ADD FRESH BLOOMS
Ann over at On Sutton Place is showing us how a simple Tulip Arrangement in pretty white pitchers can set the mood and tone for the entire space. So simple yet elegant and charming. If you would like… there are tons of wonderful Faux Tulips out there because unfortunately… fresh ones are beautiful but have a short term life.
The Happy Happy Nester sure knows the power of fresh blooms… how gorgeous do they look!!!
This pin simply shows how a simple vase filled with Hydrangeas bring the space alive! New throw pillows on the chairs is a great refresh too!
We had to revisit the Happy Happy Nester and check out how she adorned her sofa’s side table with this beautiful floral arrangement along with a collection of votives. It screams Spring in a very Cottage Farmhouse way. Believe it or not… those branched blooms are handmade and there is a paper flower tutorial is waiting for you. The addition of the basket holding the pillow is such a great touch… LOVE everything about this space.
How about flowers in a basket! This little chair vignette is picture perfect and would freshen up any corner in your Living room! Jamie from Anderson + Grant has an amazing touch for Farmhouse Whimsy! I feel like that little corner will take me to a Secrete Garden!
SPRING MANTEL
A simple glass jar filled with beautiful Lilacs like this on over at Rocky Hedge Farm will bring Spring into your Living Room instantly! Add it to your Mantel and it’s magic!
Jamie over at Anderson + Grant comes up with such gorgeous arrangements. Here she has found the most perfect galvanized vases ever. Talk about fresh Farmose Style. I love how she has tipped over one and has them lying on a scarf. This shows you have fabulous faux tulips can be! With a few accessories you can create a Spring Time Magical Mantel like this one
Liz Marie is letting those April Showers in but that’s ok… I mean… how gorgeous is this Mantel. Now let your imagination take you to your own design based on this one.
Marianne over at Thistlewood Farms is sharing some fabulous Spring Time Mantel Ideas. This is one that I love because it is so simple yet so peaceful. Just that little touch of green says Spring is here! Come on over and check out all the other ways you can add Spring to your Mantel!
We are back visiting Liz Marie (she is truly a Princess of Mantels)… they are all so beautiful! This time she themed it A Spring Greenhouse Mantel. It just all comes together. Many of the items are right in our own home. This picture acts as a wonderful recipe to success… just add our own version of everything and you will have something totally fresh and awesome.
Courtney over at French Country Cottage brings a touch of French Farmhouse Spring Time to her Mantel… simple Ranunculus Blooms… glass bottles and some old books create a feeling of romance in Spring! So simple! A few extra fallen petals… perfection!
Mantels can be super simple like this one on Home Ideas… maybe you have some pretty old Tea Tins or other Tins about that are just crying for some Baby’s Breath? Stack them on your favorite books and maybe shop the house a bit for some other little elements. It doesn’t have to cost you a time! A great place to find some of these items if you don’t have them is at your local Thrift Store… it is always filled with surprises
Loving what is happening over at Twelve On Main. All kinds of textures coming together from a Tobacco Basket to a wreath of twine and paper… books tied in a bundle… flowers in pitchers and an architectural piece is the icing on the cake. Then you will see when you visit that there is a double aged doily garland for even more Spring time drama! ENJOY!
Slipcovers
Let’s start with Slipcovers. It is amazing how a clean… crisp slipcover can change up a room. When you use a neutral you can then add to it with whatever colors and patterns you love. They are relatively affordable and for those of you that love a challenge… there are many Slipcover Tutorials. This is Liz Marie’s gorgeous couch and she is sharing some of her favorite resources… so check them out. Now… let’s take a look at a few simple DIY Slipcover Ideas!
If you are truly ambitious you might want to check out Miss Mustard Seed’s 6 part Slipcover Tutorial. The end results… well a picture is worth a thousand words.
If you have an ottoman or find one in a Thrift Store… you can create a gorgeous ottoman like this Sincerely Marie did. It also doubles as a Coffee Table. What a wonderful look that might be exactly what your Living Room needed.
Stylizing Your Coffee Table
Now it’s time to look at a few Coffee Tables Stylized with Farmhouse Style. This is a great way to refresh your space. You can be really creative. If you want … you can even shop your house to put it together and not spend a dime. Let’s check out a few to inspire you.
Don’t you just love it. A simple basket… plus a plant… a vase with blooms for height… some book and a sphere… viola! It’s a great little formula that you can adapt your items to so very easily. You will find tons of Vignettes and other Ideas over at StoneGable.
Books are always a good idea! Maybe a sculpture… a touch of greenery… it’s magic. Hope this gives you tons of inspiration. It really is a stunning Modern Farmhouse Style created over at PureWow!
Come and take a close-up view of this beautiful space. I love how Lauren over at Bless’er House took a large basket and filled it with books and a plant and then added varying heights on either side. If you are shy about creating… take the base idea of one of these table designs and come up with different items of the same size and type. Trust me… you will find your style.
Pillow Styling
Now here is the easiest way to refresh your Sofa… add Throw Pillows! This simple technique can add pattern…texture…design… color and pizzaz all in one.
When I saw this little compilation at Studio McGee of tips on how to Stylize your Pillows… I had to share. First off… how awesome does that Sofa look! They give suggestions on how to choose the right size… patterns… textures and how to mix them up. Great inspiration awaits you. Then the fun part comes… you get to purchase or make some fabulous pillows. One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how everything that you don’t think will look great… looks perfect. Be totally inspired and treat your Sofa and Chairs to some new Throw Pillows.
Adding a Rug
A Rug can change the whole complexion of the room. With one single purchase you can unite everything in the room. Just look at this gorgeous Contemporary Farmhouse Space created by Joanna Gaines. Take note of the Pillow Styling on this Sofa…STUNNING!
This colorful rug over at Thistlewood Farms is the perfect example for pulling an entire room together. I love how it unites the stripes and the different patterns of the pillows and drapes. Total perfection. Treat your Living Room to the rug of your dreams and trust me… it will give it a refresh that you are going to adore! Take note of the Pillow Styling on this Sofa…STUNNING!
Giving a Bookshelf and Updated Look
Sarah Joy loves to freshen up her space by stylizing her shelves with touches of Spring! Just look at this little space of happiness! Do you have a shelf or shelves that would like some Spring time love?
