Does anyone know who invented Daylight Savings Time?

I want to send them a thank you note.

I’m sitting here waiting for my fake tan to dry and using a gua sha tool to try and train my forehead and I still had time to completely weed the two front flower beds outside in the garden.

All thanks to that extra hour.

It’s amazing what can be accomplished with all those additional minutes.

Plenty of time to use for spring decorating in the kitchen.

And my spring kitchen decorating was inspired by something I discovered at Walmart for under $20. I literally blinked when I saw the price and thought I still had the Caribbean sun in my eyes.

It hopped into my cart and it arrived on Tuesday and I spent the afternoon adding little spring sunshine to the kitchen.

And now the kitchen looks like this.

A cozy and elegant kitchen featuring a blue island with a marble countertop, white wooden stools, a chic pendant light, and open shelving stocked with dishes in the background.

And this.

An elegant and neatly organized open shelf displaying a variety of white dishware and serving pieces, accompanied by decorative plants and a classic table lamp, creating a cozy and welcoming kitchen atmosphere.

And this.

1. Add a spring pillow

And look at this little corner now.

I just updated it with my new find.

See those embroidered lavender pillows? Aren’t they the cutest?

(Edited to add—you all sold out this pillow cover in under an hour. I found some similar embroidered pillow covers to try and be helpful. You can see them here.)

(total aside: can you see where I added one of the artist houses to the FARM letters my brother made).

A decorative cushion with a botanical pattern and tassels on a white shelf.

Elegant embroidery featuring white and blue flowers with intricate brown stems on a textured fabric, perfect for spring kitchen decor.

Two decorative throw pillows with floral patterns and tassel corners, resting elegantly on a white bench.

Look at those beautiful embroidered branches with tiny white embroidered flowers—absolute perfection.

The description says lavender, but I’m calling it a thistle.

If I look at it and squint?

Sigh.

It looks just like a thistle branch to me.

What do you think?

(Edited to add—you all sold out this pillow cover in under an hour. I found some similar embroidered pillow covers to try and be helpful. You can see them here.)

A serene kitchen scene with a clean, white aesthetic, featuring a modern faucet and three potted plants basking in the natural light from a large window on the kitchen island.

2. Add topiaries to a window

I added a row of topiaries to the kitchen window.

Here’s a quick topiary tip.

If you have a pot that doesn’t match your decor? Wrap the base in paper cut from a paper grocery bag.

3. Use a basket to decorate the island

I found this basket years ago at Hobby Lobby.

I’ve searched and searched over hill and over dale to try to find one that’s similar and I’ve never been able to find another one.

It’s the perfect base to decorate with for spring. You could also use a large tray or even an oversized piece of wood as a base, too.

A cozy interior scene with a rustic wooden table topped with a marble surface, elegantly decorated with a woven basket containing an assortment of green plants and flowers adding a touch of nature, under the warm glow of a classic chandelier with crystal accents.

4. Decorate with greenery

I used things I collected over the years to create the display, but I was able to link a few things in case you want to create a similar look. You may have tons of things in your spring decorating closet that you can use already–if so–just use this for inspiration.

  • these boxwood spheres
  • this set of mini topiaries
  • stacks of books
  • I covered the books with wood paper (similar found here)
  • this set of topiaries (these are 14.5″ tall)
  • a bird’s nest with eggs (similar found here)
  • faux tree to anchor the display (similar found here)

5. Use books for height

I put the basket flat on the center of the kitchen island.

Then I placed a large stack of books in the center (the gray striped book actually opens up—so I use it for storage, too).

Next, I placed another smaller stack of books on the right side.

Books are the perfect way to layer in pieces in your display.

6. Decorate with topiaries

I’ve made my own topiaries before (you can see how I DIY’d a topiary with a coat hanger here).

I scattered my topiaries around the books and inside the basket.

I added a little mini topiary in front of the stack of books.

Then I added this $3.97 boxwood sphere in front of the topiaries. The key is just to keep fussing until it makes you happy. I still rearrange it sometimes when I walk by.

A line of neatly trimmed topiary plants in terracotta pots displayed on a wooden shelf against a chalkboard background, with botanical illustrations hanging above.

A hanging educational chart showcasing various bird eggs, a nest with eggs, and two bird species, with small decorative topiary bushes lined up below it.

7. Add vintage spring posters

Then I added a few more bits of spring.

This nest poster is under $10.

You can see a super similar version here.

8. Add vintage or handmade pieces

Remember the story of the house that an artist created that’s a miniature of my house?

I couldn’t put the houses away for Christmas and I added most of them to the hutch in the family room.

But this house? It’s special. I added it to a tiny pedestal and added it to the kitchen island.

Elegant white wooden chairs with woven rattan seats, showcasing the beauty of classic home design details, perfect for how to decorate a kitchen island.

9. Add woven textures for spring

I love these kitchen stools at the end of the kitchen island.

They have a rustic woven seat and great detailing on the legs.

The stools look so high-end, but they are actually really affordable.

You can see them here.

An elegant and neatly organized open shelf displaying a variety of white dishware and serving pieces, accompanied by decorative plants and a classic table lamp, creating a cozy and welcoming kitchen atmosphere.

A neatly arranged home interior with a collection of decorative items, including a white table lamp, porcelain dishware, a small potted plant with yellow flowers, and a stack of books arranged on a white-painted wooden hutch.

10. Add flowers

Nothing says spring like flowers.

I got these at Trader Joe’s (thank you so much for all the Trader Joe’s tips this weekend—I’m making my way through the list).

The base came wrapped in paper and I think it’s such a clever idea for spring pots.

You can see tons of other ideas for creative flower containers here.

11. Faux marble dish drying mat

My last tip is kind of spring decor and kind of super-extra-helpful and useful.

Our dishwasher broke several months ago. It’s so expensive to fix, so I started washing dishes by hand. We don’t really have a ton of dishes and I discovered I actually like doing the dishes by hand and not having to dread emptying the dishwasher all the time.

I was using a towel on the counter, but the towel would get wet and the dishes wouldn’t really dry that well if I just left them on the counter.

And then?

I found the MOST BRILLIANT OF SOLUTIONS.

This Panutta stone dish drying mat that looks like marble. It’s truly a miracle worker. The dishes dry super fast because the stone is extra absorbent and the stone sits on these little silicone feet so your counter doesn’t get moldy and it looks so pretty just sitting on the counter. It’s such a good size to hold tons of dishes when they are drying. I have marble countertops already so it just blends in.

You can see the stone here.

A bright, welcoming kitchen featuring white subway tiles, stainless steel appliances, and a contrasting island with gray cabinetry and a marble countertop, adorned with a woven basket and green plants, illuminated by natural light from the window.

This kitchen just makes me so happy.

Almost as happy as knowing that there’s an extra hour of sunlight just waiting to be celebrated.

And my house and I?

We have big plans for those extra 60 minutes.

As soon as my spray tan dries.
