Spring Home Tour

Hello again everyone and welcome to my Spring Home Tour Part 2! This week I’ve joined up with 20 Canadian bloggers for the Canadian Bloggers Spring Home Tour hosted by Shannon at AKA Design and Christina at The DIY Mommy For those of you who are new around here, my name is Kim and I’m so excited to share a little more of my home with you all!

In my previous Spring Home Tour Part 1, I shared My living room and the breakfast nook. This week I’ll be sharing the dining room, the guest room and the Master bedroom. I try to make this as simple as possible and start with a good spring cleaning. Then I change out the winter throw pillows and bedding for some fresh spring ones. Mostly using pieces that I already have. A few little fresh and faux flowers and greens and my home is ready for spring! So let’s begin the tour, grab a cup of something comfy, sit back and enjoy!

Guest room

In the guest room I changed out the winter bedding and added some spring bedding I’ve had for years in beautiful shades of blue and sage. I used the same colours for the throw pillows as well. A few fresh and faux flowers and greenery and everything looks bright, fresh and ready for spring!

The guest room is the sunniest and brightest one in the house and a favourite of Jack who loves to lay in here. He also loves to follow me around so If I’m taking pics, he’s sure to be in them! This room is used mostly by my daughter and Son in law when they come to visit so it’s nice to keep it warm and welcoming.

I’ve white washed this dresser and then sanded it down, which I may do again. 🙂 I have a tutorial for that here.

Master Bedroom

In the master, I changed out the bedding from winter to spring, added some fresh flowers and the green magnolia wreath. It’s nice to have faux florals and greens, unless you’re able to keep up with fresh ones…which I’m not! Lol. I made the blue velvet pillow and the little one in front of it was made out of a throw rug. I have a tutorial for that here. The rug is from my daughter and I thought it would look great in here. It goes so well with the blues in the bedding.

Dining Room

In the dining room I did some spring cleaning and removed a lot of extra dishes etc. I changed out the curtains for one’s that I already had. Replacing the white fur throw pillows for these blue and white linen ones makes such a difference! I’ve had these linen pillows for years and they’re my favourite! For the mantel I placed a couple of topiaries with some vintage brass candle holders I’ve been collecting and a brass terrarium. Some gorgeous hydrangeas and a few little faux fern stems to add some freshness and greenery.

Simple Spring Home Tour 2017

Thanks so much for joining along with me and fifteen other bloggers as we share our homes for the Joyful Spring Home Tour. If you’re coming from Haley at the The MountainView Cottage welcome, Isn’t that bedroom gorgeous? You can find links to all the bloggers at the bottom of this post where you’ll find tons of inspiration for your own homes. So grab a cup of something comforting, settle in for my simple spring home tour and enjoy.

I’ll be sharing my living room and breakfast nook this week for Part 1 of the tour and the following week I’ll be sharing Part 2. I called it the simple spring home tour because changing out your decor for spring doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive. I simply changed out my winter throw pillows for some more springlike colours and textures. Then I added some fresh and faux flowers as well as some greenery! It really can be that simple and easy.

You may find the odd pet hanging around but they come with the home!

The shiplap off the kitchen here is new and I love it. I added these little coat hooks and it’s a great place to hang your apron..and any odd wreaths you may want to hang up too! The wreaths bring a great hit of green to the space making it feel fresh and springlike.

The coffee table was a thrift find and I stripped it down of all its old varnish to reveal this beauty! I think it’s a one of a kind piece and it’s added such warmth to the living room. I’ve layered it up with a few pieces as well as fresh and faux flowers. Nothing says spring like tulips and hydrangeas!

My home is pretty white and neutral so it makes it quite easy to change things up. Trading out the winter pillows for these beautiful blues and adding the flowers and greenery is all it’s taken to spruce this room up for spring.

I kept it pretty simple but added a little whimsy to my mantel this year in the form of this bust. She has a hollow place in the top of her head where you can place plants. She now has a lovely asparagus fern for hair! I just call her “my lady”. With the addition of these wooden bead “pearls” I’d say she looks pretty striking! Plants always make a space fresher.

The gorgeous pillow on the chair was made by me from a throw rug, you can find the tutorial here. I love the colour blue and come spring you’ll find it all throughout my home. It makes me think I live in a coastal cottage by the sea. The lake is actually down the street, so I’m not that far off… a girl can dream right?

This is our little breakfast nook. Other than changing out the curtains to spring/summer ones, the only changes I made in here were to add these tulips. Once the tulips are gone, I’ll add a plant or some faux greenery to keep it looking fresh. All pretty simple touches that make a big impact
