Awe (Un)Inspiring

The entryway table in my home has gone through many transformations in the past few months.  For my daughter's birthday it looked like this...


For New Years it looked like this...


And for Valentine's Day this...

But as of Friday morning it looked like this...


Blagh.  And that is exactly how I felt about it too.  Uninspired by the items I was finding around the house.  Unsure if it was to soon to bring in more Spring-ish colors.  Unhappy with the idea of decorating for the actual weather outside...snow.  And not to mention Under-funded since we had to replace our water heater unexpectedly on Monday.  Basically Awe Uninspired

But I did have a few things going for me.  Numero Uno, I was happy with my recent mantle redo which I was hoping could guide me in the right direction. 


And Number Two, a $10 gift card to Michael's, a 50% off Michael's coupon and $10 worth of returns.  So the question was could I make this happen and not spend any money?!?!

And the answer was YES!  $10 gift card, 50% off and $10 in cash exactly covered what I needed to create this...

...my touch of Spring Un Inspiration. 


Now stay tuned later in the week for all the details on how I created the tray - for only $6.99!
