    Spring 2018: A Wannabe Minimalist Home Tour

    Spring 2018: A Wannabe Minimalist Home Tour

    Happy home tour day y'all!

    If you are visiting from Decorating Delirium, welcome! Isn't Jennifer's home gorgeous?!?!

    Home tour days is one of my favorites and this one is going to be slightly different! If you have been a reader here at least the first of this year you probably know that I have decluttered and removed some of the decor that I didn't absolutely love. Well, it's three months later and I have yet to put anything back.

    Today you get to see our home in it's minimalist state and I have to say I'm kind of loving it! I think we breathe better with more open space and less stuff around. I even toned down my 9-year-0ld's room quite a bit and he hasn't complained at all. We've talked about decorating more and he's not that into it (shocker!) so I decided to leave it for awhile, at least until we find decor or a theme he really loves.

    I wouldn't call myself a minimalist just yet but I find that I'm leaning more and more in that direction the older I get. I'm not sure if it's because I just get tired of putting things away or that it makes me feel more at peace or both. But either way, the more I read about minimalism and study minimalist spaces the more I wannabe one :)

    You also probably know that I'm not a huge seasonal decorator. I like to swap out a few pillows and throws here and there, but I primarily bring change through seasonal flowers or greenery or a fun table table setting.

    Well, let's get to it!

      Love your home so much! I’m not a big seasonal decorator either and having to store seasonal items stresses me out. You are definitely on to something :)

      Well done, Summer! It makes me want to chuck everything and go minimalist, too, but wow do I have some work to do. The kitties are wonderful and very decorative. :) Happy Spring!

      I am reading a book right now about a less is more approach in the home and I am sold. I agree that it does not feel sparse, but rather the true beauty of the things you have chosen to display comes though. Your home looks so fresh and crisp with beautiful pops of color.

      What a lovely and serene space you've created! Gorgeous! And I love that you've included Mr. Grits and Shrimp in your photos. I think Mr. Grits has found a cozy spot to settle in! Lol!
