Spring House Tour 2016

March 23, 2016

Hello and Welcome!

Spring is officially here! I've been anticipating spring for awhile now so I couldn't be more excited to finally welcome it with big open arms. I love Spring! I love watching the trees turn green, the flowers start to bloom. I love listening to the birds chirp, and spending more time outdoors; feeling the fresh air and warm sunshine.

How about you, are you happy for Springtime too?

Today, I am joining 16 lovely blogging friends to share how each of us have freshened up our homes for Spring. We will each also be sharing a tip or two so that you can leave each tour feeling inspired.
So be sure to check out all of the homes in the tour, because trust me, you do not want to miss any of them! All of the links can be found at the end of this post.

Thank you so much, Rachel from Shades of Blue Interiors for inviting me to share our home, which I have had so much fun adding bits of spring to.

Welcome to my Spring House Tour!

Our entryway is one of my favorite spaces to decorate, I think it's because it's right next to a big south facing window and so it gets a lot of great sunlight. That would be the reason why I decided to hang a bunch of plants from my coat hooks, which is so much more prettier to look at then bulky winter coats. Adios coats! See ya later!

As you look around our home, you will see lots of house plants. I prefer plants over flowers because they last longer.....well most of the time :)

Now every time I post pictures of our living room, I always get a ton of comments regarding the paint color, so I just want to jump in real quick and let you know that the color is called, Old Fashioned by True Value. It's such a pretty soft blue that it makes a perfect backdrop for my Spring decorating.

In our living room, I recently picked up this bamboo coffee table at a thrift store, and I can't get over how perfect it goes with the bamboo mirror from Target. Above the couch are my DIY Picture Ledges where I have displayed lots of pretty art.

I layered my new coffee table with colorful books, a sweet little birdy, a lovely scented candle, and a few branches from my yard. I think the branches are what make the biggest statement in the room, and actually they are probably a little too out of hand. But once they start blooming with lots of little white flowers, it's going to look really beautiful.

*Tip
Because you can't rush nature, while I wait for my branches to get blossoms, I mixed in a couple of fake flowers to the bunch so it looks as though it has already started to bloom.

To the left of the living room is the dining room. This wall here helps to divide the two spaces. I gave this area a fresh new look and shared my step by step styling tips for pulling this look together in this post.

Here in the dining room, it's kinda quirky, but I hung some white fringe from the chandelier. I then kept the styling really sweet and simple.

I placed This tray to the center of the table and styled it with a plant in my DIY coffee can turned planter bucket, and a stack of pretty vintage plates.

I've also added a few touches of spring in my bedroom.

Just in case you didn't know yet, My plank wall is Fake!! I drew my planks on with a pencil! You can learn more in this post.

The bedding is from World Market, I've had it for years now, I like how it feels so spring to me.

*Tip

Don't hesitate to bring in yard decor, like this large butterfly above the bed. Garden art makes great spring home decor too!

This wicker rocker is also meant for outdoors, but I brought it in as well.

And lastly, I just wanted to share a picture of our kitchen that I recently made over. You may have seen it already, but if you are new here, you can see more of it in this post.
