Spring Home Tour

boxwood wreaths on mantel with galvanized plant post and Spring sign

It looks like Spring is finally here to stay! Last week we got a bunch of snow and I can't tell you how disappointed I was. A huge set back for the work I'm doing in my backyard. Yep, you heard it right, I'm already working in my backyard, trying to bring it back in style for none other than the Patio Style Challenge. The reveal is coming soon, I can't wait! ;)

But hey, today is all about the home's interior, and as usual, I'm over the moon to be a part of this talented group of ladies led by Marty from A Stroll Thru Life.

If you're coming from Doreen at Hymns and Verses or if you're one of my regulars, Welcome! I'm so glad you are here. Make yourself comfortable because this is a load with lots of pictures post.

In my book, Spring decor is all about new beginnings, kind of cleaning our rooms and starting the year with a bright, fresh canvas, I think that's the theme for this home tour, Bright and Fresh.

So, let's start here at the mantel in the family room, the only area in this room that got dressed for Spring. This is the place where the family hang out the most, whatever decor I add to the mantel is always enjoyed it.

The kitchen has stayed the same, I'm still enjoying the bright colored island. So, other than the fresh tulips in the blue mason jars and some drawer organization I did a couple months ago, I've done nothing in here.

Miss. RLC was in charge of juicing those oranges, and she wasn't that happy about the pics. :/

So, we better get out of the kitchen and move into the home office.

The reveal of this room was done last year, during Christmas.

Wall Art | Built-ins | Office Chair

But, after all the Christmas decor was taken down, I've been using this room as my office. I love it! Even though, my supplies, crafts, and papers aren't organized that well yet. I feel like I've been more productive having the majority of my stuff in one space.

built-ins and a white and blue palette with sphere chandelier

I used one of those wide lenses to try to capture the entire room in one shot. And yeah, that's how it looks when you are at the door coming from the kitchen.

Styling the shelves wasn't easy, I changed them like five times. :)

ikea storage boxes, big clock and wire baskets on built-ins

Geometric Pillow Cover | Magazine Files | Office Tray

I first tried to bring the Ikea boxes to the top shelves, but nope, too busy. I guess the styling never ends.

I think this is a "new to you" view of my home, from the office all the way to the family room, going thru the kitchen and breakfast area. It's a looong room!

Hydrangeas put a smile on my face while working in here.

And now that I look at this picture, I'm just glad to be able to inject new life to those old pieces... the chair, the table, the chandelier...

And it's right here, while sitting in this chair, that I get to admire all the work I just completed in the adjacent living room.

This can be the living room reveal. The past two months were spent in here giving this room some architectural flare.

Cristina, I so admire your style and how you continuously incorporate such great changes in your home. I sense a fresh, light and airy feeling with throughout your home. Your use of color punches are perfect throughout. Your son's bedroom is a showstopper, hands down, but I love your latest ceiling and wall trims added. I understand the long space concept - our home is like that. It's always a delight catching up with your projects (like those stumps on the porch - lookin' great, again). Happy Spring.
