My bedroom was oddly the last room to get de-christmassed (Yes, I made that word up and somehow probably spelled it wrong anyway haha), yet the first room to get Spring decor. I've been waiting to share it with you because I was waiting on this new bedspread!

 I was so excited to get this on the bed and try it out. I've been eying these beautiful flowing ruffles for months now and they were always sold out in a king size. Then one day, I looked and they were in stock! So, I bought two. Yes. I know. Long story, but one is going back. 

I have recently gotten a lot of questions about all the sources on my bed and it's super hard to cover them all because they are all from different places. So, I'll be sharing the sources for those along with my spring bedroom with you all today.

 I like to keep white on my bed year round because nothing is better than waking up to the sun shining feeling like I'm on a white fluffy cloud. I realized this feeling years ago and have never gone back since. Does it get dirty? Somewhat. I do have a dog that sleeps with us and two kids that usually end up in our bed, but the main pillows here are just for decor...even though they do get jumped on daily. Our nightly pillows are usually tucked underneath all of these when I make the bed so you can't see them. My normal duvet and comforter that is underneath this bedspread is easy to clean. And this bedspread is new, so super white anyway, but when it's not in use making the bed pretty, I fold it up at the end of the bed out of the way.

 Here's a good look at all of it's flowing gloriousness. Yes, I know. I'm a little obsessed :) Would you believe this bedspread and two pillow shams in king were under $100? I know! It's from Lush Decor, and the two places I got it from (I know, I know..two..haha) anyway. Amazon and Target. (I'll have all the links at the bottom of the post to everything else too).

 As for the rest of the bedding. This greyish taupe coverlet was actually a present I got from my friend for my birthday. Amazing friend, right? She got it from Home Goods. I have yet to find it online except on ebay if you want to go that direction. The brand is Inup Home Fine Linens. Sometimes Inup Home items pop up on Amazon, so you can check that too every once in awhile :)

 I switch out my small throw pillow in here often, obviously if you look at the pictures you can tell they aren't the same in all of these :) haha. The more textured one is from Hobby Lobby. The Claude Monet saying is from Living With Amanda. It's the perfect spring accent!...even though I don't have a single none-dead living flower in my house currently :)

The diamond ruffle pillows are from a set from Lush Decor also. You can get them on Amazon too. The other standard ruffle pillows behind those...I know, I know..so many ruffles! Those are from Crane and Canopy.  The euro ruffle shams are from Amazon. 

Here's a really good look at the flowing ruffles of the bedspread. I really wish I could keep it this way, but I need the storage in my bench for all my extra linens and things.

Which do you like better? Bench? No bench?

Now besides my bedding since that's all been covered, here's another view of my faux mantel and fireplace. I updated this with some eucalyptus leaves and candles. I also updated the wood in the middle with some green moss.

Pretty much everything on this tray is from Hobby Lobby. Is it cliche to put a tray on the bed? Yes. I know. But, doesn't it just add that little extra touch? I actually never did this in all my years of blogging, and I finally did this year. I think I'm a fan...it's something more to decorate!

For my nightstands, I kept it pretty much the same as usual. That crooked lamp there (ha!) is from Target. The nightstand is an Ikea hack from a few years ago (tutorial). I decided to line some garland along my headboard since I loved it so much during Christmas. This is just a spring one from Hobby Lobby. Since my headboard is so short, I added the gallery wall above it to give this area some visual height...especially needed because of my vaulted ceilings. 

I accented the room with pops of greens. Besides the garland, the other greens are from Ikea. That is my go to place for most of my faux greenery in my house. And they have the best faux eucalyptus stems :) 

Every season I just hate taking down all the decor....but then when I put up the new season's decor, it just makes me so happy again. Let me know if you have any questions on anything else in the room I failed to mention.

The light fixtures in my house aren't bad. They could definitely be worse. I actually don't mind them too much. I've only switched one fixture because we needed a fan. I bought a beaded chandelier to put in my dining room, but decided that I might want to have it in my front room. Mainly because I didn't think the current one in my dining room is half bad. I did want to update it and give a new look though.  

This was a super simple project. It took just a couple of minutes, and made me happy enough with my current chandelier to keep it in place....well, for the time being anyway :) 

First step was to take off the shades.  I then made sure that every light was a flame tipped candle light to give it a more authentic look.  

 Next, I strung some beads along a jute rope. I used these beads in 3/4 inch from Amazon. The size of the whole thing once finished was about 60"; 12" for each section. 

 I then looped it around the chandelier. I tied the ends together and trimmed the rope so you couldn't see it anymore. I tried the best that I could that each little 'loop' was the same height. 

 And that's it! I didn't do this, but you could go a step further and paint the chandelier to give it an even more drastic change. 

I love simple projects like this that make you happy with what you have without having to go and buy something new :) ....even though I already did, ha! But that's now going in my front room as I mentioned above. Can't wait to get it in there!

I have a spot in my house that changes constantly. Or at least the wall does. I can't ever figure out what to put on this wall in my entry beneath my stairs. Either it's too big and I can't open that bench, or it's too small for the wall. So, yeah. It's ever changing. I decided to try something new for Spring. Wait....what's spring you say? Oh, it's the thing that happens after all this horrid snow and below 0 temps :) haha. I know. Putting this up is jinxing myself. And I totally did. I put this up one day, and the next it snowed 10 inches. Now I'm going to push my luck and decorate the rest of house in the coming days. Bring on the three feet of snow! 

Anyway. Back to my entryway...

Flower Market Pillow Cover: Living With Amanda      Cathedral Window: Tutorial

This Is Us Sign, textured pillow, garland: Hobby Lobby        Fiddle Leaf Fig: Decor Steals       Square Board and Batten: Tutorial 

I added some new additions in here. First thing being a stick. Yep. I actually just put it here for a second since it was an empty wall to lean on. And...I loved it. So, I tucked it behind the basket to incorporate it. Random stick...check! haha. Next, I found this "This is us" sign and couldn't let it go. It's one of those pieces that is almost too big for the wall since I can barely open the bench with the pillows on it. So far though...it hasn't fallen. *knock on wood* I decided to spring this piece up by adding some green garland to it. On to the cathedral window I made last year. I just love this piece, but can't find a living spot for it. I actually had it in my 'spring' box and didn't know where to put it. So, I tried it here. Usually wouldn't do something like this since it feels off. But I think with the gradual 'steps' if you will from the smaller stick, to the sign and then up to the window I think it works. Maybe I'm wrong. But for now, it's staying! 

Here's the view looking at the door. I never know which way to decorate this bench. The pillows only face one way. I love walking by this area during the day with the pillows looking at me. But, I also know it's more inviting coming in to the face of the pillows. What do you think? 

As for the pillows. Even though I rarely have flowers in my house, I just fell in love with this Flower Market pillow. I paired it with some neutral stripes and texture with the other two pillows.

Every time I look at the stairs in these pictures I want to rip off the carpet and paint them white! I would have to add a runner down the middle for my littles, but I totally think this might be my next big project! What do you think? White or the color of my floors? Those are my options. ...or leave it. I guess that's an option also...and definitely the option my husband would pick. You know...the whole leave things be and don't ever ever ever change a thing. Yeah. haha. 

What area do you decorate for spring first? I guess the bigger question...when? I just got so sick of my winter decor...even though I loved my flocked trees. I figured 3 months of that is enough. I needed to keep it "magical". The magic gets lost when you have it around for half the year! haha. Plus, the whole 10 inches of snow thing is bugging me. I sure live in the wrong place! I need 80 degree temps! :)
