Here’s my interpretation of this picture with items I had around my home. I did not spend a dime to mimic this look. I simply used what I had.

As I start at the left of the BHG photo the first combo I notice is the big chunky wood table with a large glass lamp. I already had the square wicker trunk in this corner. I converted my large blue vase into a faux lamp. Not a bad start!

My eye was next drawn to the large blue vase with sticks. My blue vase isn’t quite as big, but it does mimic the look. I added a few pussy willow branches to complete the look. Notice how I switched up the tables with sofa and chair. These combos just made more sense in the overall layout of my room.

Working our way down to the coffee table, I removed my large ottoman and replace with a glass top table. I stacked a couple of books and a blue-gray platter filled with river rocks and a candle. This is a little bit of a departure from the inspiration but still follows the overall aesthetic.

A glass hurricane filled with bright green reindeer moss and lilac bulbs has a similar feel to the fresh cut flowers in the inspiration table. I also mimicked the layered artwork on one wall. I’m still looking for the perfect piece to balance out the other corner as in the inspiration.

To complete the layering, I added a cozy throw on the end of the sofa with a few textured pillows. For zero dollars spent and an hour or so on a sunny Sunday afternoon I think this is a nice borrowed style. Of course my den will not stay like this long . As DH says, “in our home it’s never the same day twice!”Where are you finding your spring inspiration?
