Spring has finally arrived in Kansas City! The first signs of green popping up in the yard makes this girl’s heart happy! Warmer and longer days, working in the yard, and eating outside are all on their way! I’ve teamed up with Marty from A Stroll Thru Life, along with several other home, design, and DIY bloggers to share our spring homes with you! If you are stopping by from Remodelando la Casa, I’m so happy to have you here!
Per usual, I don’t do a ton of “decorating” for the seasons, but I do love to switch things up and add fresh flowers. Over the years, I have cleaned out all seasonal items that I thought I “should” put out, and now I only use what speaks to me and what I love. Our home lends itself to spring all year long because of my love for fresh greenery, plants, and the color pink!
In an effort to keep things real, these photos were taken to provide inspiration, this is not an indication of how our home looks every day! I love to decorate and change things up and have a comfortable and inviting home, but we also are real people with busy lives. We have piles and messes and shoes strewn about, and dust bunnies and unmade beds, and crumbs on the counters at any given time. My kitchen island is never as clean as it looks in these photos! And thank goodness you can’t see my baseboards… 🙂
Now, let’s get started! I made this DIY tulip wreath last year, and it’s one of my favorite DIY’s to date. The colors make me happy and looks great off of our black door. Come on inside!
I also added another free printable to our kitchen chalkboard using Washi tape. You simply can’t go wrong with tulips in any color, but I like pink or white.
We recently spruced up our home office a little bit and it feels spring-like to me in and of itself. This room gets a lot of natural light and is filled with plants and bright colors. My husband’s side is more “work-ish”, so my side gets to be in all the photos (since it’s prettier)! 🙂
Clearly, as you can see from the final photo, I am fresh out of ideas and I’ll wrap it up! I always have fun participating in these home tours. I’ve always loved making our home feel cozy and fresh and new again. Don’t forget, fresh flowers, plants, and pops of color go a long way!

I love, love, love your pretty pops of pink in your home, gorgeous. You do such a great job of making each space look so fresh and inviting. Loved the tour.
Thanks, as always, Marty! So happy to be on the tour!
everything looks fab but my favorite is the fireplace! gorgeous!
Thanks for stopping by Cassie!!
Nothing like fresh flowers to make a space feel and look this beautiful! Thanks for the tour!
Agreed – I do love some fresh flowers and plants! I treat myself often, not just during tour time!! 🙂
Andrea you have truly created an amazing home tour! I just had to pin that amazing tulip wreath.
As a fellow spring tour participant I wanted to invite you to our linky party, Thoughts of Home on Thursday. Your tour is so fantastic that I would love for you to share it. We offer a giveaway every week for each participant. This week is a subscription to Southern Living. I hope you join in on our gathering.
Happy Easter to you and yours!
Thanks Laura! Hoping to get my act together and get my tour linked!!
Everything is gorgeous!! Love your pops of pink and especially the overdyed runner in the kitchen:-)
Thanks Anita! That pink runner is my new favorite item in our home. Pink is a neutral for me!
Andrea your home is just lovely and I love all of the natural art. Your decorating style is totally up my alley. I loved that you gave a disclaimer and kept it real regarding the photos. I know I always feel like a fraud when posting pictures because the reality is sooo much different!
Thanks Jennifer! For some reason, I feel the need to post disclaimers even though I'm sure people know better! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment!
So so pretty! I'm someone obsessed with black and white too, so I'm loving this!
Thanks Julia! Happy you stopped by!
Your fig tree looks awesome! I have one and it's been quite the struggle to keep it alive 😉 Love your pink kitchen runner too…have a great weekend!
