Sprucing Up For Spring



This post is all Pam's fault.  First, she showed us how to plant grass for indoor decorating and made me want some too.




We planted rye grass but Pam's was wheat grass.  The blade on the wheat grass seems thicker and I'll probably try that one next time.  


Then, she got all "Spring-y" with her mantle and made me want to brighten up my mantle, too.  I usually don't switch up the mantle much during the year other that for Fall and Christmas, but I had to do something with all of that grass I planted!












After all of my grass was growing well I decided I wanted some for the kitchen table, too.  I used a few plastic bowls in my wooden dough bowl and am hoping that the spanish moss will disguise the plastic once the grass is grown.  






Have you every planted grass for a table arrangement or indoor decor?  You still have time if you want some for your Easter table!  Ours was sprouting within 3-4 days and the kids have already joyfully given it a few haircuts. 
 (I have no children destined to be hair dressers in my family...
maybe military hair stylists though...they can knock out a great flat-top!)

  2. They look totally fabulous! The most we've ever done was make our own grass head guys to teach my daughter about how things grow, but now I want some of my own decorative grasses! I was thinking about picking up daffodils and tulips for our spring mantel, but now I just want grass. Thanks for the inspiration!

  4. Your grass came up great - so full! I planted last week and it's coming in kind of crazy so far. My kids are dying to give the pots hair cuts! So fun. Your house looks so pretty; do I always say that? I want to move in with you :)

  11. LOVE, love this idea. Usually, I plant this huge white planter with grass and nestle dyed eggs onto it for a centerpiece. I think I still have time. :) Thank you so much for linking to my Egg-xellent Spring Party. Blessings, Barb

  12. LOVE the look of the grass in the white containers. Once it's sprouted, how much water and sunlight does the grass need?

    1. Hi Jaime, thank you so much!! The mirror was from Pier One, but I don't believe they carry it anymore. This one is similar if not the same...
