Green and White

 

IMG_0448

        This evening, after an afternoon of gathering supplies and looking through what I had, I wanted to add some touches of spring to the house.  I had green and white on my mind , and it wouldn’t leave.  So I began to play.

        I found some very affordable faux greenery stems and floral pieces, and I wanted to use these stone pieces.

        And so I started  playing.

        I originally planned to use a piece of the striped fabric to create a runner, but I didn’t want to cut it.  I kept the 4 yards in one piece to use as a tablecloth.

(Photography note:  Photos at night never work out too well for me.)

          In the entry I combined as many green things as I could find.

        I love mixing high and low like crystal and terracotta.

        And then I did something with the dining table.

        It never stops does it?

I LOVE the green and white, and I'm really lovin' that green majolica plate of yours. I don't blame you for not wanting to cut that great piece of material. Love your fuzzy rocks in your apothecary jar!
Hope you're having a good week,

Laura, I like the fact that you scrunched up that fabric instead of cutting it. It makes for a different textured look, plus like you said, you can re-use it whole. Love the green and white touches. Linda

Marie said...

White and green lokks so "springy". Happy WW.

What a great idea, I would not think of leaving the material in one piece, but you created and displayed it very nice...and it really did bring Spring in!~ Thanks for sharing!

I hate to cut fabric...even when it's bought for a project! Love the green...my favorite shade of green as a matter of fact.
