Though beautifully bright and sunny today, the wind was strong and brisk as it would appear Spring has decided to hibernate…at least this week.
Yet signs of spring are all around us, including a sweet little morning dove that seems to want to make a nest in our front door wreath. Each year, I have to remove the wreaths come springtime as they’re viewed as prime real estate for nest building. In fact, a sweet robin made a nest there a couple of years ago which we followed and chronicled her journey HERE.
But that was before we had Brody, who wouldn’t have made the robin family feel too comfortable as he’d watch their every move through the window.
While I love spring, I can do without Brody’s muddy paws. Not to say he’s overly fond of it either as we have a ritual of cleaning his paws every single time he comes in from outside, which unfortunately for me, is quite often.
Another sign of spring is the beautiful sun that streams through our living room windows between 2-4 pm. I know it may seem a little silly, but I miss this perfect light during the fall and winter.
And as it was sunny yesterday, I took some photos of the new rug I had received from Kohl’s to share with you. I have been wanting a rug for the dining room, but decided to move our old rug there and place this pretty one with little touches of coral in the living room. I love that it’s neutral, but has tiny bits of color and the most subtle design.
As much as I love neutral, I think spring deserves to have a little color and I’ve always loved the coral and blue combo.
As I already have a lot of blue around the house, I went out and bought some grocery store flowers and really that’s all it takes to make the space cohesive.
I also painted the fun art in the background.
While unsure if it is an interior designer ‘faux pas’, I do like the way the two rugs anchor each space and think it works.
Don’t you just LOVE that fun pillow? But I’m not sure it’s going to stay there as it seems a little too playful for this room. Even though playful is always a good thing, it feels as if it would be more appropriate in a little girl’s room. I do love the big pop of color though.
Here is another look at the art I painted. Maybe it’s just me, but I keep thinking that pattern would make such pretty fabric.
I love how soft this new rug is, as does Brody and the kiddies, as you’ll often find one of us laying on it.
I’ve been busy trying to get some pretty Mother’s Day free printables and can you believe April is almost upon us (which means it’s time for a new calendar). Time flies!
Well, that’s all I have for today.
Thank you so very much for visiting today…I hope you have a beautiful day.
much love,

That rug is gorgeous. So inviting as always.
I just love the new rug; great looking! But, the dog is the show in this article…very photogenic! I do love seeing your pillows about; I’ve purchased several last year and love the bird design so it was nice seeing it in a room setting. Thanks so much for sharing!
I love everything! Especially Brody…are you selling a painting like yours? Please keep sharing your beautiful home.
Pretty rug Lucy! it looks so plush! Love how you brought in bits of coral…
Amazing rug

Love love love this colour combo and how gorgeous and crisp and fresh your space is, Lucy!!
It looks so pretty Lucy. The coral and blue is so soothing and beautiful together. Brody is the most gorgeous guy ever! I just want to squeeze him he’s so adorable.
It is beautiful Lucy! I love the pop of coral. So pretty and peaceful!
It’s gorgeous, Lucy! Love all the spring decor too 😉
Hugs, Jamie
Beautiful new rug, Lucy. I’ve been thinking of swapping out one of my bamboo script mats for a rug. I like this one in their blue version, too.
Love everything about the rooms, but Broody is definitely the best accessory! I’m afraid I would just cuddle him & look at that gorgeous face all day & get nothing done!
When it comes to interior design, there is no such thing as being too playful. Playing around with your interior décor is the heart of interior design. That pillow is perfect for the space. Keep it right where it is! I, too, love the blue and light orange/coral color combo.
Thank you for allowing us all to peek around your home and find inspiration each week…it’s encouraging and one of my favorite spots to visit. I have perused the shop where I purchase pillow covers of your designs, but cannot find the one that is sharing the seat with Brodie in the first image with the tangerine and white throw. Is the watercolour blue on white “check” one of yours?…..hint for finding?
Love your new rug. It looks nice in the room you put it in. Broody looks so comfy cosy just laying there. I want to be like that sometimes. I love everything you do!
