Decorating Dilemna Going On

I started putting the St Patrick's Day decorations away on St Patrick's Day and pulled out my Easter stuff...

Things are looking pretty and springy but I was stumped as to how to accessorize the top of the hutch in our dining room. I normally have it one way and it stays that way for a very long time but I decided to give it an update...

Here's what it looked like, some good stuff but yet kind of blah...

So I called on Brenda from Cozy Little House and ask her for help...

If you've never checked out her place, you're in for a treat - her home is so wonderful and sure to make you smile....she has a wonderful place...

Whenever I try to decorate the top of the hutch, I have to work around these light fixtures and cords...

(kind of dusty too!)

I use books to lift things up...and work around the electrical stuff...

well let me just show you...

I used quite a few books this time around...

I pulled out the vintage suitcase that I bought last year at a thrift store...still debating on whether I should paint it or not..

Probably get cracking on my banner this weekend...

I wanted to keep the bunny since I'm going for a spring/Easter vignette..

And the frame stays, love the Subway Art from

 Landee See, Landee Do....

Brenda suggested something green so I added a plant that needs to be up high so the cats don't chew on it...

and put the lantern on a candlestick that I got from Goodwill...

and my decorating dilemna is now solved!

Thank you Brenda!

Don't you just love my window hanging to the side...

just got it this weekend at Pier One!!
