DIY by Angela Moller

 

Learning to design interesting vignettes using everyday items from your cabinets not only exercises your creative muscles but also opens the door to all kinds of interesting possibilities. This sweet spring vignette of simple home goods becomes a fresh centerpiece or accent for a hall table. A little scavenging, a little upcycling and a little creativity are all it takes to add a breath of fresh air to your home.

 

What you will need:

Base item (tray, platter, placemat, etc.)

Seasonal accent (plastic eggs, bunny figurine, etc.)

Container (bowl, dish, pail)

Books

Vase or jar

Greenery or florals

Chalk paint

Paintbrush
