Modern Farmhouse Spring Decor For The Living Room | Front Living Room Tour 2021

I cant' believe it's been a year now since I made my front living room a complete white box! ha! I added all the board and batten into this room, painted the ceilings and every wall from beige to white last spring.  The only thing left beige was the carpet! Funny thing, we saved all the extra laminate flooring from the rest of our house in plans of ripping out this carpet, and putting it in here too. That was 4 years ago 🙈

The weather is kind of trying to get warmer, so that means it's time for some spring decor around here. This room has evolved over this past year to become my office and home school room. It also still functions as a basic living room, a guest room and play room! It pretty much does allll the things...besides important indoor plumbing aspects :)

Spring decor to me is light and bright with accents of greens and lavender. I still keep the blankets and pillows and all the layers. These stay year around for me. The decor that changes for me per season is the greenery and the types of pillows. Sweater pillows tend to go out around spring time and of course, all the winter greens. Lavender makes a strong appearance throughout my house. This year, so does all the trailing or falling greens. 

For my spring mantel decor, I kept my main stays, such as the candles and books. I then added this beautiful garland...yes, that's garland! I found this garland from Hobby Lobby. It only took one piece to get this look. Since this is a none working fireplace, obviously, I added the book pages in the back and placed some candlesticks in the front. The candlesticks have been bought throughout the years from different places, and actually ended up matching pretty good! I switched out my normal sweater pillows for these cute tassel ones, also from Hobby Lobby.

For my dough bowl on my bench, I added a galvanized white pale with some faux lavender. I used another garland as the filler along with a wicker ball and some looks pages from a book. I love dough bowl decor, it's a fun thing to change throughout the seasons! Also, this bench houses all the play dishes and fake food. I love it in here because of it's size and it's duel functionality.

This little space below is one of my favorite areas right now. This is a testament that it's okay to change something you loved...because maybe you'll love the new thing even more! I took my lamp off of this table along with all my other favorite decor around Christmas time. I found this cute printer's tray, printers drawers, and got this beautiful arch and needed a place to put them! This was the only area in my house that hadn't changed recently...so I decided to move everything off and start new. I was sad to see the old stuff go and actually had plans to put it right back! Then magic happened. Everything look amazing; I love this space even more than before.

This vignette is the perfect collection of my vintage finds along with new things I just had to have :) As you can see, it's all about the layers! I used to be a minimalist.... not really, but in terms of decorating, I would call it that. I didn't understand the beauty of layering. I look back on old pictures, and they just seem off. Usually the problem was the lack of layering! 

One of the most recent additions to this room was moving out all the homeschool stuff, and adding this refurbished china cabinet. In reality, the homeschooling never happened on the desks that used to be in the corner. It became a catch-all and a huge eyesore. I moved that out, and moved in this amazing cabinet. You can see the full before and after of this space....and the awful in-between...at this post (click here to view). 

This room has come together perfectly for me. It's my oasis during this crazy time. I come in here to escape....when it's not full of work and homeschool stuff :) When it is, it's the place to shut the barn doors and ignore! ha! 

And because before and after pictures are the best! This is legit how I decorated it when we first moved into our home over 10 years ago. Yes, this is the same room. Yes, I blogged about this room looking like this. This looks soooo small....and sooo beige. There's no character in here at all. It's amazing what some molding on the wall can do, and the addition of a few select, special pieces :) We all have to start somewhere. It took me years...years to find my decorating groove and style. Sometimes it just comes for some people, and sometimes it takes time and a lot of curated stuff :) 

There's still lots going on over here even if I don't post as often as I used to! Be sure to join me on social media for lots of sneak peaks and behind the scenes :)
