MacKenzie - Childs Inspired Easter Eggs

Thank you Marty for featuring the eggs this week!! I am so flattered!!

Make sure to visit Marty at A Stroll a Thru Life and while you are there check out her gorgeous home decor! 

Thank you again Marty!!

I think I might have a problem...or a condition. Maybe it's a syndrome, whatever it is I got it bad!!

I can't stop MacKenzie - Child-ing everything!

I just want to black and white check anything I can get my hands on!!

So ta-da here is my latest MCP (MacKenzie - Childs Project)

May I present:

the EASTER EGGS

You know I can hear what you're thinking...yes I am a bit or even totally crazy!!

Crazy about MC!!

Since I don't have any little tykes around for Easter, I felt it was OK to go with a more mature Easter egg design this year.

 It was my turn to pick the colors! Although I do have to say, my boys would have been perfectly happy to paint their Easter eggs black.....I vaguely remember a camouflage colored egg or two.

I haven't dug out my Easter decorations, so these little eggs don't have a basket yet.

Are you reading my mind???? Do you think there is a MC basket project waiting to be created???

Probably......

In the photo below you can see that I did have these little sour cream containers, yes I said sour cream containers, already decorated for Easter. 

I just painted them white. 

Using black paper I cut out the word Easter and a flourish on the Silhouette Cameo.

Glued them to the container.

Then I dry brushed some white paint over the letters and the flourish.

I finished them off by gluing some twine to the containers.

Pretty simple, this would be a fun project for kids too.

Eggs for days!

In the photo below is the cloche where the eggs ended up for now....you know I still have a basket idea swirling around in my brain!

I liked the eggs in the birdcage below too, but after a family vote the cloche won!

These were the fake eggs I used for this project. They are so cool and unbreakable, I dropped them dozens of times! They have a great matte finish ready for paint or dye.

Thank you for visiting today! 

If you don't want to miss any of my future projects, I mean that MC inspired basket could happen...then

Spring Coffee Table

Are you looking for some spring decorating ideas?

I've got some simple inspiration for you today.

Do you remember this fence board box my husband made?

I blogged about it in January. Originally I went for a winter white theme.

For spring I added some green.

I also added some white silk roses and tulips.

Then I tucked some bright green moss into the box too.

Nothing says springtime like a little birdie!

I am still digging my rusty chain garland from Real Deals!!

Paula picked up these cool grapevine globes for me at the floral supply shop.

I put them on the candlesticks and tucked some of the moss under them.

Look at the glare Dexter is giving me!! I think that is his "let's wrap up this photo session and get to the dog park ASAP " look!!

You can tell who rules the roost at our house!

Awww Dexterdoodle Momma is done and ready to go outside and enjoy some blue skies!!

Thank you for stopping by MarvinsDaughters today and checking out my spring coffee table.

Paula's Spring Porch - Arrow Chalkboard

Do you love cool one of a kind outdoor decor?

Then you are at the right place.

Today I am sharing Paula's chalkboard. Paula is one of my dearest friends. She has a great positive attitude and it is reflected in every area of her life, her fashion sense, her home decor and her yard.

She picked up this chalkboard at Real Deals in Reno. One of the nice ladies that works there wrote the phrase on it for Paula. It is a true work of chalkboard art! She did a great job, I love how she used  different colors of chalk.

The cool arrow shape of this chalkboard makes it so unique.

I think "arrows" are a new trend in decorating, Paula is leading the way...just follow the arrows!!

What unique decor direction are you heading towards?

Thank you Paula for letting me share your chalkboard arrow.

It's so cute, everyone should see it!

Paula's Spring Porch - Vintage Bike

Spring is here! Wake up winter hibernation is over!

 It's time to put some blossoms in a basket!

This spring Paula has the perfect basket for her blooms on this vintage bike.

This bike is no "spring chicken" but it definitely keeps getting better with age.

All original parts on this baby!

I am sure there were many springtime memories made on this 'cycle!

 This bike has earned some time relaxing on the porch....quietly enjoying another spring.

Since we are still having chilly nights, Paula "planted" some hardy metal flowers for early spring. 

They are early bloomers....

Below is a close up of one of the mini watering cans dangling from a mini Shepard's hook.

More early bloomers!

Wow cool chalkboard you are thinking. Check back for my next post when I will be featuring it.

Below a sneaky peak from across the street.

 One of the many things I love about Paula's place are her carriage house garage doors. They are absolutely charming! Check them out in the photo below.

Thanks for having us over Paula!! We love your sweet Spring porch! 

Paula's place is so adorable and welcoming. Just the kind of home you want to visit!
