Soft Neutrals Spring Home Tour

Soft Neutrals Spring Home Tour. Welcome to Thistle Key Lane, I’m thrilled that you are stopping by for our spring home tour. Today I’m sharing a look into our cottage style family room and kitchen, with subtle springtime accents and soft cozy neutrals.

Spring Home Tours

Spring is officially here at last, and we’re happy to be sharing our homes with you today. My friend Cindy over at County Road 407 is hosting our spring home tours, and I know it is going to be fabulous. I’m ready to settle in with a mug of hot tea, and mosey through my lovely friend’s homes. You’ll find all the blog links for everyone participating at the end of my post.

If you are popping in from my friend Carol of BlueSky At Home, I want to welcome you too! Carol’s home is always so pretty and I’m loving her fresh and colorful spring decor.

Soft Neutrals Spring Home Tour

One of the best things about having a home tour is that I’m forced into some much needed spring cleaning. How exciting to have two rooms that are ship-shape at the same time. I forgot how much dirt and dust is tracked in by four sweet furry paws. However, I would rather have a dirty house with a dog, than a clean one without. If you haven’t met our puppy Moose yet, here he is. Six months and growing!

Our soft neutrals spring home tour starts in the family room, and here’s a list of some subtle seasonal changes you will see. All it takes are a few quick changes to give your home a little refresh.

• pillows covers for sofa and chair
• a refresh for the mantel
• bowl bird nest arrangement
• something simple for the coffee table
• fresh flowers for the bar cart

Changing Out Pillow Covers

During my spring cleaning I updated the pillows covers on the sofa mixing solids, stripes and floral patterns. These soft shades of light brown, cream, taupe and salmon really brighten up the room. The pillow patterns also gives the leather sofa personality, and in turn makes the room more inviting.

Refresh The  Mantel

I’m tweaking our spring mantel just a little from the one in our Pinterest Challenge last month. Click here in case you missed it. This time instead of a fresh flower arrangement, I’m going for casual faux flowers in a wicker vase. If I wish I can use these into the summer months, but you know me, I’ll probably change it up again.

Vintage books are always a favorite to move color around the room or to use as risers. The horseshoe and deer shed are back on the mantel. These are gifts the Mister found and brought home, which in a way, are even better than flowers. 😉

Bowl Bird Nest

As a nod to all the busy birds outside constructing their intricate nest, I’m joining in too with a bird nest arrangement. The sweet blue speckled eggs are made with air dried clay. Leftover eucalyptus stems from a flower arrangement adds a bit of color and will dry beautifully.

Spring Coffee Table

I’m keeping the coffee table super simple starting with a fern under a vintage lantern for greenery. The shinning brass trays, are the results of that spring cleaning I mentioned. I also added a magnifying glass with gingham ribbon on top of two of my favorite decorating books. If that doesn’t say spring I don’t know what will LOL!

Spring Bar Cart

Adding something fresh and organic, such as flowers or flowering branches, is one of the easiest ways to refresh a room. I love having a fresh bouquet on the the bar cart to soften the look of the glass bottles. I think the pink ribbon helps with that too.

Spring Kitchen

It’s been almost a year since our kitchen cabinet makeover, and I’m still enjoying this soothing color every day. I especially love the cottage feel and coziness of our kitchen, its like getting a big hug each morning.

I’m adding some subtle spring accents at the coffee station with a wicker tray, woven bunny and eggs. I’m also switching out the artwork, which I like to do each season. A few vintage items for organizing include a wire gym basket for bread boards and mixing bowl for holding fruits or vegetables.

Be sure to follow Thistle Key Lane on Pinterest, where the boards are up to date with seasonal inspiration you can use right now!

Thank you so much for visiting today. Now I’m going to send you over to my friend Cindy at County Road 407. I know you don’t want to miss her cheerful spring tour, and her fabulous vintage finds.

Cheers!
