Welcome to our 2020 spring home tour! I actually had the bulk of our home switched over to spring fairly early this year. But, then with all the craziness that ensued this past month or so, I never got around to finishing it or photographing it. So, I did a little “shopping” around our house and I finally forced myself to wrap it up this week! I figured if I didn’t get to it fairly soon, I’d be making a few more updates for summer in the coming weeks 😉

I tried to stick fairly closely to the spring design boards I made awhile back, but did have to make some last minute changes and do a few swaps. But, be sure to check those out if you’re looking for even more spring decorating inspiration!
As we enter our front door, I actually didn’t change a single thing from last year. I still love the feeling of this space and figured why mess with something I already love!

Our entryway hallway looks a bit different, though, from last year’s tour! We finally replaced the old bench that had two broken legs with this pillowtop bench. The cats love sitting here and watching the birds in the trees outside the courtyard.
The block print pillow was one of my few purchases from the Studio McGee x Target line and I knew it would work perfectly here! I still plan to swap out the insert (love that they did a zipper closure!) but I really love the print!
There’s something about greenery (real or faux) that just makes me so excited for spring! It adds so much life to a space! These paint dipped vases are a splurge but are some of my favorite purchases in all of 2019!
Now that our cane cabinet was moved to the office, this raffia console table (similar here) has been the perfect replacement! I think the scale actually works a lot better here too. I still need to actually style that lower shelf area but for now, it totally works!

As we move into our kitchen, my one and only true change was adding this striped rug. I think it might be my favorite one I’ve ever used in here!
I can’t wait until this view includes greenery and flowers outside the windows! We aren’t that far away!
This little white dot vase was a fun addition to our countertops! I’m going to try and get some fresh basil at our local nursery and add it here soon!
KITCHEN SOURCES: Counter Stools | Basket Pendant Lights | Striped Rug | White Serving Board | Ridged Vase | Faux Greenery Stems | White Dot Vase | Similar Faux Asparagus Fern | Sunday Suppers Cookbook | Similar Recipe Book Stand | Island Paint Color: Benjamin Moore Providence Blue
I haven’t been able to show this angle of our pantry much since I never used to have a wide angle lens. It’s been so fun to capture these “unseen” angles over the past few weeks. But that tall set of cabinets in our pantry is where we keep our small vacuum cleaner, mops, broom, cleaning supplies, etc. We call it our “locker”.
It was fun to refresh this space a bit for spring too!
Like I said, it’s amazing how something as simple as a bit of faux greenery or flowers can totally up the “spring” factor in a room! Fresh clippings from outside would just as easily do the trick!
PANTRY SOURCES: Beaded Light Fixture | Cabinet Knobs and Pulls | Wood Boards (Homegoods – old) | Marble Tray (HomeGoods – old) | Paint Dipped Vase | Faux Viburnum Stems (similar here) | Motion Sensor | Blue Salt & Pepper Grinders | Rug (old Dash & Albert second-hand find)
Our living room was the first we tackled for spring this year. So I know you’ve likely seen many of these shots before. But adding the striped rug completely changed the overall vibe in here for the better!
Since we’re home a lot more now, I added these striped throws to the back of our spindle chairs. They’re a great weight for spring, but also help protect the white fabric when Kurtis sits there. We’re starting to learn his dark denim isn’t a great combo for the fabric.
It’s always so fun to change out the “art” on our Frame TV for the season. This one leans more towards summer, but I liked the colors and the beach vibe so I went with it!

I shared our Easter dining room a few weeks ago but wanted to include it in our home tour as well! This is the last tour you’ll be seeing those linen chairs in here, now that all of our cane chairs have arrived. I can’t wait to show you the new look soon! These dining room photos were all taken by my friend Mandy McGregor Photography.
I’m so happy with my decision to hang our giant serving boards on the wall in here! Now I finally feel like I have a place to “store” them, but they also end up working as art too! Since we use them so frequently, this makes them super accessible!
DINING ROOM SOURCES: Dining Table | Linen Dining Chairs | Striped Rug | Hutch | Chandelier (look for less here) | Abstract Art | Buffet Table | Mirror | Faux Cypress Topiary | Dipped Handle Serving Boards
As we head back down the hallway, I only made a few minor updates in our powder bath. I pulled this striped rug from storage last minute (hence the roll marks) but love the colors for spring!
I was so excited to take a full shot of this room now that I have a wide angle lens. In fact, I was so excited, I didn’t notice all the wet kitty paw marks streaked all over the cabinets until I went to edit photos. So we’re keeping it real and I’m sharing it with paw streaks and all 😉
POWDER BATH SOURCES: Star Chandelier | Star Sconces | Striped Rug | Similar Mirror | Meyer Lemon Hand Soap | Faucet | Similar Olive Topiaries
As we move into our mudroom, directly opposite of the powder bath, I’m loving the little updates I made in here earlier this year! I used more of my favorite gallery frames and filled them with some favorite vacation photos printed in black and white. The pillows are ones I’ve had for a few years and used in new ways!
MUDROOM SOURCES: Lantern Chandelier | Striped Pillow | Similar Paisley Pillow | Gallery Frames | Faux Viburnum Stems (similar here)
Heading upstairs, I also made a few swaps in our den!
In my design boards, I had planned to use these hummingbird pillows in our guest bedroom. But I ended up loving them more in here! I mixed them with a few pillows I already had on hand and love the fresh new look! I actually found the fabric on eBay for a steal and made the pillows on my own. But you can buy them already made from this Etsy seller.
Three fun facts. I don’t think I’ve shown this view below since the room reveal nearly a year ago. Second fun fact? The Christmas tree is still right behind me in this photo from yesterday. I told Kurtis this has to be the week we take it to the basement! Third fun fact? My sewing machine needle broke on me yesterday when I was trying to finish the last bird pillow. So, that pillow on the right is only half sewn and I had to fake wrap it around a pillow insert until a new needle arrives. I wasn’t going to let anything else derail my spring tour post going live today!
I’m still loving my hat wall with hats from various vacations and memories! It not only looks cute, but it’s an easy way to store them!

