For reals. Now that spring is almost over, I&#039;m finally doing some spring decorating. I&#039;m awesome like that.</p>
<p>I decided it was high time to accessorize the beadboard <a href="http://www.creationsbykara.com/2013/02/diy-tutorial-how-to-install-beadboard-wallpaper.html">bookcase shelf</a> that I transformed back in February. And yes, I am just putting up my spring sign. My kids are done with school this Friday, which means it is the start of summer. In two days. See, I told you I&#039;m behind.</p>
<p>I had lots of ideas for decorating this shelf, but in the end I just went with very simple decor, most of which I already had. The only thing I had to make (besides the spring sign) was the little fabric rosette ball.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-17860" alt="bookcase-shelf" src="http://www.creationsbykara.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Spring-Bookcase-Shelf-004-600x402.jpg" width="600" height="402" /><a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.creationsbykara.com%2F2013%2F05%2Fspring-bookcase-shelf-decorating-idea.html&amp;media=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.creationsbykara.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F05%2FSpring-Bookcase-Shelf-004-600x402.jpg&amp;description=Spring%20Shelf%20Decorating%20Ideas%20from%20creationsbykara.com" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="beside"><img class="aligncenter" alt="" src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a><br />
I went with a very simple color scheme, just aqua and some greenery. I love how it pops against the white shelf.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-17861" alt="spring-shelf" src="http://www.creationsbykara.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Spring-Bookcase-Shelf-002-600x381.jpg" width="600" height="381" /><br />
I am kind of obsessed with little birds. At my house, they aren&#039;t just reserved for spring decorating, I leave them out all year long. I have several different ones, and they migrate from shelf to shelf. I think they are just so darn cute!<br />

Hey guys, guess what? I&#039;m famous!<br />
OK, not really. But I was on the radio.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">With Frank Fontana.<br />
You know, from Design on a Dime on HGTV?<br />
One of the best DIY shows of all time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Yep, it kinda freaked me out a little too.<br />
I mean who gets to talk on the phone with the host of one of their favorite TV shows?<br />
Oh wait, that would be me. <img src='http://www.creationsbykara.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Don&#039;t worry, I won&#039;t let it go to my head.<br />
He actually contacted me not because of one of my awesome projects, but because of one of my <a href="http://www.creationsbykara.com/2013/03/the-story-of-the-curse-and-the-diy-kitchen-pendant-light-fail.html">DIY Disasters</a>.<br />
That tends to put one in ones place, no?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This is actually the second time I&#039;ve been on the show.<br />
The first was when I talked about my failed attempt at <a href="http://www.creationsbykara.com/2012/06/diy-fail-painted-door.html">painting my garage door</a>.<br />
So basically I&#039;m the go-to girl for DIY Disasters. Awesome.<br />
But hey, at least I get to be on the radio. With Frank Fontana. <img src='http://www.creationsbykara.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Here&#039;s the clip if you&#039;d like to take a listen. (Just fast forward to 35:19 to listen to my five minutes of glory.)<br />
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RR3uVeI11eM" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe><br />
P.S. It is waaay less stressful being on the radio than it is being on television. Don&#039;t tell Frank, but I didn&#039;t even dress up. I was wearing yoga pants, a paint splattered shirt, and my ugly crocs. You can&#039;t tell that in my voice can you?</p>
