Spring Home Tour: Flirting with Yellow

home tour, spring

Welcome to my spring home tour! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and there’s a lightness to my step as the days get a little bit longer with every passing 24 hours. (This post contains affiliate links.)

Sunny Entryway in a Country Style Farmhouse

 

It’s spring home tour week organized by Marty at a Stroll Thru Life. If you’re following the tour, then you’ve probably come here from my friend Suzy’s blog – Worthing Court.

When it comes to seasonal decor, I usually find inspiration from color, and this season I’m flirting with yellow. It’s not a color I use a lot in my home, but I like the energy it adds to a space. I’ve been snatching up yellow tulips at Fresh Market every time I see them. I bought a new sansaveria (snake plant), too. It’s the smaller one that sits on my new glass-front cabinet.

Some new pillows and a textured throw join my entryway bench. The pillows are from Cocoon and the throw is from Home Goods. The blanket is light weight – perfect for spring – and I love its nubby texture and knotted fringe.

A golden yellow pillow and daffodils add a little spring fever to my sitting room. I’m obsessed with these textured pillows from Cocoon and have several more in my family room. I’m saving that room for a blog post sometime next week.

Do you like my stone bunny on the mantel? I found him at Pottery Barn and couldn’t resist. More yellow tulips make their appearance, too.

The other corner of the sitting room didn’t get any new spring adornments – but it does have the new black candlesticks I found on sale at Pottery Barn.

Here’s a view from my kitchen through the sitting room and into the entryway and dining room.

Readers always ask where I got the feather prints that you see here in my dining room. They’re from Antique Farm House which carries stock on a rotating basis so you don’t know when something will be offered again.

My large stone artisan vase holds some dried greens and flowers. It looked bare sitting empty and this faux bouquet from HomeGoods did the the trick.

A second stone bunny takes center stage on my dining room table. My kitty was quite intrigued with him and kept pawing at him trying to get the bunny to move.

Mignette was never successful in getting the bunny to move so she decided to join him instead, striking the same pose!

My lamb picture still hangs above the console table with its big baskets where I store extra throws and sometimes pillows. People ask where the door on the right leads – it’s the laundry room.

Have you noticed a theme of plants throughout my home? I almost killed this rubber plant but fortunately nursed it back to health. I love when that happens. A little further down the console table is my new bronze rabbit.

He’s from my favorite store in Geneva – Cocoon. I found the bronze eggs at the same time. I wanted to fill the bowl with candy but I’m watching what I eat so I settled for a tiny bouquet of faux flowers.

I’m enjoying the sunshine streaming into the house. Even the fish are coming to life in the backyard garden pond. That sight really made my heart sing!

  4. Love all of your bunnies, so cute and how fun that your kitty was trying to play with the bunny on the table. My favorite has always been that cow painting and I adore your wicker chairs in this room. Such an inviting space and the touch of yellow is perfect. Thanks so much for joining the tour this season.

    • Thanks Miche! I imagine spring has definitely arrived in your neck of the woods. And yes, I was excited to see the fish out of their little cave and swimming about!

  12. Your cat and the rabbit! Too funny. I have always liked yellow, but I am not fond of this current bright yellow we have all been told is one of this year’s colors. However, I love the color of your chenille pillow and the yellow in the cattle still life. Sort of a Palomino seems to suit me best.

  13. Love all your nubby, textured pillows, Jennifer. I want to feel all of them. And Mignette looks darling with your bunny. That’s my favorite photo! Love seeing what’s new in your home. It’s always a treat. Looking forward to seeing your garden soon too. Happy spring. (almost)

  22. I really enjoyed your tour, Jennifer! Love all of your plants and bunnies, especially the one on your mantle. The yellow touches that you’ve added are perfect. After so many years of shying away from yellow, I think it’s making a comeback. I’ve been playing with yellow for an Easter tablescape and plan to use it on my front porch. That picture of your kitty on the table with the bunny is too funny!

    • Thanks Suzy! I’m normally not a yellow person (except for the outside of my house) but I saw the golden yellow pillows in the store … and you know how that story ends. LOL.
