Spring Centerpiece Done with Graphic French Box

Good morning everyone.  
Even though it's still chilly and/or cold where many of you live we are beginning to see warmer temps causing my thoughts to turn to Spring this week. And with those thoughts I love to freshen up our decor by adding a few bright flowers in new ways. So today I am going to show you this little centerpiece I made from a thrifted wooden graphic French box I found and some milk jars I purchased at the Target dollar spot - love that place.

It's so bright and cheerful and has that added vintage feel that I love. It also brings just a bit of Spring into our home in a very simple way.  It was quite easy to make and put together as I will show you.

 First I started with three milk jars I picked up at the Target Dollar Spot some time back.  I simply painted them with Valspar's Cream Delight.  A very nice not too bright white I have been using a lot. 

This is after the first coat of paint and it took two to get the coverage I was looking for.

After it was totally dry I stenciled each bottle with a number.  I used some inexpensive stencils I found at Wal-Mart and Valspar's Black Chalkboard paint.  My favorite black paint right now.

Now I find it somewhat difficult to stencil on bottles and jars so I usually tape the stencil in place and trace it with a pencil. Then I use a fine liner paint brush and paint it in without the stencil.  You do not have to do it this way it is just so much easier for me to do.

After the stencils had dried I wrapped the top area of each bottle with some twine.  You can do as much or as little as you desire. I chose to do the neck area only.
  

This is the French graphic wooden box I found at the Salvation Army.  I knew it had to come home with me the minute I spied it.  It's French, it has graphics and it's has a vintage feel with a perfect finish.  What's not to love.

I placed the three milk jars in the box and then one lone faux yellow daisy in each jar.

Very simple, very easy and adds just the right amount of Spring to our home.

  

Makes me smile each time I pass it.  So bright and cheerful with that perfect vintage feel that I love.  Makes those dreary cold days yet to come just a little brighter.

Are you in the Spring mode yet?  Are you starting to add a bit of Spring to your home or are you waiting a bit longer?  Tell me all about it in the comments below.

Until next time enjoy creating something you love.
