Easter In Black

I'm not brave enough to paint

the walls black, but I have been

adding a lot of black accents.

When I decided to create an

Easter vignette recently I used

black, brown and a little mix

of green.

I'll admit it's not my usual mix

of colors for Easter, but it
makes me happy in a sort of
Adam's Family way.

I started with an old lantern. It was

red, so I slopped on some black chalk

paint. You can still see a little red in

some of the cracks. The paint was

Amy Howard's One-Step in black.

It didn't have the glass chimney

when I bought it at a garage

sale years ago, but that's OK

with me as it works better

without it for decorating.

I had the nest on hand along

with this candle ring...

The two together make a perfectly

blingy nest for one of these birds.

The other bird got this softer nest...

I added an old Christmas bow

to perk it up a bit.

I'm going to add a cloche next
to cover it, and then find a

permanent place for it.

Thanks for stopping by!
