Now, let’s get started with my spring house tour!
Today, we’ll start in the foyer where I added a few spring touches to welcome guests!
Simple Spring Home Decorating Ideas for the Foyer:
A foyer is a great place to add some fresh flowers for spring – or any season.
This year, I kept my colors simple with fresh green, yellow and white. In previous years, I’ve decorated with more color.
For some variation in height, I mixed in a few white candles. Then to play off the neutral colors of the seagrass basket and the stair runner, I used my burlap runner for the base.
For me, the foyer is a great place to add fresh flowers so I can keep an eye on them. If I’m walking past them all day, I’m more likely to remember to add water.
Simple Spring Vignette:
This year, I decided to dress up the seating area in our game room.
Our narrow console table behind the couch is a perfect place to add a spring vignette. For that spot, I continued with the green and white.
In this spot, all the plants and flowers are artificial. Since we don’t use this room everyday, I might forget to water live flowers. You know…”out of sight, out of mind”. If you’ve read my blog, you’ll remember I’m not exactly known for my plant skills…
Spring Home Decorating Ideas for the Kitchen:
In the kitchen, I continued with the green, white and yellow but I also added some blue!
During the warmer months, blue feels so fresh, doesn’t it?
Actually, most of the time I decorate with blue in my kitchen. I just rotate the pieces around. If you also love blue, see how I decorated for spring with blue and white…and pink!
In my opinion, trays make a great base for vignettes. I keep this round tray on my kitchen island most of the time and change the accessories seasonally. If you want to see some other variations, check out my recent blog post – How to Decorate with Round Trays.
Since I had started with white tulips in the other rooms, I continued in the kitchen. Then I added some lemons for more touches of yellow. Though, I really need to buy some artificial lemons. As you probably know, they don’t seem to last very long out of the refrigerator.

Speaking of lemons, I picked up the cute little lemon wreath the other day. It’s just the splash of color I needed on my stove mantel…
For more touches of spring,…yellow daffodils on the windowsill along with more lemons.
Since our kitchen opens up to the family room, I kept the same color scheme in there…
Spring Home Decorating Ideas in the Family Room:
From the kitchen table, you can see all the blue and yellow in the family room…
When you have an open concept space, it just makes sense to continue with the same colors.
Of course, it helps that our family room rug is already blue. Each season, I also change the pillow covers to blue. It’s much easier to store pillow covers than a bunch of big puffy pillows.

Yes, I went a little lemon-crazy with my decor this year…but they are great accessories for the look I’m going for.
On my fireplace mantel, I replaced my black and white family photos for this colorful blue print. Normally, this artwork hangs in my bedroom but I decided to give it some new life on the mantel. The colors really brighten up my fireplace, don’t you think? If you’re looking for spring fireplace ideas, here are two more ways I’ve decorated my mantel for spring.
Yes, we’ll have to see how long those daffodils will strand straight… I have a feeling I might be going faux with those in the near future as well! For those of you who prefer faux daffodils, these look like a good option! And these look almost real!

Love your home, your kitchen is such a dream, I drool every time I see it. Love that you added lemons this year, I did the same. You are so creative with your vignettes, tons of inspiration and ideas for us all to copy. Thanks so much for joining the tour again this season, it is always a treat to visit your home.
Thanks Marty, you’re so sweet! Yes, lemons just feel so fresh and springy, don’t they? Thanks again for hosting the tour and for including me!
Love all the touches of spring you have added with the fresh flowers to your beautiful home!
Thanks Julia! Great hopping with you!
Shelley, your home looks so fresh and inviting! I can’t get enough of your kitchen, it’s so very pretty. Those yellow tones are a great contrast to your pretty white and blue ginger jar collection.
Thank you, Cristina! I know you can appreciate the blue and white! Great hopping with you!
Shelley your home is just gorgeous. The spring vignettes are truly inspiring. I adore all of the blue and white!
You’re so kind, thanks so much Laura! Such a fun tour – enjoy your week!
Your spring home looks lovely, Shelley! And I get the lemons! They remind me of spring AND summer! So, I’m waiting until summer… maybe. 😉 Love touring with you, my friend… and I LOVE your kitchen! Pinned!
Thanks so much, Julie! Yes, lemons give such a fresh spring and summer vibe, don’t they? Looking forward to seeing your tour. Thanks again for the kind words!
LOL, I laughed at reading you aren’t known for your plant skills. Neither am I. I wouldn’t be surprised if on my headstone my family didn’t put – Loving wife, mother and plant killer – on it. I think I alone can keep a plant store in business from all the rebuying. Ugh. Anyway, I really love the cohesiveness of your rooms. Especially how that yellow pops with the blue and white. Plus I gave a good long look to each accessory and love them too! So pretty. Glad to have hopped with you this week. Enjoy!
Ha – Nice to know I’m in good company with my black thumb! Thank you Cindy – I’m flattered that you liked my tour. Great hopping with you!
As always – I am so inspired by your creativity and freshness! I love that picture of the daffodil on your kitchen window shelf. And blue and white is never going out of style – ! Have you collected yours at stores, or thrift shops & garage sales, or …?
Thanks so much, Kristine! Yes, I’ve collected blue and white throughout the years from gifts, boutiques, Homegoods, etc…basically wherever I see pieces!
Love all the fresh and faux plants and flowers! It makes your home so inviting for spring!
Thank you Lori! I need lots of green and color this time of year! Enjoy the rest of your week!
Your home is gorgeous Shelley! I love the touches of yellow everywhere – so fresh! Pinned 🙂
Thanks so much, Cindy! Happy almost-spring!
Beautiful spring tour Shelley, and of course I love all the daffodils with your blue and yellow accents. The photo of daffodils on the window sill leaning towards the sunlight is absolutely stunning.
Awe thanks Michelle! Glad you liked it. Yellow and blue just felt so fresh and springy to me. Enjoy the rest of your week!
Your home is beautifully decorated Shelley, and I’m loving all the plants for Spring! That little lemon wreath on your stove hood is darling! Happy Spring my friend 🌿🍋🌷
Thank you Cindy! Lemons just felt so fresh to me this year – glad you liked the wreath! Happy Spring!
I love the combination of yellow and white…there’s almost no fresher color combo! Loved touring your beautiful home and happy to be hopping with you this week!
Thank you – and great to hop with you too!
Shelley, I always love your decorating style. Nothing says spring like blue and yellow! Years ago, I bought a bunch of faux lemons from Pier One, and I love them to this day. Everyone thinks they’re real.
Thanks Amy! It’s funny you mentioned the faux lemons from Pier One…I actually have the same ones in a bowl at our condo in Vermont! I really could use them in NJ…the real ones won’t last forever in my decor!
Everything is so beautiful! I love the pops of blue and yellow and all of the fresh greens and flowers. So pretty!
Thanks Kristin! Happy almost-spring to you!
I’m so delighted to be sharing you at Tuesday Turn About tomorrow! Pinned, again!
Thanks so much Julie! Enjoy your week!
I love your vignettes and the pops of yellow you used; it speaks of spring!

Awe – so nice to say because I’m definitely craving peace these days…I think we all are! Thanks for the feature! You made my day!
