Feathers, Nests, and Eggs

 

The weather here in New Orleans has been warm, and the sun is shining yet again after a week of clouds and rain.

I am getting antsy to start adding spring-ish decor to my home. My home does not lend itself to many pastels of spring, so instead I like to add natural elements to much of my decor.

Recently, I headed down Magazine Street to AKA Stella Gray for some inspiration and retail therapy. The shop has the greatest vignettes of natural elements. Their displays are breathtaking. I will be back to share more from this Magazine Street gem.

During my retail therapy, I purchased various nests, feathers, and eggs to be used in glass cloches and display boxes.

On my parlor side table, I created an arrangement of fancy feathers, a nest, robin’s eggs, and vintage egg prints which I rolled up for the display.

On the coffee table (bench), the glass box holds a nest filled with straw and papier mache’ speckled eggs. Small feathers add to the natural touch.

I even added a bunch of smaller feathers to a biscuit barrel on the den coffee table. It looks great next to my collection of turtle shells.

Pheasant feathers in the dining room continues the theme of the season.

Natural Spring, y’all!

  4. I love all of the natural items you found and how you're using them under glass. I prefer the natural look over the pastel kinds too.
