Springtime Updates

I set out this morning to update a few things around the house for spring. The hutch was my main focus today. Added and removing and shifting things around took most of the morning but I like the end result very much.

Here are a couple of the items I updated. This is what I started with, a cheese dome from the thrift store.

I added the dome to a glass pedestal I picked up at Walmart from their Christmas section, added a berry wreath, a nest and a bird. I love the way it turned out. Sorry for the bad picture, it really looks much better in real life. Next I wanted to update one of my favorite birdhouses. Here is the before.
Here she is after a new roof in a lovely blue color.
It's a little hard to see in the first picture, but I roughed up the new roof color to make the old red color show through and absolutely love the results. Here is a close up - Love. It.
With the updates in place my hutch is now looking ready for spring and early summer. My hope it that this arrangement will work until July when I plan to update it again.
Are you wondering why the counter space is so bare? I watch a nephew that like to swipe things. So each item is place perfectly in the middle just barely out of harms way.
