SPRING HOME TOUR

SPRING HOME TOUR 2016 HOSTED BY COUNTRY LIVING MAGAZINE
 
Spring in my area is such a beautiful season… so short lived too! So, I’m making the most of this blooming, bursting, chirping, egg-cracking, nesting, green, warm, breezy time of the year. Let’s open up the windows and let that gorgeous and welcomed fresh air in. It’s time to tuck a few pretty signs of the season in our homes and celebrate! I like to keep spring decor simple and sweet! Today I’m sharing part of my downstairs cleaned, spiffed up and ready for spring… C’mon in, I’ve been waiting for you!

SPRING HOME TOUR 2016 HOSTED BY COUNTRY LIVING MAGAZINE

Please get cozy I have lots of pictures today… lots and lots of pictures!

Today is FARMHOUSE FRIDAY! The farmhouse girls are so thrilled to be participating in a HOME TOUR hosted by COUNTRY LIVING MAGAZINE! What a thrill to be working with Country Living! 

Please stop by all the pretty Spring Tours at the end of this post.

SPRING HOME TOUR 2016 HOSTED BY COUNTRY LIVING MAGAZINE

Let’s start at the front of StoneGable! Welcome to the living room.

My living room is more classic than farmhouse in it’s design and style. StoneGable is a modern America farmhouse. I like to think of my style as refined country living! But it is country living non the less. And our farmhouse inspired home certainly influences the way I decorate! 

Light pours into the window and french door. I often find the living room hard to photograph. This is the lightest and brightest room in my home. 

You will find me in the living room reading or entertaining.

The living room will be going through some small changes between now and early summer. Make sure to stop back to see what we will be working on!

Here’s a view that you probably have not seen before. It gives you a little perspective of how StoneGable is laid out. I’m standing in front of and to the left of the Curlacue chest in the living room.

Let’s walk through the foyer to the dining room. 
 
SPRING HOME TOUR 2016 HOSTED BY COUNTRY LIVING MAGAZINE
 
Our dining room was the first room we tackled in our on going total house makeover. We literally gut every room from floor to ceiling as we update them. We are now working on our main hall bathroom. Bobby actually did all the plumbing. But I digress…
 
Since we finished the dining room makeover about 4 years ago the dining room is still evolving! Are we ever really done decorating? This room has a formal rustic luxe feel that I’m so comfortable with. Over half the elements in this room are DIY projects.
 
This spring, the concrete table is embellished with hammered silver and glass hurricanes that are filled with softly colored eggs and twiggy branches filled with white cherry blossoms.
 
Flanking the hurricanes are mercury glass candlesticks. I am a huge fan of mercury glass!

Let’s head to the family room. The back half of StoneGable is a lot less formal and more relaxed than the front. But the same colors in the living room and dining room are carried through to the kitchen, breakfast room and family room.
 
Here’s where my love of farmhouse style can shine. I love slipcovers, galvanized metal, chippy paint, lots of white dishes and fun farmhouse accents!
 
The family room is the darkest room in my home. At some point we going to knock out the two windows in the family room and have double french doors installed or a great windows with transoms all around. Until then it’s cozy!
 
For the image below, I stood by one of the white slipcovered chairs. As you can see the back of my home, like the front, is very open.

Let’s head the little area sandwiched between the family room and the kitchen. The “breakfast room” is really a small, open area. It may be small but it holds a lot of people for meals! The round table has two leaves.

    Good Job Yvonne…. Looks Amazing!

  2. Betty Campbell says:

    love your posts

  3. Finally….realized what I needed to learn from you (I’m a quick learner if you give me enough time ;-). You effectively cluster decor from table top to up the wall, but only on surfaces that aren’t the “working” suefaces. The chest has a vignette but the end tables and coffee table are bare or minimally furnished. Thus, the working surfaces are available for coffee mug, book, whatever people need to lay down.

  4. Very beautiful! Everything is so lovely!

  5. So fresh looking. Did I see new curtains in the Family Room??

  6. where did you ever get the beautiful picture on the wall in living room of the houses????

  7. Your home is absolutely beautiful and so welcoming!!! I have a question, didn’t you get new chairs in the breakfast area?

  8. Looks lovely! Just in time for the major winter storm we will have on Tuesday….LOL! Love all the white florals and the way you combine rustic with sophisticated.

  9. Inspiring! I never thought to use two half round mirrors to make a circle mirror with a lot of character. I’ll be on the lookout now, thanks!

