Early Spring Home Tour


It's hard to believe that Spring is almost here, but if there's a good indication of that, it has to be the beautiful weather we had over the weekend and even yesterday. Those delightful temperatures in the sixties and seventies were a good sample of what to expect.

It's time to open those windows, let in some fresh air, and add signs of the new season inside our homes!

Welcome to my Springhouse; I'm so excited you're here! 

Once again, I'm joining my dear friend Marty from A Stroll Thru Life and a fabulous group of blogging friends to showcase our homes for the new season. The links to each beautiful home tour are at the end of this post.

If you're stopping by Decor To Adore, you might know that Laura is renovating her kitchen. Don't you love kitchen renovations? I do. She's turning her kitchen into a stunner, and she also managed to give her home a lovely lavender glow for Spring.

Today, I'm sharing part of my downstairs, all dolled up and ready for the warm days ahead!

Let's start in the living room where this room sported some winter attire... the red rug, black curtains, and dark accents were removed. As shown in the picture below, I almost went down to the bare bones.

Once the weather started to change, all those dark accents were too much.

LIVING ROOM

The white canvas I was left with reminded me that I've always wanted to add a fun design to this wall between the b & b planks.

Well, this is how this room looks now after three rolls of wallpaper and a few accessories. 
💙💙💙


I love this wallpaper! It looks like denim or jean fabric was added to the wall, and all those printed birds add so much character.
 
This is a peel-and-stick wallpaper, meaning it has no texture. I used three rolls for this 12' x 9' wall, but I was running short. I even had to patch up some areas.

By the way, this paper is very forgiving when you do that, which is always a big plus.

You can check the little video about installing this wallpaper.

This big focal wall filled the room with color, but I wanted to bring another contrasting color.

These tulips were love at first sight. I love the two-tone, intense orange on the outside and a soft yellow on the inside.

My fiddle leaf was moved from the corner of my office to this central spot between these two rooms.

Last year, I gave my fiddle leaf a lot of TLC, and she's been thriving. The previous week, she got another little trim because one side was growing faster than the other. This is the perfect time of year to trim and transplant your household plants. 


The old sofa was spruced up with some throw pillows and a blanket.

🐶 Louie's guarding post is on top of that chair between the windows. He's always there, watching everything that moves outside.

He usually appears on my seasonal tours (especially when seated in his favorite chair). However, Mr. RLC was home while I took these photos, and Louie was spending some quality time with his dad <3.

I always cover the chair with a slipcover, that's the best way to keep both, those furry friends and ourselves happy.

These carrots were the first element I grabbed after looking into my Easter bin in the basement.

Followed up by these engraved eggs that I display year after year. They were a Pier 1's find before they closed up their stores.

HOME OFFICE

Let's now head towards the contiguous home office. I don't usually take a wide shot of this room because of all the light coming from those windows, and the wooden tones give me some weird shades, but this time, it kind of worked in my favor.

I love working here. It's such a bright room.

A bouquet of hydrangeas and that little fellow peeking out from behind the vase make me smile every time I look at them.

THE KITCHEN

I prefer to display fruits and vegetables in the kitchen as seasonal decor. A big bowl of oranges acts as a centerpiece on the island. I'm a girl who loves fruits—mangoes, apples, pineapples, bananas, papayas—and it's good to have them ready. 

The big black bowl was an easy DIY a few weeks ago. I adore its size and how sturdy it is.

You can check the complete details on how to DIY a black pedestal bowl right HERE.



Here is a little treat for my kids. ;)

I hope you enjoyed my Spring home tour and found some inspiration to add some spring cheer to your space!

The next stop on our Spring home tour is Shelley's home from Calypso In The Country. It is a must-see! Her classic style is fabulous, and her Spring home tour showcases it well.

  14. Christina,
    You are so inspiring and very talented! I absolutely love that wallpaper and need to find a spot to use it. I'm pretty obsessed with blue. I went and read your post on the ceiling. I've never done anything like this on my own, but rather inspired to try my hand at the underlayment for a plank wall. I have 2 kids that are getting married in the next 6 months. I'm going to have 2 empty bedrooms to decorate!
