Sharing my modern farmhouse Spring home tour inspired by nature!

Friends, welcome! I am absolutely delighted that you are here! And if you're coming from Casa Watkins Living , a special "hello!" I hope you choose to stay awhile! This tour is part of the 2018 Spring Tour of Homes hosted by Monica Wants It. I encourage you to visit all the participating bloggers listed at the end of my tour for loads of Spring decorating inspiration all week long!

Spring has officially arrived both here in S Texas and in our modern farmhouse!

As I was thinking of how I would decorate for Spring this year, I truly desired simple! Yes I have bins of eggs and bunnies and cute stuff up in my attic, but I just wasn't feeling it.

You know what I WAS feeling?............

.................................................. spring in Oregon!

We lived in Oregon in the late 90's and early 2000's, back when our boys were little. We had a huge yard that was part sun and part shade. The sunny area of our yard was home to a large garden....we grew apples, pears, grapes, berries and veggies of all kinds. In fact, we used to joke that we could jam a stick into the ground and it would grow something edible! The soil was rich and fertile. I would often find my son Kyle out in the garden, helping himself to some fresh snacks 😇

The shady part of our yard, under the native pines, was home to ferns, succulents, hostas and spongy moss that thrived in the damp shade.

It was woodsy and literally thriving with life!

I wanted to bring that feeling into my home this Spring! I achieved a small fraction of that beauty because nature is pretty hard to beat, isn't it? 🌿🌼🍄

SPRING IN THE DINING ROOM

I've already shared my blue and white additions and transferware collection in   this post, and well as a tutorial for that stenciled sign. My dining room is one of my favorite rooms to play around with.

For Spring, I added moss, succulents, trailing vines and a few flowers to what I already had.



I really like how the blue and white is enhanced by all the greenery!


This succulent centerpiece was so easy to make and most items were purchased at the dollar store! I'll be sharing a tutorial next week. Click here to subscribe so you don't miss it!


Let's move into the kitchen.

SPRING IN THE KITCHEN

My kitchen is a great blank canvas for pretty much anything! The cabinets are white, countertops black marble and the walls a soft shade of gray.


I recently repurposed a craft cabinet because I needed some additional storage and display space for my large collection of vintage white ironstone and of course, more  Rae Dunn!

A few more eggs, moss and wildflowers (which I'm pretty sure are weeds...but they're pretty weeds! 😃) from my backyard adorn this sweet cabinet.

Making it spring-worthy was as simple as tucking some pretty tulips into one of my white pitchers!

SPRING IN THE SUNROOM

Greenery, greenery and more greenery, with just a a touch of purple on the little picket fence (those floral crowns are a DIY I'll share soon!) invites the outdoors in!
