2015 Spring Home Tour
It’s spring home tour day!!! I always love these little quarterly check-ins because it’s so fun to see what all has changed in the past three months. We always have projects happening at the Just a Girl and Her Blog abode, but sometimes I don’t realize how much we’ve done until I put one of these tours together. Ready to take a peek? Come on over!
If you walked up the little sidewalk that leads to our house, you would be met by our bright and cheery spring wreath…
Pittsburgh has a long, dreary, gray winter, so I couldn’t wait to bust out the brighter colors at the first sign of spring!
Once inside, we can wander into the dining room, where my favorite color is everywhere this season. Hello, pretty aqua!
I always use any excuse to dress up this hutch that was once my grandmother’s. It is a pretty special piece to me, and I just love how it looks in the spring!
I mixed some older pieces like my floral family china with newer pieces like the aqua plates and mason jars. And what is spring without flowers?! Love those two little tulips peeking out of their vases.
The aqua dinnerware set was a Kirkland’s find– it was calling my name the second I saw it and fits in perfectly with the rest of our decor!
Connected to the dining room is our main living area, which is currently a work in progress. I have a chair upholstery project that I’ve been putting off for a while, the walls are a little bare, and we could use a side table or two, but it’s coming along.
My favorite piece in this space is still our $40 Craigslist dresser-turned-TV stand that I painted a little over a year ago…
I always have to get creative and find “short” decor to dress it up. 🙂
More flowers– I just can’t get enough!
I told you I wanted to add color after our “blah” winter, and these bright pillows were just the ticket! I kind of have a pillow hoarding tendency. I’ve started sneaking them into the house when Donnie isn’t looking, and then when he asks, “Oh is that another new pillow?” I’m all like, “Oh no, we’ve had that one for a while…” 😉
The silver coffee table tray is also from Kirkland’s. I added some books, flowers, and a little marble sphere and called it a day!
On the other side of the room, you’ll see our spring shelf decor. More color! More flowers! Yippee!
Heading upstairs, we’ll take a peek into the Cs’ newly revamped shared room! These sweet brothers actually love sharing a space if you can believe it; they wouldn’t have it any other way. {Of course it rarely looks this clean, but you bet I’m in there snapping pictures galore when it finally is! 😉 }
My fabulously feminine home office is right next door to the boys’ room. It looks light and bright and spring-like all year round!
And our latest project… the master bedroom. We still have several things to finish up in here, but I’ll give you a quick peek at our board and batten wall and DIY upholstered headboard that we recently finished:
Did I mention it has nailhead trim? My favorite feature!
Whew! That was picture overload! If you’ve made it this far, thanks for sticking with me! Have a wonderful day!
A huge thanks to Kirkland’s for providing product for this post and giveaway! For more information, see my disclosures here.
I really love your Home. I have the same bedcover as your on my son’s bed 🙂

So pretty, Abby! Love all the flowers and that new dinnerware set is beautiful! Enjoy your weekend! 🙂

Your home looks so beautiful and cheery, Abby! I am motivated to do some spring decor now! I don’t typically do any “seasonal” decor, but now I have lots of great ideas! Isn’t it so challenging to find “short” decor for under the TV?! I love what you did, I’m never quite sure what to put under the TV!
Lol! Truth. There is only so much short decor out there to choose from. 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by, Amanda! Have a great weekend!
~Abby =)
Beautiful! I love those dishes and all the cheerful colors you used. Happy Friday!
Thank you, Jenna! It was fun being “on tour” with you! Have a great weekend!
~Abby =)
Your hutch is gorgeous and I love the white and aqua dishes. The sprinkle of tulips throughout your home is lovely, especially the ones in the owl! I really like your spring shelves, I always look forward to seeing how you decorate those shelves each season! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway, I love Kirklands!
Thank you so much, Carrie! The flowers are my weakness… they just call to me at Trader Joe’s and I have to give in, lol! 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
~Abby =)
I love that floral pillow on your bed! Everything looks beautiful, Abby. So happy to be on this home tour with you. 🙂
Thank you, Liz! It has been such a fun tour! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Such a pretty home tour, Abby. I love that pink spring shelf 😉
Hugs, Jamie
Such a pretty tour, Abby! I love all the hits of aqua (of course) and your fun pillows – and the Master Bedroom is coming along beautifully!!
I love how you decorated your Grandmother’s hutch! I always love decor/furniture pieces that have a story.
Just lovely, Abby! And you’ve made so much progress… I’m so impressed. 🙂
Your home is absolutely stunning. I’m obsessed with aqua this year too.
Abby, your house is so gorgeous. Everything is so peaceful, but with the most perfectly placed pops of color! Very pretty!
SO pretty. as always! I’m drooling over that gorgeous aqua dinnerware set. Totally wishing we had a Kirkland’s here! I love having flowers out for spring, too, and I’m pretty sure my hubby is tired of flowers eeeeeeverywhere. 🙂 Hope the weather is warming up there for you! Have a great week! 🙂
how fresh and springy! Love the touches of blue everywhere! Here’s to spring like weather for you soon in Pitt! xx, b @ being-blanca.com

Happy Spring to your & your family!! So nice to be home-touring with you. I’m loving all the pretty, fresh aqua you used!! Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend.
I LOVE your bedroom and office wall colors. If you mentioned them, I missed it, and am wondering if you could tell us again? Thanks!
Hi, Cristy! In our bedroom, the focal wall is Behr Marquee Cameo White, and the other walls are Behr Marquee Silver City. In my office the walls are Behr Gentle Rain. I hope this helps! Have a great day!
~Abby =)
Your space is so pretty abby!! Love the color and your pictures are really getting stellar!! Adore that spring wreath hanging on your front door, that is just too cute.
Thanks for sharing!
