Designing and creating on a simple budget.

One Room Spring Tour – Our Kitchen

ZevyJoySpringKitchenTour

Hello and welcome to the, One Room Spring Tour hosted by Kathleen at Lindsay Hill Interiors! I am joining 25 bloggers as we share one room from each of our homes.  Today 5 of us are sharing our kitchens dressed up for spring. Some of you may be visiting from Brittany over at Duchess of York (the first stop on the tour) and I am so happy to have you here!

As you enter our kitchen you will see a simple hanging rack I was inspired to make recently.  I will be sharing details and a tutorial in the near future… This rack holds all my favorite textures and materials for a kitchen – mixed metals, burlap/linen, plants and most of all wood paired with white.

ZevyJoySpringKitchenTour

With the arrival of spring, I wanted the kitchen to be a place that would have both beauty and purpose. I love greenery or florals and thought it made most sense to fill the space with those very things, but what could be better than fresh herbs as this is the height of gardening season. These are plants that can be used for decor or cooking – they serve a dual function.

I incorporated bright pops of color through a couple tea towels and left the rest to neutrals, wood tones and bright whites.

I like my kitchen to feel comfortable and accessible when using the space. Butter is out, cutting boards and utensils line the counters all while making them easy to grab when necessary.

Poms should never be excluded in any space of the home, even in the kitchen ;)… (Kitchen towel available from World Market)

Again you will see fresh rosemary and mason jars out for drinks of water or cold iced tea.

We have some open shelving in the kitchen that houses cups or bowls that are used on a regular basis. In addition, I added some faux herbs to the coffee mugs making them festive for the season.  A little touch of green in each area goes a long way.

DIY copper lighting hangs above the newly renovated island and you can spy my newest DIY grain sack pillow sitting comfy in our dining area right outside the kitchen area.

Here you can see into the kitchen as you peek through the coral tulips that are just about to burst. It is a tiny area with an open plan. It allows our family to gather for meals and there is an abundance of seating intended for time around the table.

I have taken time finding pieces that are just right for this part of our home. Like this cheese board with glass dome found while thrifting costing me a dollar fifty.

Or the counter stools that sit beside the family hutch, each of them totaling 9.99!

This home has been made with lots of repurposing and thrifting (you can read more about that here).

Nothing says spring more than blooming flowers.  These Iris’ are the prettiest pale blue, even though they look a bit purple here.

The Velveteen Rabbit lines our walls (sign is from Between You and Me Signs) and sunshine glimmers through the entryways.

Our kitchen is simple, it is small and it is loved. We worked hard on it through it’s renovation and it is a wonderful spot for our family, one of my favorite.  It is not perfect, it has many flaws and most importantly it has character.  It gives us a place to cook family meals, have special talks about our days and just be together.

I love what this hardworking kitchen brings to our home and I am honored that I get to share it with you.

I hope you enjoyed seeing a bit into our place today and are leaving feeling encouraged that decorating can be simple and it can be done creatively on a budget.

We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (sh We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (shared it in stories today) and I can’t tell you enough how nice it is to hear that pretty little sound 🎵 ... I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!
One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 Bu One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 But in stories I am sharing some tips and tricks for storage in a small bathroom like ours! I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕
I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and adding some fun wall treatments/trim... I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
