an unconventional home
Easter is less than 2 weeks away and we are officially in full egg-decorating, Bunny-welcoming, spring-loving mode at the Woodwards. You’ve gotta start early to pack it all in, am I right?
Last week, we shared our colorful spring kitchen and dining room. Today, I’m sharing our simple mantel and living room. They provide the perfect springtime feel – with plenty of whimsical touches.
I love a colorful home all year. But there’s something about spring that makes me want to amp it up.
Maybe it’s living in the Midwest. We spend winter covered in white and early spring surrounded by brown. I’m just jonesing for a little burst of color. Yellow daffodils. Pink tulips. A bluebird. SOMETHING already. For goodness sakes.
I can’t control that. But, I can control what’s in my home. And that means plenty of color.
It is going to be over 50 degrees in the Midwest today. And only in the Midwest, this means that everyone is wearing shorts and storing away any winter jackets.
It’s just how we do it. It’s a little bit of wishful thinking. But we are also tough and desperately yearning for spring. The Vitamin D deficiency is real, friends.
That means it’s also the perfect time to get some spring wreath inspiration. In addition to my spring wreath, you can also stop by a gaggle of other talented bloggers sharing their wreaths for spring. I love all the ideas. (See them all at the end of the post.)
I don’t care what that silly groundhog says … spring is coming.
I’ve been slowly adjusting our home from winter to spring – and I’m excited to be sharing a fun tutorial to make simple giant paper flowers for your spring home. These are great for this time of year, but they also make a beautiful statement all year – for nurseries, bedrooms, playrooms and PARTIES.
What’s that? February?
I’m sorry. It just turned 2018 yesterday so I’m not sure how it’s already the second month of the year.
Decorating for holidays is one of my “things.” It’s just something I do. And with kids, there’s just something so fun about changing up the house for every holiday. Henry loves it as much as I do.
So, Valentine’s Day is officially IN THE HOUSE. (Do the kids still say that?)
At NewlyWoodwards, my biggest goal is to encourage you to create an unconventional home. And I want that to happen without sacrificing your life, family or budget.
I promise it’s possible. And if you are new here, there are a few things I want you to know.
