If you are coming over from Paula’s beautiful blog, Sweet Pea welcome to Camp Paradise!
Camp Paradise is our lakeside log cabin home in The Northwoods of Wisconsin where my family lives surrounded by pine and birch forests on the shores of a gin clear lake. White Arrow Signs point your way throughout our community. The nostalgic signs inspired my blog name.
Our inspiration photo for this February Pinterest challenge was from Sincerely, Marie Designs. If you don’t already follow Amanda, you will love her blog. You see her each week guest hosting Welcome Home Saturday with me!
If you look back at the beautiful inspiration photo, I knew I wanted to use:
- a basket with florals of greens and whites
- stacks of books
- candleholders with wicker or wood accents
- birds
- white dishes
- a cloche
I decorated our antique buffet sideboard that sits on the wall outside our kitchen and dining room. It was the first antique Brian and I bought together.
A Basket with Florals of Greens and Whites
One of my favorite antique items to restyle for the season is my Hawkeye basket. I love it’s size, it’s woven sides and it’s wood handles.
Stacks of Books
Candleholders with Wicker or Wood Accents
I bought these candleholders a few years ago at Walmart and love using them from Spring – Summer.
Birds
I found these ceramic birds at Hobby Lobby and love pulling them out each Spring. I love that there’s a bigger “momma” and her babies.
White Dishes
I love using and collecting Buffalo China restaurant dishes. They are thick and durable and great for every day use. They make me think of the dishes that would have been used at the resorts here in The Northwoods when families would have come up to stay on The American Plan. Tourists would sleep in little cabins and dine on three meals a day in the resort dining hall.
These dishes were made by an American company named Buffalo China in Buffalo, New York. Founded about 1901, they started manufacturing commercial porcelain dinnerware for restaurants and institutions in the1920s and 1930s.
Cloche
I love using things I have around the house in new ways. I made a cloche out of an upside down Dollar Tree vase. I put a faux succulent inside and set it on a restaurant ware white bowl with green trim. I placed the cloche dish on top of a few favorite books: Cabinology and

Your home is always such a delight to see. Love that console and your basket of flowers is stunning. Great take on the inspiration picture.

This is such a beautiful spring vignette Kristin. I especially love the Hawkeye basket. Your ceramic bird family is just the best! Great job sweet friend.

You did a great job with putting your twist on the inspo photo, Kristin! Everything looks lovely… and the link photos look like an IG account, with everyone’s colors coordinating this month! LOL!
Thanks Julie!
I spy a piece of restaurant-ware; love it! And love that beautiful buffet you staged this whole pretty scene on; wow! Starting to see spring inside is nice, when there’s still plenty of white outside the window!
I love restaurant-ware and I agree, it’s fun when we have our long midwest winters to see Spring inside!
I must agree the Hawkeye basket is perfect for your spring vignette and the sideboard is a real beauty! I always enjoy reading the titles of your books. I bet the one about fish tales is a hoot!
I love using that basket all year round! Thanks Michelle!
I always love seeing how you decorate for the season, Kristen! Your buffet looks lovely decked out for spring. I’ve never heard of a Hawkeye basket and will be looking it up today. The florals that you used in yours are perfect for this time of year. Looking forward to catching up on your podcast as well!
Thanks so much Paula!
Kristen, wow! Your big basket is stunning!!! I have a bunch of baskets and as my mother thought, “There’s always room for more!” Your console table could come live at my house anytime!!! It is beautiful, too, and looks great with everything you’ve decorated on top. 🙂 Love the textures and the cabin look… Our last family home where we were all together as kids was a pecky cedar stacked log home and I loved it!!!
Hope spring arrives for you soon and yes, we were freezing down here in TExas last week,
Hugs,
Barb 🙂
Thanks so much Barbara! Happy Early Spring!
That basket caught my eye right away, I love all the greenery and flowers you chose to fill it with. The whole vignette is perfect for early spring with pops of green and the little birds. Loving that artwork too. It’s all Very pretty!
Thanks Amber!!! I love the refresh of green!
I love your interpretation of the photo! Your basket is amazing and those little birds are so sweet!
