Adding some Spring Colors In our Kitchen and Family Room



I've been wanting to add some of this seafoam color in here for quite a while now. I figured I would wait until after the holidays once I was ready for some cheerful spring-like touches. One of the things I love most about sticking with a neutral palette is that it is so easy to switch around a few pillows or accessories and get a new look. It obviously doesn't change things that much, but it does help me look around and feel like the promise of spring is on the horizon!




If you are new here, this is what this room looked like when we moved in this past summer:

  1. What was painted first, chair rail or wall? My husband is inquiring. We have a chair rail in our bedroom and we're thinking of painting the stained wood.

    1. Hi Sandy! We actually didn't paint the walls in this room, but in the other ones that had the chair rail in we always paint that and the trim first.

  14. Jennifer, Are those galvanized baskets in your kitchen pretty sturdy? I was debating on purchasing them and wondered if they were flimsy or not. Thank!