  10. mattsgramma says:

    This was my kind of tour!

  11. Candace Geldreich says:

    How’s your recovery going? Love your beautiful home.

  12. I find inspiration in every photo. Thank you

  13. Anne Allen says:

    I LOVE your home, your style, your blog, your love of Jesus and, I’m sure if I meet you, I’d love You, too! I have one question…I love white cabinets with dark countertops but everybody advises against them because they say they show EVERYTHING. is that true? Would you do that again if you were starting from scratch like I am?

  14. Ellie LaJuett says:

    Absolutely beautiful! So fresh and crisp looking!

  15. Wow, Yvonne. You have to be the energizer bunny of the blogosphere! Your home is so welcoming, and I love your sense of farmhouse style.

  16. You are an inspiration. I love your style. As they say in the Navy according to my husband, “WD”. (Well done)

  17. Jinny Foor says:

    Question for you, Yvonne:
    I am moving to a home with an open floor plan with hard word floors. When purchasing an area rug for the dining & living rooms, should they be the same or is a different color/pattern better?

  18. Love your home, thanks so much for sharing.

  19. Beautiful! I don’t think I have seen the entire layout before. Every room flows into the other so seamlessly. Well, done!

  20. Your home is so awesome and inviting. What a wonderful place to live.

  21. Rosemarie Veliz says:

    Oh my word. This was the best part of my day so far!! I love your home and I love when you mention your faith and God! So refreshing! I love coming here. May I ask about your kitchen cabinets and if I remember, you live here in NJ correct? maybe the same man that did yours could do mine!
    Thank you so much!

  22. Everything looks so nice and clean and springy!! I’m inspired now to bring a little spring into my home!

  23. I just, love, love, love your home, every single inch of it. Just beautiful?

    Thank you, Louise
    Huntingdon Valley, PA

    1. Hi Louise, the plate hook is all one piece, except the plate that hangs above it. I found it at Luckett’s spring market several years back.

  47. Thank you for sharing pictures of your beautiful home. I love the pig head in your kitchen. Where did you get it?

    I have been busy here with illnesses, removing winter decor, and other daily life drudgery!

    I, too, have added little Spring touches in several areas of my home. Just subtle additions in the kitchen/dining area, foyer, family room. My granddaughter is thrilled with the changes in “her room” ( guest room). amaxing what just a coverlet and pillows can do to make her happy! ?

    Ranunculus is quickly becoming my favorite flower.

  63. Linda Buchanan says:

    We live in Florida so we don’t realy have spring but I do like to decorate for Easter so I guess that qualifies.

  64. Yvonne,
    Thank you for sharing your entire first floor, room by room, with all its spring glory. This is the first time I’ve seen some of the rooms from the angles shown which gives me a good idea of the floor plan for the first floor.

    After seeing your spring touches, I am inspired to refresh with spring decor throughout my home. As always, a visit with Stone Gable is full of beauty and useful decorating tips.

    Judith

  65. Spring décor is so refreshing. You make it look wonderful.

  93. Avril Crundwell says:

    Moving into a new home in a month. It all needs to be updated, wallpaper removed but the challenge, though daunting, is still exciting. I am looking forward to using your inspiration in my new home.

  94. Everything is Perfect!

  95. Your home is quite welcoming. I keep looking at the soapstone countertops. The black is great. I am deciding on countertops and yours always draw me in. I also love that your home has beautiful things everywhere but isn’t overdone or crowded feeling. Thanks again.

  96. I remember this beautiful tour. Every bit of your home is amazing and beautiful. I have gotten all of my Spring out too. I enjoy this season so very much, I just wish Mother Nature would get on board:):) Hope you are fully recovered by now. We have GOT to get together!!! XOXO

  97. I love your style and your decor! I just love looking at all the photos! Could you tell me where you purchased the round mirror (the two piece one) in your family room? Love it! Love everything!

    1. Hi Mary, I found the mirror at HomeGoods several years ago. I repainted it and made it look more authentically chippy.

  98. Vicki Lynn Bishop says:

    Your Zebra rug, is it a man made product? Is it machine washable? What is your source and brand?
    Love everything you touch!!!!

    1. Hi Vicki, the rug is a cowhide that has been painted. No need to wash it because it is real hide.

  99. Mary Hill says:

    Love your home style. Thanks for the links to others.
