I’m excited to participate in another fun blog hop organized by the talented and inspiring Amber of Follow The Yellow Brick Home . Her hops bring together so many talented bloggers and I am honored to be a part of this one showcasing green decor ideas for Spring.
If you are coming over from Thistle Key Lane, welcome! Don’t you just love Michelle’s style? You will want to return to her blog if it’s new to you and spend lots of time in her posts! Now I’m excited to have you join me at Camp Paradise, our lakeside log cabin home.
We are close to hitting 100 inches of snow here in The Northwoods of Wisconsin this year!! After a very snow start to accumulations February made up for it! Even though it will still look like winter outside for quite a while, Spring is making it’s way indoors with bright colors and fresh flowers. One of my favorite colors to bring out for Spring is green. And I have lots of fun vintage green pieces to use.
This spot above our entryway cubbies is a favorite place for me to decorate and add seasonal touches. For Spring I brought in a vintage green metal picnic basket. It was a special gift from a sweet friend who loves all the same things I do! The wicker picnic basket was also a gift from a friend. Other items in the vignette:
Faux Florals from Hobby Lobby
It’s So Good to Be Home sign from Hobby Lobby
Up North sign from White Arrows Home the Shop.
For Spring on my mantel I wanted to use my vintage green vases. So I filled them with faux florals, tucked birds near the grapevine wreaths and twisted in garlands of bird nest.

I was so lucky to find three vintage camp stools in the same striped pattern on different occasions in different stores! I love collecting McCoy pottery. These sweet little yellow pots make perfect spring bookends for my green vintage books. I just added a faux boxwood ball to each one as filler. The little bird is a Hobby Lobby find.
I love finding vintage books with outdoor titles.
This leather chair had to come home from the antique store years ago when I found it. It reminded me so much of my Grandfather’s chair when I was growing up. I used to sit with him when I was visiting. In the evenings after work he would have a few Charles Pretzels. I found this tin and it was so excited to put it next to the chair! Such sweet memories! A green vase from my collection adds the perfect touch of Spring on the side table.
I used my green metal picnic basket along with a green and other bright colored thermos to make a fund spring lemonade station! See more of my vintage green decor from last year in this post.
There is a full link list below for all who are participating in the tour. If you are reading in order then your next stop is at my friend Larissa’s Welch House 1900. You will love her beautiful home and collections!

Adorable. I just love the camp stools and those book titles. So perfect for your home. I hope the snow starts to melt soon. 100 inches. I can’t even imagine.
Oh my, that is a lot of snow, so glad to not live in the cold anymore. Love your pretty green and that picnic basket is such a treasure and fun gift from your friend. Great tour with pretty greens.
Kristin, you always have the best mantel decorations. Love the wreaths and the bird nests. So perfect! Stay warm my friend!
When I think of how much snow you have had this year it amazes me. The midwest has gotten hit very hard this year.
You’re green touches look very warm and cozy. A wonderful collection of books too.
Hope spring arrives soon for you.

I just have to comment on your green books. I noticed that you have one of my very favorite reads The Greenbay Tree. I read it in high school and absolutely loved it. Want a good read?
How fun to know you read and loved that book!! It is one of my goals to read all my old books and you just moved The Green Bay Tree to the top of my list!!
Your collection of green books is wonderful, Kristin! I always enjoy visiting your cozy cabin! Happy to be joining you on the hop today! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
This is all so pretty, Kristin! I love your collection of green books!

Thanks so much Laura! All this green makes me so happy!
Your collections are so fun and perfect for Spring. Love the simple mantel too. It’s all so happy looking!
Thanks so much Cindy!! So fun to tour with you!
A collection of grapevine wreaths is a great way to fill your mantle space for spring, Kristin! Love how you tucked in nests, eggs and birds, too. And yes…we’re going to have to fake spring indoors for quite a while this year:( Probably why I need so much green right now…to balance all the white stuff! Always enjoy hopping with you!
I so agree! The green is so cheerful right now!! Thank you so much Lora!
I love all your spring collections in your signature rustic cabin style! I always love seeing all the lovely vignettes you style. So happy to be hopping with you!

It has been a crazy winter!! Thanks so much for the sweet comments Shelley! So fun to tour together!
Kristin your mantel is styled so perfectly for early spring. I love the bird nest garland woven through the grapevine wreaths.
Your books collections are always delightful!
How perfect to find the Charles pretzels to place beside the leather chair to evoke happy memories. The beautiful green vase with yellow roses is a perfect nod to warmer days ahead.
Thank you so much for sharin’ your green decor with us. Happy almost spring!
Thanks so much for organizing another inspirational tour! These are always so much fun! Thanks for your sweet compliments!! Cheers to Spring!
Kristin,
Your vintage greens are perfect for your woodsy home. I probably read that Bobbsey Twins book when I was growing up. That series was one of my favorites, and my mother would have at least one or two in my presents from Santa each Christmas.
Judith
Love hearing that you got Bobbsey Twins for Christmas! So sweet! Love touring with you!
It is still pretty wintery out in my neck of the woods and we have not put out the Spring décor yet. I am thinking I’ll start with the porch. I love your book arrangement!
Thanks so much Sarah! We still have a lot of winter too. Not all my winter decor will go away, but it is refreshing to bring in some greens! Have a great day! Thanks for the book love!!! 🙂
I always love seeing how you incorporate vintage into your decor. The amount of snow that you guys have received this year is crazy! Send some my way!
Thanks so much Paula! I feel the same about your home! It has been a crazy winter!
Kristin, your vintage items are wonderful. I love the memories you have attached to each one. How you have mixed them is wonderful. I’ll never been to Wiscnsin, but I would love to see you pretty log cabin ~ in the summer!!
Thanks so much Carol. It is a beautiful place in the summer 😉 Thanks for your sweet compliment!
100 inches of snow!!!
Your home is always so fun. My favorite on this top is your great collection of green books.
Thanks so much Carol. It has been quiet the winter! It’s fun to pull in some refreshing spring colors! Fun to Hop with you!
I just love viewing your home. Your mantel is so lovely.
The camp stools were a fabulous find! I also love your collection of green books. I have a weakness for old books. Snowing all day here today. 🙂
hugs,
Jann
What cozy and beautiful decoration,so charming!Hugs!
I love everything about how you’ve spring-i-fied your home! Thermoses and old signs are so perfect for your rustic aesthetic, and those green books are fabulous! (I collect similar old books as well.) We had a leather chair very similar to yours when I was growing up and I loved it. kI remember it fondly:) Thans for sharing at Vintage Charm. xo Kathleen
