Welcome, friends!
Today I’m teaming up with a fantastic group of bloggers for the Styled for Spring home tours hosted by Jenna from Wife in Progress. All of the bloggers participating in the tour are linked at the bottom, so be sure to check them out. I know you will be inspired by all of their beautiful spring decor.
Decorating my home this spring is all about adding florals – fresh, faux and floral fabrics. The winters are pretty gray here in Seattle, so when springtime finally arrives, I am always craving a little bit of color. I’ve added a few new thrifted items as well, and I will point those out as we go.
Entry
A simple wreath on the front door hints at what is inside. I found it at the thrift store for a few dollars. I removed a tattered and worn red Christmas bow, fluffed and straightened the leaves, and added some faux magnolia blooms here and there. I cut up a faux magnolia stem I had from IKEA and tucked the blooms in around the leaves for a fresh spring look.
I had to share this view from our front porch. I’m so inspired by all of the beautiful pink flowers this time of year. Our evergreen clematis is just on the verge of bursting into full bloom.
Dining Room and Kitchen
This is the view that greets you as you enter my home. Our entry, living room, dining room, and kitchen are one open space.
I switched out my dining room rug with a vintage one I found at the Goodwill. It has muted greens, pinks and soft beige tones. I also recently changed the stools in the kitchen. A Restoration Hardware outlet opened near me, and I found the wood counter stools for a great deal. I really like the warmth the wood adds to the mostly white kitchen.
I brought home all of these pretty florals from Trader Joe’s. They have wonderful seasonal florals, and are so affordable, too.
The various shades of pink and creamy whites were the inspiration for my spring decor.
I added a few stems to a blue and white ironstone pitcher I just found at the Goodwill. I always grab old French herb and mustard pots when I find them.
The vintage Bohemian-American cookbook was a gift from my mom. My grandmother gave it to her back in the 50’s. Any other Bohemians out there? I make apricot dumplings every summer using a recipe from this book.
Snapdragons always remind me of a vintage cottage garden.
Family Room
I carried some touches of pink and floral fabric in to our family room.
My little repurposed shelf is still going strong. It’s fun to change it up a bit with the seasons. I moved the round mirror out, and hung a large clock in its place.
I found the little cream numbered crocks at the Goodwill (I think they are spice containers), and I planted a few small succulents in them. The ceramic milk bottle (also a thrifted find), makes a great vase.
I switched out my artwork with a couple of thrifted pieces.
Thanks so much for joining me on my spring home tour. I’ll leave you here in this cozy little spot by the back door to my garden.
Next on the tour is my sweet friend Kelly from The Tattered Pew. Her home is gorgeous, and you are going to love her spring decor.

You have such a pretty home Susan! It looks so bright and fresh for Spring. I love all fresh flowers too. 🙂 Julie
I always love seeing your pretty house! Your kitchen is just gorgeous – and love that wood chandelier!
I’m loving floral accents this spring too, and yours couldn’t be lovelier! Happy to be touring with you! Blessings, Cecilia @ My Thrift Store Addiction
Thank you so much, Cecilia. I have so enjoyed touring with you – your home and tour are stunning! Susan
Susan, I love everything about your spaces: the colors (you’re my kind of girl), the white kitchen, all the vintage accessories (my heart is beating really fast), and the comfy, relaxed feel of the kitchen and living room. Your photography is awesome too. So happy to be on the spring Home Tour with you.
Your home is just beautiful. The thrifted wreath is so clever and the flowers are so pretty. I have enjoyed doing this tour with you!
Susan your home all dressed up for Spring is just beautiful! I love all of your vintage finds from thrift stores and I also love your new stools! SO bright and airy! You have a true gift for styling my friend!
I just love your home, Susan! I was also super excited to spot you in BHG yesterday!! Congrats 🙂
Oh my goodness Susan! Your home is stunning. I just love how bright and airy it is. Your spring décor is so pretty with the soft pinks and bold blues. Just beautiful! Oh, and that front door wreath….gorgeous
Your home is so pretty Susan, especially decorated for Spring! I love all the flowers!
I need to come for a visit and go thrifting with you, you find such great things!!! We’ll wear our matching Chucks 🙂
Your home is just beautiful! I love all of the fresh flowers, they add such an easy spring look!
Susan – your home is so bright and cheery and I love all the touches of blue and pops of sweet pink! It’s the perfect Spring home! Thanks for inspiring me.
Everything is so bright and cheery! I know I’d spend hours in that cozy spot and never get anything done. 😉
That cozy spot in your ktchen is my favorite! You have a beautiful home with so many gorgeous details. Bravo!
Let me start by saying what a gorgeous home you have. That kitchen is so bright and fresh. I love it all and all the spring touches you added make this space spectacular.
I can’t get enough of your beautiful house. Great spring decor!
I’m Bohemian (or a Bohunk, as we liked to tease my mom). My mother’s maiden name is Pechacek, and her parents are from Austria, which I think was part of what was once Bohemia.. I don’t think I’ve “met” another Bohemian. 😀 The illustration on your little cookbook is priceless. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
Susan, again you have created an amazing, fresh and beautiful space, this time for Spring! You have the ability for finding a “diamond in the rough” all the time in your thrifting, then turning it into something everyone would love to have on their front door or under their dining table! Your styling is impeccable. The only thing missing is a framed copy of the new issue of American Farmhouse.
Totally gorgeous! I love using spring as a reason to bring in a touch of pink. Also, the new barstools are perfect.
Thanks, Christina! I am really loving adding small touches of pink with florals and fabrics. It’s a great way to enjoy the color, and can easily be changed with the seasons.
I just have to start with wow!!! I love every detail of your beautiful home and it’s decorated so beautifully. That kitchen!!! I can’t get over it. Your flowers are gorgeous and I love the repurposed shelf full of vintage goodness.
Thank you so much, Melissa! I know you are a vintage loving junker just like me, ha! I am so happy to have been on this tour with you. Susan
I am new to your blog and love how you incorporate pink. Your home is beautiful and thanks for sharing!! I’m definitely checking out the other homes on tour!!
Thank you, Barbara. I have been slowly adding touches of pink to my home, and I love it, especially for spring. I am so happy you stopped by. Enjoy the tour! Susan

What a nice spring home! Especially I like the pop color of the pink Magnolia stem in the vase! It’s faux or fresh? Where did you get that from if it’s Faux ?
Thanks so much, Wendy! The magnolia stem is faux, and I got it from Crate and Barrel. Susan
I love this! I have always loved wood on white! This looks so calming! Beautiful!! Boho fans? Yes! You must another day share the insides of the Bohemian-American Cookbook!! I’d so love to see all the Treasures inside it!! ❤️❤️❤️