I kept most of the details in our bedroom the same from winter, but added this paisley lumbar pillow. The little pop of blue instantly makes it feel so much more like spring in here!
So excited we finally got the dresser last fall so I can finally show this side of the room again!
MASTER BEDROOM SOURCES: Similar Upholstered Bed | Buffalo Check Bedding | Paisley Lumbar Pillow | Wood Bead Chandelier | Bench | Jute Rug | Cane Nightstands | USB Ceramic Lamp | Striped Blackout Curtains | Gold Curtain Rod | Faux Olive Tree | Dresser | Round Mirror | Faux Eucalyptus Stems
In our main guest bedroom, I kept the winter plaid I used last year. But with a few other minor swaps, it seems to still fit the current season!
I feel like this beach abstract art was made for this room! I love it so much and couldn’t be happier with it! I love the little injection of color it adds to this space!
GUEST BEDROOM SOURCES: Upholstered Bed | Windowpane Plaid Bedding | Plaid Lumbar Pillow | Bead Chandelier | Striped Rug | Similar Raffia Nightstands | White Ceramic Lamps (come as a set of two) | Abstract Beach Art | Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree (this is the 5’4″ size) | Mirrors
And I’d love to show you our other guest bedroom but it is currently serving as Kurtis’ temporary home office. I wince every time I peek in, so I figure it’s just better to close the door and walk away for the time being 😉
I hope you enjoyed our 2020 spring home tour!

