Spring Living Room

March 16, 2022 by thevettelfarm

    Topiaries | Moss Bunnies | Butterflies | Bust Planter | Moss Ball | Moss Bunnies Set of 3 | Garland | Birch Cloche | Rug | Tulips Spring was in the air today, it was 65 degrees in North Dakota! Our family room is decked to the nines in bright springtime tones and lush greenery, I mean faux greenery. For our mantle this year I decided to do a "moss" theme inspired by all the fun moss bunnies I have been finding lately. We got a new rug in our living room space and I think this is my all time favorite! The colors are just perfect, neutral but a faint hint of green.

These lamps would be entirely perfect on their own as lamps, but if you aren't in the market for lamps, they can make the perfect cloche base or even pair of candle holders.

The Vintage Hunt – March Edition

March 17, 2021 by thevettelfarm

March has flown by! March for many is a time to start thinking about Spring, but for us North Dakotans Spring is oftentimes still a few weeks away! Nonetheless, I still start to dream about spring by adding in fun elements of spring decor. And let's not forget the great holiday of St. Patrick's Day! I am very Irish, so this is often a holiday I don't forget! Here are a few items to add to your hunting list. I am patiently counting down the days until I get to start my garage sale sprees and flea market trips! Garden Tools Garden tools have so much wonderful character. Just the sight of them gets me excited for the blooming garden on the horizon. I love to bring these tools inside ...

I went to a garage sale yesterday that had SO MANY I went to a garage sale yesterday that had SO MANY vintage 80s toys, many of which were toys I had as a little girl. It almost brought tears to my eyes, nostalgia just works that way I think. ❤️
