A Burst of Spring House Tour

Yesterday was the first day of Spring – although we still have LOADS of snow here! I’m completely over the snow and below freezing temps ….and ready to embrace Spring sunshine and a lighter look for our home! 

So I’ve packed away my winter faux fur throw blankets and pillows and added light spring colors, boxwood accents and white tulips throughout our rooms.

Let’s start in my foyer!

For Spring I added a dried boxwood wreath to my office door, some boxwood urns, moss balls, a vase of white tulips  and pretty blush pink pillows to our tufted nailhead wingback chairs.

I’m on the search for a settee for this space – but wow – settees are expensive!! 

These two beautiful linen tufted wingback chairs fit perfectly here though ….so until I find a settee at a good price they’ll stay because they are a perfect spot to sit down and slip my shoes on and off.

I’ve tucked some white wicker baskets underneath them to store mitts in winter and flip flops in the summer.

I’m a bit obsessed with garden stools – this one I picked up at Home Goods last year – they are perfect in a foyer beside a chair or bench and a fabulous place to set your keys, mail and phone.

Here’s another shot of the blush pink pillows – they are so elegant and soft! They have a textured floral pattern that’s so chic and pretty!

I’m really loving this shade of ‘rose quartz’ right now! This color looks amazing paired with neutrals, black and white.

Let’s head into our living room!

I picked up a palm tree recently – I really needed some life and greenery after the brutal winter we’ve had this year!

I tucked it into a seagrass basket I already had – I love the pop of color and texture the fronds bring to our neutral living room.

This is one of my tips on how to design a living room: adding greenery is so important to add interest and color!

Here’s another garden stool!!! I stacked some design books on top with wooden beads with a gold chevron candle.

I added a ghost chair to keep the room light and bright.

Spring sofa decor:

I put away my cable knit and faux fur pillows and replaced them with my blue dip dyed and ikat accent pillows – I love, love, love these relaxing colors of indigo and watery blue!

I also put away my wintery coffee table accents – my white antlers and birchbark candles  -and replaced them with touches of gold and crystal.

Here’s how I styled my coffee table for Spring:

I added a large crystal votive holder with a white candle, a string of natural wood beads and a gold sea urchin on a stack of coffee table books.

I love using reflective and metallic decor in my home!

These are two of my favorite design books: The Finer Things by Christiane Lemieux (who founded DwellStudio) and Suzanne Kasler Timeless Style.

If you’re looking for beautiful coffee table books and design inspiration for two incredibly talented designers check these books out!

Our Pottery Barn leather club chairs got springified with some white pillows and throws and blue ikat pillows – to tie into the sofa seating area.

Garden stools are a fabulous side table idea between two chairs and take up less space than an end table.

I kept my mantel simple for Spring. two big bouquets of white tulips and white candles keep things ‘clean looking’ and bright!

Here’s a closeup of my mantel! I love using clear round vases for my tulips. The round shape mimics the curves of the tulip petals.

These tulips have the prettiest scent and I love their spikey green leaves!

I tucked in some faux air plants into hubby’s pewter military mug for another pop of green.

Air plants are becoming my latest obsession too…..!!
