Hello and welcome to the Storybook Cottage Spring Home Tour 2018. This wonderful group of homes decorated in their spring finery is organized by my wonderfully talented friend Marty of A Stroll Thru Life. If you are coming from Our Fifth House I am so glad that you are here. Carmel has an amazing eye for color and detail.
Spring Home Tour 2018
I recently shared a $30 springtime bedroom refresh. Today’s tour includes the entry, formal dining area, and living room.
In the dining area, I brought several of my favorite gardening tools inside.
Watering cans, seed scoops, and vintage copper potting pots all do double duty.
To complement the galvanized metal and copper I used soft shades of green and peach.
I found this old watering can at an estate sale this past winter. It’s been patiently waiting for a spring debut.
On the dining table, I used a galvanized metal lantern I have had for years as a centerpiece.
It was filled with a few books, a wee nest, and handpainted eggs.
Vintage crystal glasses are used as vases.
The Entry
The nearby entry table also was graced with a bit of gardening goodness.
French antique confit pots mingle with faux topiaries.
The Mantel
I carried the soft spring green over to the mantel and living room.
The various textures and soft colors create a soothing vignette.
More books and birds.
The coffee table grouping features more faux greenery.
Cabinet of Curiosities
This spring the cabinet of curiosities features a neutral grouping.
A mix of old and new favorites always feels fresh.
Gracie the doxie hopes you have enjoyed this year’s spring tour. She says come back soon to see the Easter decor and reveal of the DIY Home Planner Bathroom remodel.
Please be sure to visit all of the wonderful spring home tours!
Tomorrow the tours will begin at my sweet friend Vel’s home. You will love her glorious use of artwork and accessories at Life & Home @ 2012.
Laura
Gosh, Laura, I think this is your prettiest efforts. All the soft colors mesh so beautifully. The confit pots are a masterful french touch, and all the galvanized metal carries out the theme beautifully.
I love how you have added such a pretty gardening theme throughout your decor. It definitely says Spring in such a beautiful and unique way. Thanks so much for joining the tours, your home is always a favorite and I love how your create such interesting and beautiful vignettes.
So pretty, Laura! I especially love your arrangement on the dining room buffet piece with the watering cans, birds and nests. And oh, that piece in your entry hall is fabulous! As is the turquoise cabinet — so happy. It looks lovely!
Very pretty,Laura. I especially love the entry chest decorated with confit pots and topiaries. That’s just such a timeless and beautiful look.
The white pieces all gathered in the china hutch are wonderful too.
So pretty! Love your floral arrangements
Laura, I think Spring is the season where Storybook Cottage shines to the max. Love the tablescape, the pretty entry table vignette and of course your beautiful Gracie. Happy Spring my friend!
Everything looks beautiful! I love all of your natural touches. But I have to be honest, your pup is my favorite part of the post. What a cutie!
Your dining room tablescape and displays are breathtakingly beautiful, Laura! One would never know the commotion you’ve got going on with your bath remodel in how you can so calmly and coolly showcase the rest of your home. It’s all so pretty. Happy Spring!
I think Rita said it perfectly. That’s just what I was thinking! Lots of irons in different pots… I think the colors you chose are so pretty and not the usual combinations that we see.. They are so light and airy. We can always expect the unexpected from you, Laura.
Laura, I love your home tour. So light and airy and refreshing. Beautiful photography of a stunning home.
Beautiful tour, Laura! I love those pink flower plates in your tablescape. So pretty!

You are so talented with arrangements and vignettes. You have so many truly beautiful pieces. The table in your entry is gorgeous and unusual, love the style and the wood is incredible alongside your vignette on it.. Am always very much interested in unusual pieces which are so pretty.
