Welcome to my modern country home tour – spring edition! I don’t know what happened this winter but I was on a bit of a decorating binge and made a few impactful changes – like changes in wall color.
My home tour is just one of many today. Krista at The Happy Housie organized today’s Seasonal Simplicity spring tour. You might be coming over from my friend Amanda’s lovely home at Sincerely Marie Designs – welcome!
I don’t know how it escaped my paint brush but the sitting room is one place that didn’t change color, except my vintage mantel which I shared last week.
The only spring decorating I did this year is the addition of spring flowers and a few new plants. No eggs. No bunnies. I decided to keep things simpler this season. And look how pretty a pink Gerbera daisy is, all on its own.
We use this room far more often than we used to. It makes such a cozy room for intimate conversations and is right off the kitchen which makes it convenient for grabbing coffee, wine, or snacks.

The next room on my spring modern country home tour is the family room and I’m excited to show you my new sectional! I chose a timeless, traditional style. A few others caught my eye but I chose something that wouldn’t go out of style any time soon.
After we painted the family room in Mole’s Breath by Farrow & Ball, I knew the white sectional had to go. A couple of orchids join a pot of purple tulips on the coffee table.
The new sectional gets a thumbs up from me. It’s a tweed type fabric and is super comfy. And the best part – no more slipcovers!
The last room on today’s modern country home tour is my bedroom which is small but cozy.
After painting the family and dining rooms, I decided to paint this bedroom. Hubby had just painted it White Dove, but I wanted something warmer with an earthy look.
The short wall behind the bed wears Mole’s Breath since I had a bit left over. The rest of the walls are painted Purbeck Stone, also by Farrow & Ball. Then I found a new bedspread to match.
I’m anxious for the philodendrons above the bed to start growing and draping down. It’s gonna look so cool!
A pot of pink begonias add a little spring perk to the room.
On the other side of the bedroom is a new gray dresser that replaced my two white dressers.
A Philodendron Micans fills my favorite little sheep planter.
Once painted white, the secretary in the corner is now painted Weimaraner by Benjamin Moore. I had a sample pot of this paint color when I was testing colors for the family room wall. It didn’t make the cut so I used it to paint furniture.
More Gerbera daisies fill an old cigar box to add a little spring cheer.

I love the new changes you have made! Too bad you live so far away☺️ I am headed to the nursery to purchase some pink flowers…beautiful.
You can never go wrong with pink flowers, Jane! Going to the nursery is so therapeutic. 🙂
Love, love your changes! It was beautiful before but it’s always great to have something new and fresh!
Thanks, Joanne! It’s been a fun process and I’m loving the end result. 🙂
Beautiful, Jennifer! I love your big statement art pieces – and the florals are the perfect addition for spring. Glad you could be part of this tour series!
Thank you for inviting me to be part of the tour, Krista. It’s always an honor!
Jennifer everything looks wonderful. I never get over how the cow pasture scene is like a camillian. Whatever you put next to this piece the colors change. What a super piece.
Cindy
Thanks, Cindy! I often think of you when I re-do the vignettes near that painting. 🙂 Hope all is well in your corner of the world!
I love every change you have made!
Thank you, Joanie! That means a lot to me. 🙂
Your home is always so cozy, Jennifer! I love all of the live greenery and the little beige desk is the sweetest!
Thanks, Amanda! Anxious to get everything done inside before the warm weather arrives!
I love all the changes Jennifer. I did something extremely similar last February and went with a tweed sofa, new simpler wool rug and warmer colors on the walls (creamy mushroom) in my living room and kitchen. I love the darker door colors you went with and the house overall feels so homey and cozy! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Traci! Creamy mushroom walls sounds divine! Especially with a tweed sofa and wool rug. 🙂
i like your new sofa, I am going to be in the market for one before long. Could you please tell me the brand? I have shopped
around some and most are uncomfortable. I do not like deep seats where I cannot touch the floor, nor cushions that feel like your sinking into never land.
Glad you like my new sectional! I found it at Art Van furniture. It’s the Serena sectional. You can customize it to fit your space. My daughter recently found a new sectional at Art Van, too. She chose the Marisol model and she loves it. Here’s the link to the one I bought (mine has an extra seat to it). https://www.artvan.com/serena-iii-2-piece-left-arm-facing-sectional/300241186.html
I love all the changes you’ve made, looks different and new. Those colors are really pretty and so is your new sectional, it looks really nice and comfy. All your plants and flowers are wonderful. Thanks for this tour.
Thanks, Marlene! You always have such nice things to say and I really do appreciate your support! It means a lot to me. 🙂
Beautiful as always Jen! I love all of the flowers and plants. Definitely gives it that spring touch!
Thank you, Jennifer! Plants are my new mojo. 😉
wow! Just wow. You have done such an inspiring change to your home. As much as I detest moles, and why would anyone choose to name that color after one is beyond me, the color really changes the mood of your family room. It looks very inviting and relaxing. Spectacular job!
Thanks so much, Nancy! Farrow & Ball has strange names for their paint colors. A couple more of their paint colors I liked are Mouse’s Back and Elephant’s Breath. I always thought it’d be fun to name paint colors!
Love the new sectional and all the colors you have chosen!! Your style has certainly changed over the years…….but always beautiful!!
Such a gorgeous home. I love all of the flowers and plants. So beautiful for Spring!
xoxo
Such a beautiful and unique home!
I’m loving all the greenery and fresh flowers in your home, they’re the perfect spring decoration! Your home looks so cozy and cheery!
Your home looks so cozy and inviting!
Your spring flowers and plants are so pretty and the perfect addition for spring!
Jennnifer your home is always beautiful. I am also in the market for a sectional. Might I ask what the name of the one you got is and where you purchased it from?
Your home always looks lovely… no matter the season! Pinned!
Jennifer, your home is so beautifully styled for spring! So lovely.
Hugs, Jamie
Hey, Jen! Moles Breath… What a great name for a paint colour! <3 I love the greys, dark khaki and browns you've chosen ~ earthy, warm and inviting! The new walls in our house are a deeper tan and although a bit dark in the evenings for our tired eyes, we love this color in the daylight!
Happy spring to you and happy decorating,
Love the painted secretary!!!
Barb 🙂
Where is the cow painting in the sitting room from?
