Urban Jungle Bloggers – March Challenge

I’ve enjoyed following the Urban Jungle Bloggers the past few months and couldn’t resist joining in on the fun this time.

The March styling challenge was in fact a true one for me because the subject is spring and/or Easter and argh over this side of the world, we’ve just moved into – autumn! So considering the seasons, I originally thought that Easter would be the more doable option for me but then my weekend turned out to be pretty jam packed and with very little time to get creative. So a spring (ish) plant vignette it is.

Yesterday I went for a little walk up the road to Three Lamps, Ponsonby in search of the colour of spring. There wasn’t a lot but I did find a happy yellow espresso cup in Superette that I thought would be perfect to plant a cactus in. That set the theme for the other planters and I’ve now gained three new and easy plants for my home!

I used the Ukrainian army stool as a prop for a plant table, which we recently purchased from The Vitrine, for our son’s bedroom makeover. We’re still doing the finishing touches to that but it soon will be revealed and who knows, he might even gain a plant for his room.

Make sure you check out Igor’s spring table setting and Judiths Easter styling and all of the others by searching with #urbanjunglebloggers on twitter and Instagram. You can join along too! See below description and links for details.

    Looks beautiful and stylish! I have thought about joining along, but I don’t know what I have been waiting… I have plenty of green friends at home, so maybe I should also present them, they deserve it! :)
    Will the April challenge be posted on their Facebook page?

    I haven’t seen all the contributions but you did definitely the most challenging job and it has turned out gorgeous, Mel! For me it looks like you are right into Spring now and live at this part of the globe (I wish you did!). Your son is getting an early ‘style’ education:-) xx

      Oh it’s so true about the style education. He came back from school with his bedroom in shambles poor thing, I have to say he was very gracious about it though. xx
