I have been inspired by the fresh greens that have sprung up in my front garden this season......
to paint this little cupboard a very vivid shade.
It is in the hallway just outside the kitchen. A useful little cupboard for spare light bulbs and other bits and bobs!
I bought this vintage bird cage from Louise recently. It is a gorgeous aqua green and it stands in our Laundry room. I thought I may line the bottom in vintage wallpaper and display some of my fairy dolls inside.
I found the 'N' for Nostalgia whilst on holiday in Devon a few years ago.
Spring fever has even crept into my crafting this week too....
Your garden is beautiful! We still have snow but things are sprouting.Love all your spring greens!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little garden! The snow is melting here but we are still far from doing any gardening.
ReplyDeleteNot to much around here yet that says spring, I maybe hear birds again, thats about it.
ReplyDeleteYes your green things are pretty, are you finished in your kitchen now?
I was playing around with all my thrift store things from yesterday and finding a home for them. I took pictures of course. Oh no! I think tomorrow is yet another thrift store day, I usually go right after I drop my daughter off at work, and yep, she works tomorrow. So see its not my fault.

Beautiful, beautiful flowers and I love the cupboard!! Spring is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Niki, that green is lovely - is it 'that' green?! Isn't it wonderful to see everything in the garden coming to life? We have been spoilt with this lovely weather and I hear snow is on the way...!
ReplyDeleteKeep warm!

i am very partial to green! i love spring! it has arrived early here in so cal.
ReplyDeleteLovely inspiration, Niki! I am rather partial to your cupboard! And I love the old mirror in it. Putting your dolls in that vintage birdcage sounds like a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteHi Niki
ReplyDeleteGreen AND yellow? What's happening to you?!!!
Yes, the oils on glass are mounted on velvet plaques. They'll be going to Shepton!
I love the green cabinet and the bird cage is wonderful from Louise. I'm not totally comfortable about the fairies behind bars,I think they are quite well behaved and should have a reprieve.

I really love your vintage bird cage. And the curtain in your prewius post are adorable, I love the colours.
ReplyDeleteThe little cupboard looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice colour to compliment what looks like Carleton Ware on the top of it. Very spring like indeed..!
love your flower garden =) i think your fairy dolls (one of those is on my "wish" list, one of these days...) would look adorable on vintage paper lining your yummy green bird cage. debbie
ReplyDeleteLove the birdcage! Also, what are those two sweet little jars with the roses, to the right in the pic with the "N"? Those are beautiful!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love green, seems to be my favourite colourat the moment. I like that little cupboard of yours.
ReplyDeletePenny.

Love the greens and the little cupboard. Still anxiously waiting Spring. Got a slight feel of it a few days ago with record high temperatures but I'm afraid it’s back to the cold for a little longer. I'll just enjoy looking at your blog and others who are having spring earlier.Everything is just beautiful in your home Niki!
ReplyDeleteLuv Annabelle
Your spring fever is very inspiring, Niki! Your front garden looks so pretty and welcoming with all those flowers!
ReplyDeleteFabulous garden and I adore the spring green you painted the cabinet, as well as the birdcage. What a find!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beautiful beautiful! You have such an inspirational blog!!! Thanks for all the gorgeous pics, and your little dolls are so enchanting!
ReplyDeleteI love that green. Your house is really coming alive for Spring. It looks so lovely. Makes me want to get out the paint tin. Mary.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love it all, love the syle, the colors. They are perfect.

Lovely to see spring when it's trying to snow here. I love the green of the cabinet, and I'm fascinated by the two little pots with metal tops (they look a little like egg coddlers but seem to big??) on the shelf about 3 pictures down. Now, that's the way to live!
ReplyDeleteI can certainly see why you need the millinery flower from shabby in the city...looks like things are coming along.
ReplyDeleteI feel so at home here...be sure to stay tuned to my ever changing ebay site on my side bar...closing out an estate for a friend and later today listing some wonderful treasure i.e. red transfer
Each of your photos is full of spring!
ReplyDeleteI love the little cupboard in the hallway. It looks perfectly english for me, because it reminds me of the nice little cottage we rented in Kent last june.
Have a nice weekend, kind regards, Monika
Everything is looking lovely at Stone House, just wanted to stop by and thankyou for your well wishes.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures,very inspiring. The cupboard looks great, I'm a cream and white paint convert... but might have to consider a change of palette! BTW, Matalan are selling a vintage style white birdcage at the moment, £15 I think, for those of us who can't find a true vintage one!
ReplyDeleteLove the green of that cabinet. I have a real love of the colour at the moment. Love how you have put your Carlton Ware on it.
ReplyDeleteAh lovely spring greens are doing such good for the soul! Thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures Niki, you know that I always love to see pictures of your garden too! Hugs Carol xox
ReplyDeleteLove your green cabinet! And your gardens! And, well...everything else, too! Lol!
ReplyDeleteLove that special green of spring and how you are bringing it indoors. And putting your fairies in the birdcage ~ what a fun way to display them!
