a year of ideas from my house to yours
With spring finally here and Easter right around the corner, I am still in my decorating mode. My 2021 Spring Home Tour is up on the blog but I still see changes I want to make. With that in mind, I have added some additional spring prints to the library. A few favorites from last year and a few I created while watching the snow fall last weekend.

Finally! It’s the first day of spring! It certainly seemed to take forever to get here this year! The snow storm we had last week was a reminder just how crazy springtime in the Rockies really is! One day it’s 70 degrees outside and the next there is two feet of snow! But today it’s a balmy 62 so I’ll take it! Of course, it is supposed to snow again tomorrow but I’m living for today! With that in mind, it is the perfect day for my 2021 Spring Home Tour!

Tiered trays are a great way to add a little seasonal decor to your home. They take up little space, can easily be moved, but automatically draw the eye.
For spring, I am so excited to bring out the birds and bunnies! My winter decor is very neutral so I am also anxious to bring in some color too!

We are late bloomers here in Colorado. Literally. For that reason , I tend to use a lot of faux flowers in my decor this time of year. I’m more than ready for spring to arrive but the weather outside screams winter! To compensate, I will light my favorite spring scented candle ( Flower Shop and you will swear you are inside one! ) and bring out all the pretty faux blossoms and greenery I can find. Spring on demand so to speak!

Here we go again! It’s time to take apart the ladder I had decorated for winter and start over again. I need a springtime vibe! Bunnies, Birds, and pink! Decorating a ladder for spring is always such fun! I love this time of year!

With winter on its way out, I thought I needed a refresh for the coffee/ hot chocolate bar. I am convinced I will no longer be needing hot cocoa to keep me warm! What’s that old saying? The one about hope springs eternal? I have lived in Colorado long enough to know that although we have 70’s in the forecast this week, a foot of snow may be right around the corner! But… I am feeling optimistic so I’m going ahead with my plans! Putting together a springtime coffee bar is exactly what I need to welcome the new season to my kitchen!

In a few short weeks, spring will be in full swing! With that in mind, I am working towards creating a home that will welcome the new season at every turn. Like most homes, the family room/kitchen area is the main gathering place for everyone. The main focal point for either room is what we consider the mantel since it is the space above the built in fireplace.

This year I decided to start my decorating by putting together some spring lanterns. Always a favorite in any season, the possibilities are endless for spring! Flowers, bunnies, birds and nests will be perfect to welcome in this pretty season.

Spring! Even the word makes me smile! When I think of spring, the first thing that comes to mind is the color green. Just knowing there is green grass under the thatch that has formed all winter long is so exciting. Seeing the tiny buds that will soon be leaves on the trees and the green stems popping up from the snow is exhilarating.

The arrival of the hummingbirds each spring is such a wonderful sign of the new season! I always make sure to put my feeder out early enough to catch the eye of the very first migrator passing through. I tell them every October when I put the feeder away to just text me their arrival date next year! Of course, they never listen! So the guesswork begins and eventually I catch their fluttering outside my kitchen window. Welcome hummingbirds!
