Adding Lighter, Brighter, more Colorful decor

Spring and Summer call for lighter, brighter, fresher. Whether that's your hair style, nail color or home decor, it's fun to add a pop of color and change things up! I still love my  gray stripe curtains, and I'm hanging on to them, but I was craving a brighter, lighter look for Spring and Summer.

Our kitchen nook is tiny, tucked into a corner and surrounded by windows! Through a lot of trial and error, we found a working seating solution that didn't eat up too much floor space! The distressed ivory pew (on sale right now!) and metal bentwood chairs (also on sale) fit nicely around the Craigslist table I found and painted and work well for small areas.

Our home has a modern farmhouse vibe, which means I like to pair farmhouse elements with basically everything else! I have been enjoying using many of my vintage collected items, and adding a bit of a shabby chic look to our home this Spring! 

Florals are where it's at this year!

Florals are IN this year, but I honestly try not to decorate according to the trends...I do what I love, but I'm always happy when a look I love is on trend (makes me feel like a trend-setter, haha!) This Spring it's been all about adding blush pink and vintage touches! I made two different Spring wreaths using blush florals, and I decorated my dining room with a shabby chic vintage vibe using lots of florals, my thrifted goodies and my freshly painted grandfather clock.

My chalk painted fireplace got a healthy dose of florals and layered texture on the Spring inspired mantle.

Mini Kitchen Refresh

So when it came to new curtains for the kitchen nook, these new floral curtains are the perfect complement! They have beautiful, vibrant blooms with a vintage feel and those lovely blush peonies that I am loving this year. I swapped out the pillows on the pew for ones I had around the house.

Insider tip: if you decorate with similar colors throughout your home, it's easy to swap decor from one room to another for an entirely new look!

I'd love to know what you think of the new look!

I'll see you back here on Thursday, when I'll be showing you how we created a European-inspired faux brick wall with German schmear in our Master bedroom!!! It's a beauty!
