Spring Decorating Ideas: Bird House & Robin’s Eggs Vignette

Home Decor· Mantle & Tabletop· Spring

We have a table in the hallway that greets our visitors as soon as they come into the house. Originally, it was a gathering spot for keys and papers, but with the sunshine and springtime streaming in through the front door, I thought that it would be nice to decorate it a bit. Follow along as I give you a few spring decorating ideas to spruce up your space!

Spring-decorating-ideas-vignette-Crafts-Unleashed-1Spring Decorating Ideas for a Gorgeous Vignette.

Supplies needed to make your own weathered bird houses:

supply-list

  • Unpainted Wooden Bird Houses.
  • Americana Chalky Paint (I used Yesteryear, Whisper, Vintage and Everlasting White).
  • Paint Brushes.

I started by painting the bodies of the birdhouses in Vintage and Whisper. The roofs were painted in Yesteryear grey.

Once the paint had dried, I used the dry-brush technique (the same one I used in this post) with Everlasting white. It created a weathered effect but was still fairly subtle.

Spring-decorating-ideas-vignette-Crafts-Unleashed-11The two wooden bird houses sit in front of one of the apothecary jars. They’re a tiny bit weathered but still add some colour.

Spring-decorating-ideas-vignette-Crafts-Unleashed-6The girls and I painted these “robin’s eggs” using a clever little paint-flicking technique. Lila and Lucy were able to create their eggs with very little help.

  • Unpainted Wooden Eggs.
  • Americana Chalk Paint in Vintage Grey-Green.
  • Acrylic Paint in Cinnamon Brown.
  • Paint Brush with Bristles.
  • Bird’s Nest.
  • Spanish Moss.

Both girls had a great time painting their eggs.

Spring-decorating-ideas-vignette-Crafts-Unleashed-2-2We accepted that we would be getting paint on our fingers. Egg-painting is like that.

Spring-decorating-ideas-vignette-Crafts-Unleashed-3-2Once the paint had dried, we grabbed a bristled paint brush and dipped it into the brown acrylic paint, first dabbing it onto paper towel a time or two to remove any excess.

Then, we flicked our finger through the bristles in order to “splatter” brown paint onto the egg.

Once the girls realized that they were being encouraged to make a mess, the egg-painting was a hoot!

Spring-decorating-ideas-vignette-Crafts-Unleashed-4-2They looked quite real!

The eggs sit nestled in apothecary jars, next to an antique mirror and a wreath stand holding a grapevine wreath with faux-succulents tucked into its vines.

The bunny is supposed to be outside in the garden, but he hasn’t quite made it outside yet. I don’t know if he ever will!

Spring-decorating-ideas-vignette-Crafts-Unleashed-2I’m quite happy with this springtime vignette sitting in the foyer of our house. It’s subtle, but still celebrates the season. I hope you enjoyed these spring decorating ideas I shared with you!

How do you decorate for Spring? I’d love even more spring decorating ideas!