Ok so those chairs in the living room ? Gah i am in ❤️❤️❤️ Tell me about them ?!! We just moved into a new home and I still have boxes that need to be un packed . Your photos are inspiring me to get on it . If I post a pic to you of a dining room table and hutch I’ve had for years would you give me your thoughts on what you would do ? It is pine from the broyhill Fontana line . Very 90s . 😂I go back and forth paint it / sell it and be done … opinión please 🥰Brenda – Jax Florida
We love the frame of the chairs, but the fabric we chose isn’t holding up well (Bevin Natural). Pottery Barn sells the exact chair but also offers Performance fabric options, so if I had to do it over again, I would have gone that route. And I don’t offer specific design advice at this time, but if you want to shoot me an email with the picture of the furniture I could let you know my thoughts on if you should paint or not 🙂
Awesome ! Thank you for sharing the chair insight I just looked them up on wayfair . I’ll send you a email ☺️
Your Spring Home was a lovely distraction. What size are your gallery frames and where did you purchase your duvet covers in both bedrooms? Stay well.
Thank you so much Anna! Our gallery frames are the 8×10 size. Overall I think they’re 2’x2′. The duvet covers are linked in the sources for each room and the inserts are from The Company Store and I believe Target on the guest bedroom one (I’ve had that one several year). I hope that helps!
HI. I loved this home tour. It was just lovely. I was wondering if you can share the source for your roman shades in your living room area and bedroom. Thanks…I love your work. Lisa
Thank you so much Lisa! The ones in our living room I purchased locally through a designer. They’re actually kind of a nightmare from a functionality standpoint so I wouldn’t recommend them. The one in our guest bedroom was from Lowe’s (just the brand they carry on the shelves in stores)!
Are you happy with your duvet covers?? Did you go bigger or smaller with the comforter inside? I have never used a duvet before but thinking I will try one so it will be easier to clean, but have heard mixed reviews on them??
So looking for your opinion. Thanks and I love your house!!!
Yes – We love them! With cats we feel like it’s one of the few options we have, because it is so much easier to just wash the cover than have to always wash a full comforter! And our inserts are the same size as our mattress and the cover. Most nowadays have ties on the insert and a loop on the cover so you can tie them in place on the corners pretty easily. I hope that helps!
love the color of your floors. looks rich without being too too dark. can you tell me if they are wood or laminate, what color and the manufacturer? also, how are they in showing regular traffic on the floor, are you constantly swiffering and sweeping to keep them looking good?
Thank you so much! Our floors are oak hardwood. Unfortunately I don’t have any of the manufacturer info because we are the second owners and the remnants left behind don’t have any marking on them. The house is 12 years old now, so they are definitely showing signs of wear. We can usually fix a lot of it with a wood marker. My biggest complaint is that they show EVERYTHING. With all of our windows, every little piece of dust, cat fur, etc. is super easy to see. I would likely never go this dark again. Our white oak hardwoods in our office are SO much easier to keep clean (or at least appear cleaner) 😉
Is the bench fabric in your master bedroom blue or charcoal? It looks blue in the photo but the only option at PB looks more like a charcoal or black?
It’s blue! Their stock photos are pretty terrible at depicting the color 😉 If you’re interested, shoot me an email and I can send you a closeup photo so you can see the color better!
Thanks for sharing your home! I have looked at, and even have, some of the same pieces, but it’s great to see them used in different rooms and different ways. Very inspiring to see them in your rooms since I am very slow at making decisions! Thanks for sharing your creativity!
Thank you for the comment! I love hearing that! I always love seeing how others style the same pieces too. It definitely gets the creative juices flowing!
Your home tour certainly was a lovely distraction! You said you were redoing your dining room…new chairs. Wondering if there was a problem with the old linen chairs not holding up well? I’ve had my eye on that style.
Thank you! And actually the chairs look basically like new even after all these years! The bigger issue is that they’re a bit too formal for our space since we do most of our entertaining in the summer months and this is our only dining space. I talk a bit more about it in this post: https://lifeonvirginiastreet.com/coastal-dining-chairs-dining-room-thoughts. We’ve been super happy with them, but we find they just don’t get used like they should because they aren’t a great fit for our needs. Which is too bad because they are so beautiful in person!
Your home is beautiful! Love the spindle chairs in your family room. What color fabric did you choose? Is the wood a true white?
Thank you! Our fabric is the Bevin Natural which is pretty close to white (maybe one shade more warm). The spindles ar definitely more of an ivory though!
Hi Sarah, I love your style! everything is just so lovely and cozy. I was wondering if you can share the source for the small tray that you have your soap, brush etc on the kitchen island. Thanks!
Thank you! I love it so much I have two of them. They are pretty much indestructible. Here is the link for them (they come in three sizes – this is the smallest): https://shopstyle.it/l/bfZma.
Now I just have to buy everything you have 😍 your home is BEAUTIFUL! What color navy blue did you use for the bathroom cabinet?
Thank you so much! And that color is Benjamin Moore Hale Navy 🙂
Where did you get the white pot on your dresser in your master bedroom?
It’s from Pottery Barn but has been sold out for about a year. Here is a really close alternative! https://shopstyle.it/l/bgco0
Hello! This was so inspiring! Thank you for your time. I noticed the blue striped ottomans in your den were not highlighted and said ‘At Home’… did you make them yourself? I LOVE them.
Thanks Crystal! And At Home is actually a big box home decor store. I’m not sure if they’re nationwide or not, but unfortunately they don’t offer online shopping!
I love your front door. Where did you find it?
Hi Sarah,
Your style is so peaceful and comfortable! Do you mind sharing which fabric you went with on the Harper bed in your guest room? And how is it holding up? I love the look and have been considering this bed for our master for a while, but am concerned about practicality with two small children. Thank you!
Thank you so much! And since this is just for our guest bedroom, I went with the basic white twill because it was the cheapest and made that quickest! If it’s for your master, you may want to try a Performance fabric. There is a lot of good fabric recommendations in this post with my sofa review if you check the comments too: https://lifeonvirginiastreet.com/pottery-barn-york-sofa-review/. I hope that helps!
What paint color is your all the white walls?
It’s Benjamin Moore Simply White 🙂
Hi Sarah, can you please let me know how your sofa’s are holding up. I am about to order the same and just want make sure that you haven’t had any problems with the fabric or sofa’s. Thanks, Janet
We still love them and they’ve held up really well! There hasn’t been anything we haven’t been able to get off of them either with just water and a paper towel. You can read my full review here if that helps! https://lifeonvirginiastreet.com/pottery-barn-york-sofa-review/
Love the kitchen island. What are the dimensions?
So beautiful! What color is on your bedroom walls? Thanks!
Thank you! It’s Valspar September Fog 🙂
Can you share the paint brand and color in your powder room? Thanks!
Sure! The walls are Behr Castle Path and the vanity is Benjamin Moore Hale Navy 🙂
