Welcome To The 55th Masterpiece Monday

I know it's still only January, but I've had Spring on my mind lately.  I've been busy with some Summer-turned-Autumn-turned Winter painting projects. I keep this vintage ice cream bucket on top of the fridge. Since I had to move it for now, I decided to make pre-Spring vignette for you.
 I'm also waiting to see my new narcissus bulbs bloom. They were were free, from Freecycle.org.
 I already had the stones and vases.
 I started them on Christmas Eve.

 Here they are sprouting on January 4th.

 Below is a picture I took today.
 The big paint project I'm tackling this weekend is painting the kitchen, finally.
 I love this wallpaper border, but it's looking a little dated so off it goes!
 It's hard to tell the paint color in my kitchen from these photo's. It's a nice tan color like most of my walls. But it's too dark for my kitchen, because there's a lack of natural light. The color makes my kitchen feel like a cave.
So, I'm painting it bright white! I can't wait! I'm hoping to have the kitchen reveal finished by next Monday.

I love the bulb project you're doing. I always want to do it and get busy and forget to get bulbs. I love the pretty color of the stones. Hope you'll have some photos of the blooms in all their glory. You really started your new year off with a great project. Look forward to seeing it finished.
Thanks for hosting.

I always mean to do narcissus but forget. We rescued a amaryllis today at Target and planted it tonight. I love them and I hate to see them trying to grow in a box! Silly me.

The bulbs are going to be so pretty! I planted some in a planter on my patio. Waiting to see how they will do!

Can't wait to see your kitchen reveal! Nothing like freshening things up a little! :)

Thanks for hosting!

You reminded me that I have some bulbs to do the same thing with. I love forcing bulbs. I usually plant paperwhites for the holidays but didn't get to that. I think we all need a little "real life" in our homes after all the bling of Christmas, to remind us that Spring is just around the corner.
