“Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn.” – Lewis Grizzard
I am absolutely delighted to welcome you to the Spring Home Tour! If you’ve just arrived from the incredibly talented Maggie at Maggie Overby Studios, I’m so happy you’re here.
Embracing Spring, No Matter the Weather
Living in the Northeast means that spring can be unpredictable. This year, we had a surprisingly mild winter—just last week, temperatures hit a dreamy 70 degrees in February, making it feel like spring was just around the corner. But nature had other plans! A sudden winter storm, Riley, barreled through the East Coast, bringing power outages and fallen trees. We were lucky—although we lost a few trees, including a favorite evergreen that toppled onto our neighbor’s driveway, Mark was able to clear things up with a weekend of chainsaw work.
Amidst the flurries that fell yesterday, I noticed something special—tiny blooms peeking out at the edge of our yard.
These Galanthus, or snowdrops, are among the first flowers to bloom in winter, and their arrival is a sure sign that spring is on its way. With most of our plants and trees still weeks away from waking up here in Massachusetts, these delicate blossoms are a joyful reminder that brighter, warmer days are ahead.
Bringing Spring Indoors
While the world outside still holds onto winter, a few simple touches of green inside can make a home feel like spring has already arrived. My favorite way to do this? Fresh plants and flowers!
Right now, Home Depot has stunning orchids on sale for just $12.98, and I couldn’t resist. Their lush greenery and elegant blooms instantly brighten up any space. Just look at how many buds are on this beauty!
Another easy way to add a bit of spring refresh to your home is through textiles and color accents. My cozy blue patterned throw from HomeGoods is perfect for these lingering chilly days. Check out the coffee table makeover here.
And of course, books aren’t just for reading—they can also be a great way to introduce fresh pops of color throughout your space. The DIY mirrored tray is perfect for keeping everything organized on the coffee table.
A Spring-Inspired Dining Room
Our living room flows right into the dining room, where we gather for all our meals.

I wanted to add some greenery to our table, but the tulips at the grocery store looked a little lackluster (I always try to buy them closed so they last longer). Instead, I snipped a few rhododendron branches from our yard—a simple, cost-free way to bring some spring energy indoors!
It’s amazing how even a small burst of greenery can completely transform a space.
This is also the time of year when seasonal meals bring warmth and comfort. A favorite in our home? Baked potato soup! It’s so hearty that sometimes we’ll just pair it with a salad for an easy yet satisfying dinner. I’ll be sharing my go-to recipe later this week!
For a casual, last-minute gathering, I love using colorful scarves as table runners.
No ironing, no fuss—just a relaxed, welcoming vibe with a hint of spring color.
A Versatile & Bright Workspace
When we’re not eating, the dining room magically turns into an office for both Mark and me. He claims one end of the table with his laptop, while I settle in at the other.
I’m so glad I gave our Craigslist dining table a second makeover—the limed finish gives it a fresh, airy feel, perfect for this bright and light-filled room.
Of course, working here is only productive until:
a) Mark gets on a work call (he is not a quiet talker 😆), or
b) The kids get home from school—at which point, any hope of productivity disappears!
Last year, I picked up a few potted herbs from Trader Joe’s and used them as a centerpiece in early spring. It was such a cheerful and practical addition—and once the weather warmed up, I transplanted them into our deck containers!
