It’s All In The Details (part 3 of 4)

http://www.thezhush.blogspot.com

After the success of last week’s post, (where I added a big bright bunch of Forsythia branches along with a vase from Target’s Threshold collection to our front entry) I decided to bring some more spring flowers into our home. I instantly fell for the clean lines and design of these Threshold Stoneware Pitchers at Target, and knew they would make a great addition to my collection of white stoneware. These pitchers worked beautifully in my dining room, and along with some fresh tulips, made a lovely spring vignette. Once the flowers started to wilt, I decided to move the pitchers into the master bath, where they sit now. I’d been looking to add to an existing collection in this room, and I think these two pieces fit the space perfectly. Since I tend to move things around a lot, I love to find home decor accents that work in a variety of different ways and settings, just like these pitchers do.

Progress On Our Florida House

Before and After: Our staircase bannister

 

I’ve finally sorted through the majority of the zillion images that I took of our Florida place. 

This most recent trip was our first time seeing our new staircase (and bathroom) in person, and it did not disappoint! 

We are so happy with the way everything came out and how it literally transformed the whole space.

The layout of this house is wide open and basically built around the stairs, so getting this element right was pretty crucial. 

I searched everywhere for the “before” image of all the black iron railings and I’m thrilled to have finally found it (from two years ago when we first closed on the house). 

Originally, we thought we could get by with just painting the railings white, but that ended up not really working. 

Once I saw how great the new rail looked, I re-zhushed the console in this photo to work better with the space. 

We also got some dining room pieces delivered and happily that space is finally coming together as well. 

Next week I’ll post a few more updates on some smaller projects we’re working on down there.

Further to last week’s post, where Target contacted me about shopping it’s new products in the Threshold home collection, I’m excited to share this week’s find with you. Having had enough of this cold, gray winter and all the extreme super storms that came along with it, I literally can not wait to welcome spring into my home. When I spied this over sized vase at Target, I knew right away that it would make a perfect addition to my foyer, adding just the right amount of height and drama that was needed on this table top vignette. It still feels like winter here, but I was able to find these Forsythia branches at my local supermarket. Not only are they the perfect height and color for the space and new vase, but Forsythias are of course renowned for ushering in spring. I love how the foyer looks now. One little change made such a positive impact on the whole space.
