In honor of Earth Day, I thought I would touch on natural elements in decorating. Of course, plants are a beautiful way to bring nature into your decor…
I also love to pull things out of my pantry and use them to decorate. In the winter time, coffee beans. They smell delightful and cozy and they are eco-friendly. Layer them with creamy Northern beans for even more interest.
In the spring, my go-to item is a bag of green split peas.
Inexpensive! Publix will sometimes have them 2 for $1.
I filled a small square glass vase with peas, tucked in a votive candle and then wrapped one of my favorite ribbons around the outside.
Here I filled my Willow House Hawthorne Hurricane with split peas, then wedged a juice glass down inside to hold the water and flowers.
And they secure a large pillar in my Coronado Stone Pedestal’s glass cylinder. Perfect pop of color here.
And I can’t resist showing you my sweet bunnies with the amazing birch texture.
They join me every spring, bringing nature’s look and textures into my decor. Speaking of nature’s textures, check out a few others on the Ballard’s website.
What natural elements do you use in decorating?
Have a blessed Easter weekend with your families, everyone. 🙂
Peas is a neat idea! My mind usually doesn't go to food when it comes to decorating. Of course I love to use shells and driftwood from the beach!
Have a wonderful Easter!!
