// Spring Decor Refresh: My Living Room

Spring is my favorite because I can't help but get so motivated and so stoked when the weather breaks and the temps rise. There's something about Spring that just feels so refreshing and good! If you've seen any snaps of my home you'll know I really love florals. Real or faux, I'm not picky. I usually buy myself a bouquet of (real) flowers about once a week. Since that can be a pretty expensive habit and you never know how long they'll last I supplement with pretty silk flowers from Michaels. This month's challenge was to share how we refresh our home for the new season so I was all over it. I'm always changing things and painting things, so who knows how long it'll look this way haha! But until I do get around to it, here you go...

pillows: target (pink/gold) + michaels (furry/gold sequin) + handmade (cat) // couch: at home // frames: all from michaels (except let love grow)

mirror: michaels // lamp: nate berkus x target // succulent print: minted // gold frame: michaels // side table: oh joy x target // record player: michaels

mirror: target // woven trunk: michaels (love these! i seriously own 3!) // floral garland: michaels // faux florals: michaels // photo holders: michaels // 'hello': michaels

wicker tray: target // gold basket: michaels // deer head: michaels // bulldog print: local artist (lmk if you want the name, i'll go check!) // amazing giant "bean bag": lux by big joe (!!! we love this thing... pipkin included haha! this one is the 'king fuf')

I get so giddy every time Michaels releases a new home decor collection. Right now they have 3 (and they're all 50% off right now): Vintage Romance (the hello, bud vase, and furry stool that's in my room - maybe you've seen it on IG or Snapchat), Coastal Prep (the wooden mirror), and Global Chic (bold and retro designs). I love the way my living room feels when the windows and doors are open, and there's a warm breeze flowing through the house. Having a tidy and decorated space is a great way for me to jump start my Spring cleaning (purging). Of course all of that is a bit easier said than done when you have two rowdy munchkins tearing through the house, but it's a give and take kind of thing. I'm digging the way everything looks and clearly all the animals are pleased, too. At least until I change it all up again...
