Spring Farmhouse Decorating Home Tour: Black and white spring home tour with some pops of pastels and rustic farmhouse style.
Jump to:
Temperatures were spring like last week for a few days, and I even managed to get out and collect some pussy willows and a sweet little abandoned nest from last year. I'm so excited to have my house looking a little spring like too, and share with you. This year I stuck with my black and white base and added a few little hits of pastels. I love how it turned out. The black and white feels kind of crisp and fresh and with lots of fresh greens (and even some faux greens and flowers) it's very spring-y too.
When I was a child I really didn't see the point of gardening, and thought it was such a waste of time. But as I get older, I just can't wait for spring and to see what's coming up in the garden. I don't have quite as much time as I'd like to keep my garden perfectly weeded, but I do love to see what's blooming and growing. And there truly is nothing quite like vegetables right out of the garden.
Spring Farmhouse Decorating in the Dining Room
My little console table and bar cart are just inside the door in the dining room, so we'll start our home tour there.
I tried to keep things quite black and white, so I made some black and white Easter eggs this year.
The table is set the for Easter, and I'm sharing all the details of the Black and White Easter Table here.
I wasn't 100% sure about a black and white Easter table, but I LOVE how it turned out.
Favourite detail ...has to be the bunny ears and tails. More details on Wednesday, but seriously, how cute! 😉
And this simple centrepiece full of my DIY'd black and white Easter eggs. I'll be sharing a video on the nail polish marbled eggs soon. The others are simple black matte spray paint, and drawn on with a black sharpie. You can find the tutorial for the cement Easter eggs here.
Black and White Buffalo Check Wall
My black and white buffalo check wall got a fun update for spring too. See the tutorial on how I painted the Black and White Buffalo Check Feature Wall it here.
I used simple faux flowers -just lily-of-the-valley and white tulips to create some 3-D wall art.
It was really simple to do and adds so much drama to the space.
The flowers are held in place with a simple straight pin, and then there's a little washi tape making them look taped to the wall.
I did start out with just washi tape, then added clear cello tape underneath for more strength, but they kept falling down. My sister had the great idea to use pins, and it worked perfectly
And a few more black and white touches.
Now from the dining room into the living room.
The Living Room
I've carried the black and white check into here as well, but there's a few little pastel pops of colour too.
Spring Farmhouse Decorating on The Mantel
I started out with the fireplace mantel. It's quite simple, but I really like how it turned out.
I started out by adding the feathers. They're strung on simple thread, and hung from a branch. They make a perfect spring backdrop.
I love the simplicity of it.
On the couch, more black and white, and that little pop of pink.
The coffee table is a collection of pretty little things.
I love creating fun little groupings like this. And the one little lily-of-the-valley, helps tie back to the feature wall in the dining room.
Over on the side table stumps I couldn't resist this little chick who looks like he's just hatched from one the eggs.
And from the living room, it's into the kitchen.
The Kitchen
We updated our kitchen in the fall for the One Room Challenge, and what a difference it has made. An unexpected pleasure has been decorating the open shelves for each season.
They got a few Easter updates with some pretty pastels.
It all started with this perfect little black and white striped container rom HomeSense that I added to our coffee station.
And then I remembered these cute little spring watercolour cards that I bought years ago. They were in silver frames so I switched them to black and think they look so sweet on the shelves.
And then I found one more cute little striped bunny at HomeSense.
Such simple little additions, and so perfectly spring!
Over by the sink I added some more pussy willows.
Over on the other side of the room there are a few spring touches too.
Spring Farmhouse Decorating in the Eating Area
The table is looking so sweet.
And some spring cookies too!
And on the wall, an update to my macrame wall hanging -see how I made it here.
I added in a few florals and some faux succulents for spring.
Underneath, another little spring vignette. My favourite is the little silver trophy cup filled with pussy willows.
Thanks for joining me.
With spring farmhouse decorating, life really is a party!

Love the black and white touches with the white backgound. Your house is lovely - my favorites are the feather/branch hanging, the black and white eggs, the adorable fuzzy chick and your painted tree stump side tables. Where did you get the feathers? I live in the US and we have Michaels, Hobby Lobby and of course Amazon. Looking forward to more posts. Jill

A veritable feast for the eyes! The dining room with that floral wall (perfection!) and the bunny place settings (tails on chairs?!) are super cute, and then the kitchen and living room bring it all home. I love the striped bunny jars and all the little chickies. Spring has definitely sprung at your home.
Jamie says
Such a beautiful home you have, Dannyelle! And It's perfectly decorated for spring!
JaneEllen says
Wow, so much to see and all of it is wondrous. Everything you showed in your photos is so gorgeous. You have a beautiful home, every last bit you featured in your photos is wow. Guess you can tell am so inspired and impressed with your Spring home. love the black and white even tho am person who loves color.
The stick with the fluffy feathers is so clever, wonderful touch and your buffalo check wall with flowers, very artistic also.
While I can't emulate all I saw did get out some metal decorated cups to put some chicken feathers in, put them up on our shutter shelf in living room and some in both bathrooms. Loved that little touch of softness. So many times am on here reading a post but stop to get something similar to what have seen to decorate my own home, am so inspired. If I wait will forget.
so enjoyed your tour. Happy Spring and Easter.
