? Priceless.
Now, my dining room has this fresh, organic feel that makes me smile every time I walk by. The branches are wild and a little unruly, but honestly, that makes me love them even more — perfectly imperfect, just the way I like it.
Mission "Bring the Outdoors In" accomplished. And I have to say, I’m pretty darn pleased with myself.
