I don’t know about you, but I’ve been battling cabin fever in a big way and I’m beyond ready to start talking about spring!
And that’s one subject that my warm weather loving self couldn’t be happier with!
If you’ve been following me for a while, you may have already seen the spring decorations in my cottage style spring breakfast room. This was the last look at my breakfast room I completed its makeover.
But let me show you around the rest of my home! After all of the fussiness of Christmas, I was ready for a very simplified look.
We’ll start at my front porch, where I took a daring step and left my front door naked (aka wreath-less) for the season.
Shocking I know, but I’ve been enjoying a more pared down look around the house lately. haha!
We have a wide front porch with a pair of Adirondack gliders at each end where we love to sit and enjoy the scenery and birds flying in and out of the birdhouse, that’s out in the front yard, this time of year.
The gliders were originally stained, but we painted them white recently, which completely changed the look of the porch and gives it the cottage decor style vibe that I’m working toward.
I added blue and white outdoor rugs and some pretty pillows to create a cozy conversation area on each end of the porch.
I also added a new blue and white rug in the foyer but pared down the amount of decor in this space.
All I really need on the entry chest, other than the lamp, is a pretty blue and white planter filled with a faux fern.
I used to have two diy benches on one wall in my foyer, but I replaced one of them with this great basket filled with a few of the umbrellas that my mom collected over the years.
The whole area says spring to me, plus I get a sweet reminder of my mom every time I go to my front door.
The blue and white decorations continue into the living room. I’ve added a few blue accessories to the entertainment center, and the coffee table and added a few new pillows too.
Mixing patterns is one of my favorite things to do, so I’m especially in love with the Jacobean floral print pillows mixed with the large beige and white patterned pillow and the blue and white plaid!
My favorite leafy stems look great in a pretty woven blue outdoor planter (from HomeGoods) on the mantel. The height of the stems adds lots of interest and drama in a room like mine that has a two story ceiling.
You enter the breakfast room/kitchen from our family room. Because of the refresh I’ve been working on there are already some changes in here, but I still have several things left on my room-refresh-to-do list.

My biggest hold-up is the upholsterer. I want him to rework my chairs for me, but I can’t get in until sometime this summer, which is such a bummer.
From the kitchen, let’s go into the dining room where I’ve kept things on the simple side once again.
This room also sports a new blue and white rug. By the way, it can be tricky to use multiple rugs in rooms that open to one another. I actually wrote a post about that exact subject that you might find helpful.
You’ll notice that the artwork above my small gray chest has a bit of dark pink in it. I don’t really decorate with pink at all, but I thought it would be pretty to add just a tiny bit of it in the room for the spring.
I searched and searched for just the right pillows to use and was about to give up when I ran into these as I was leaving HomeGoods one day.
The only other pink in the room is the pink hydrangeas that I added to an arrangement on the sideboard. Even though I don’t normally decorate with pink, those little pops add lots of spring life to the room.
From the dining room, we’ll go into our home office, where I added a few more blue and white pillows. The abstract artwork on the wall is one of my favorite pieces!
Our guest bedroom got a little blue and white sprucing up too. I’ll give you a little peek at it, but I’ll save the rest of the room for another day. winkwink

I love all of this. The combination of blue and white has always been a favorite. Thank you for sharing!
I love all your spring touches, Suzy! And you know I’m loving all the blue 💙
I’m always looking forward to seeing how you decorate the shelves in your dining room. You’ve really mastered that, they look amazing as always!
Thanks for being part of this fun tour!
Wonderful post!! Thanks for sharing.
Suzy – you know how much we love blue and white! Your home is absolutely beautiful and Spring decor makes it doubly so. You have such a keen eye for details and subtle touches of the season. Enjoy the fabulous weather!
Suzy, it’s always a treat to get a tour of your home. I love all of your blue accents, especially your shelves. Your mom’s umbrella collection is so pretty and I’m sure you’re enjoying them being at your door. Can’t wait to see the reveal of your guest bedroom. I’m loving the little sneak peek!
Your home is beautiful and I am loving all the touches of blue. The woven basket on the mantle is perfect. So many pretty things to look at. Nice touring with you this week! Happy Spring!
Suzy, I am loving the blue and white cottage makeover that you are slowly giving your home! And that it’s not overdecorated with too many tchochkes. You definitely have a talent for styling with just the right amount. Your mother’s umbrellas are such a cute decorating touch for spring and I love the pop of pink flowers in the dining room. Happy Spring my friend!!
Hi Suzy,
Your home looks wonderful, so warm and inviting! I love the changes you have made. My home is also decorated with lots of blue and white and I’ll never become tired of it, although changing my accessories is my favorite thing to do. Thanks so much for your ideas and inspiration.
Love the blue and white. I have just downsized to a new (to me) home, and I intend to use a lot of blue and white. Your painted pieces are beautiful; I especially love the blue chest in the foyer. Can you tell me if you painted these pieces? The finish is lovely. If you painted, what kind of paint did you use?
I’m just swooning over those shelves with all your blue collections on them. Just beautiful my friend! Happy to be hopping with you today.
Your home is beautiful. I especially like the arrangement with the pink hydrangeas and its container.
What a fabulous variety of blues! That Mackenzie-Childs is calling my name and let’s not even start with that wood bead chandelier!!!!! Can I just move in? LOL Great design and thank you for sharing!
Suzy, Your home looks so cozy and inviting! Blue and white is such a classic color combination, and I love how you introduced a few pink accents for Spring. I always enjoy seeing how you’ve decorated the shelves and sideboard in the breakfast room for each season. Your blue and white pottery looks lovely! I love the basket of colorful umbrellas by the door and how you’ve incorporated them into the decor (spring showers!). What a wonderful way to remember you mom. It was nice touring with you. Pinned!
I’m a huge fan of blue and white and cottage style and I really enjoyed seeing the updated you made for Spring!
Suzy I always look forward to taking your tours! Your spring touches and pops of blue and white speak to my heart. You have such a gorgeous style! Loved your porch too! Pinned!
Your home looks lovely! I love all the subtle touches and how you have pulled it all together into a cohesive look that is anything but boring. Truly a wonderful style.
Suzy, your spring home tour is just as lovely as I imagined it would be! Love all your blue and white inspiration. I also noticed your little changes to the entryway with the basket and your mom’s umbrellas. What a special touch!
Blue and white is my favorite color combination in decor and I love how you added it into your.
Happy Spring
Oh my goodness, Suzy, IT IS GORGEOUS!!! Every space! From porch to Guest Room is casual elegance, stunningly pulled together and presents a breath of fresh air. In. Every. Room.
How beautiful! How inspiring!
I think you have captured your true self and showed us how to do it also. Thank you, thank you.
Your home is always so beautiful and welcoming! I love all of your touches of blue and white for Spring! It is a joy to be on this tour with you. Happy Spring!
