Sideboard Switch Up


Hello friends.  Are you having a good week?  I've been busy with this and that.  I decided to switch up my sideboard the other day.  It had been sitting there looking the same old way for a few months and needed a little change.  I started by taking down the big white birdcage and painting that had been on top of it and replaced them with an old window that I had.


Then, when I was supposed to be shopping for a birthday present, I bought something for myself instead...these pretty white ranunculus.   I used an ironstone pitcher as a vase and figured some lemons would look nice with the flowers, since they would accentuate that one flower that's wide open with the big yellow center.  Lemons are my addiction.  I love everything about them - the way they look, the way they smell and the way they taste...especially in my other addiction...Diet Coke :)


See these cute little bowls?  After I saw them at Lara's I knew that I needed some too.  I have a bunch of other bigger bowls in the same shape so, of course, there had to be some little mini ones in the collection.  They make me think of French cafe au lait bowls, I think that's why I like them so much. 


Love these cutie pie marshmallows.  They're lemon-lime flavored and taste Mmm Mmm good.  I had one or two or ten.  I also got some that look like orange slices and some pink and white ones for my kids' Easter baskets.


There you are my lovelies.  Not a giant switch up but enough to keep things looking a little fresh around here.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend!  I'm wishing for warm weather and it sounds like it's gonna happen.

  3. What a coincidence! I just picked up some of the same little bowls today when shopping with my daughter. They are just the right shade of creamy white. The pie marshmallows look yummy!

  11. Your sideboard vignette looks absolutely stunning in that I can't get enough of whites a little pop of colour way!! I LOVE it, Tricia! Your ranunclus are beauties & such pretty natural light you have enhanced them with. Are those not the cutest little bowls for that price!!? I want a whole pile more. They remind me of French cafe, too! Now I want the big ones after seeing these pretty pics you have shared! I kind of like the blue ones also.. but I figured you can't go wrong with white. Lovely photos - fresh & springy simple!

  14. It looks lovely, Tricia. You are very creative and talented. My neighbor brought us over a whole bunch of lemons from his tree today and I've got them sitting in a pretty white bowl on our counter. They just brighten everything up and add such freshness!
