Garden Decor

Spring has sprung and you know what that means, time to get in the garden. Whether or not you were blessed with a green thumb there are many simple home decorating ideas that can spruce up the elegance of any garden.
Adding a statue or bust is one way to give the garden a little mystique. Statues add character to any outdoor space because they draw the eye and add something unique. Do you remember watching Secret Garden as a youngster? The beauty and elegance of that hidden garden came from the old, artfully distressed statues as well as the gorgeous flowering vines and trees. It’s a simple and effective way to add instant finesse to your outdoor space.
Of course, the allure of a statue loses its value in the evening if there isn’t proper lighting. One of the most personable ways to spice up your spices is to add the flickering of candlelight. Tin tea lite candle holders are perfectly simple and they still manage to glow in the garden. Any outdoor deck or veranda looks more inviting with the glow of a candle, and the tin holders cast unique shapes of light across the area.
The warmth of the candles can be added upon with the addition of incense coils. They can be hung from any structure and give the eye something intricate to look at while simultaneously giving the nose a pleasurable scent. Lavender is the perfect scent for a calming atmosphere.

Decor For Your Garden

Unique garden decor for your home guaranteed to make your garden sing!


The Pink Pig has added a Garden and Salvage category to the store this summer. This selection of Garden Decor features some things old and  some things new. Antique cherub urns, decorative wrought iron planters, Shell Art Garden Statues, Barnwood dining tables and a unique selection of wooden birdfeeders guaranteed to add some Country Charm to your garden.




I found this beautiful Cherub Statue on my last visit to Brimfield. By the artist Alena Childers, this cherub is adorned with beautiful shells from top to bottom and sits on a concrete base again adorned with beautiful seashells.



I love wrought iron planters to show off your pretty flowers and this scrolled iron 4 leg planter would make a perfect statement at the entrance to your home. 


A wrought iron dress form is the Shabby Chic Cottage for pretty vines or use these pretty ladies as an accent in your cottage.




Enjoy Country Dining outside with this beautiful barnwood table stained in the perfect shade of blue. Find some mismatched chairs and a bench and your have the perfect country setting for your guests.



If you enjoy the country life, but don't have the barn for farm animals, my Country Goat will do just fine. He is made using recycled materials and will look perfect on your lawn. 


My clay turtles are slow moving and are a perfect accent near a pool or fountain. 

 
 


The Adirondack's are a great source to find unique birdhouses and birdfeeders. I think these are just great birdfeeders and  both would add some country charm to your garden.


Happy Gardening from the Pink Pig!

It's April in Paris at the Pink Pig

Paris Inspired Decor - What's new and exciting?


Some new merchandise has arrived at the store that I'm excited about and thought I would share.




Beautiful glassware perfect for that Sunday Brunch you may be planning. A pretty Paris wine bottle set which includes a set of (2) wine glasses. A beautiful glass Apothecary Jar with the word "Paris" etched on front would look fabulous filled with your favorite soap.

For your walls, pretty vintage inspired postcard prints under glass by Hardenbrook Studio.

Pretty new heart charms by Cathy Penton have arrived and would make a perfect gift for Mothers Day. All one-of-a kind, these pretty charms are strung on a black ribbon and come in their own velvet pouch.


The store now has a Garden Category so check back often as I continue to fill it with pretty urns, vintage outdoor furniture and salvage pieces I have found just for you!

Profitez du printemps! Enjoy Spring!
