Newlywed Nesting: Seasonal Decor

As Jenni and I are both newly married, these past few months we've been able to settle into our homes with those men we now call husbands. With our newest feature, newlywed nesting, we hope to show you a little of the creative projects we are working on in our respective homes.
Jordon and I live in a small basement suite. It's cozy, it's really nice, but it doesn't have too many windows. Just another reason to get more creative with my decor to make it feel cheery, even without the sun streaming in. 
I've decided there are a few places in our house that I like to change seasonally, these are two of them.

First, is my little glass covered terrarium. This was something we used during our wedding as we had a plethora of succulents as additions to our day. Now, it sits on our coffee table. I like to change its contents seasonally to reflect what's going on out of doors. So far, I've had red berries, some pebbles, and now these lovely everlasting flowers. Yes, they are fake. But what better way to preserve florals in a sun-less plaace?
Second, I like to change our clipboards in our living room. Yes, framed art is changeable, but who really takes the time to change it? I don't. Clipboards are so easy. I've had some prints and pieces from people I know, but currently they are images gathered from many places. I like the springy, muted colours they are representing currently. 
And yes, more fake flowers. I really do prefer real blooms, they make their way into these vases occasionally!
Just a few small things I like to do to give our home some reflections of the seasons. Do you decorate seasonally? 

Don't forget to enter our giveaway here! Closes Monday!

Curated By Jenni: Vol. 2

1. I made these Moroccan Meatballs for dinner last night- they were SO tasty. If you make them, don't skimp on the real ginger!
2. I've been obsessed with Naturally Ella for vegetarian meals. I plan on making this yummy looking skillet soon.
3. Bridget over at Deer Circus has some great tips on keeping a small space tidy. Exactly what I need for our tiny home.
4. I've been drawn toward air plants recently, not only because they are totally trendy, but because they seem like a plant I could actually keep alive... These tips should help!
5. There are no words for how beautiful Becca Stadtlander's illustrations are. Perfectly delightful.
6. How cute are Oana Befort's newest temporary tattoo creations?? This is my kind of body ink.

6. Any Art by Julie Morstad is so fascinating to me. And she's from Vancouver! 

Happy Friday, everyone! I love to find and research things around the internet. And these finds will be featured here every Friday in this new series! I hope that they inspire you to look, make and create. And perhaps you'll discover something new along the way that you can share with those around you.  I think I plan on creating that chai spice banana smoothie this weekend and sharing it with my husband. What do you plan on doing?
