Spring Decor Ideas in Navy and Yellow

March 25, 2016 By Linda 36 Comments

Spring Decor Ideas in Navy & Yellow. 

Spring Decor Ideas

Welcome to my Spring home tour. Turns out I’m the last stop on the last day of a week long, 30 home Spring home tour organized by the amazing Marty at A Stroll Through Life. Thanks Marty!

 

If you’re here from Tidbits & Twine, isn’t Kim’s home amazing? Her style, Her photography. Her design. Sigh. A tough act to follow. I’ll be honest, I’m a bit nervous. Especially for those of you who’ve stuck it out from the beginning. That’s a lot of tough acts to follow. Twenty-nine to be exact. But here goes …

So these tours are more about the looking and less about the reading, but I thought I’d buck the trend. And share an embarrassing story about Spring …

Navy Pillows

 

Yellow Navy Spring Decorating

Well, an embarrassing story about the first day of Spring. As told by me, interspersed among photos. You know, to make you work for it. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Spring Decorating Ideas

With a red face and a head held in shame, I’m going to share with you my ongoing confusion about the first day of Spring. You see, I can never seem to get it right. Is it the 20th of March? Is it the 21st of March? Each year when I think I’ve finally …. finally … uncovered the secret of the 20th versus the 21st, I find myself foiled. Once again. Leaving me to feel like a dummy.

So the other night … on the 20th of March … we’re sitting down for dinner. As a family. Around the dining room table I am not sharing with you here today, and the topic of the first day of Spring comes up.

 

Not exactly unexpected with it being the 20th of March and all.

Spring Decorating

So I admitted my ongoing confusion about mixing up the dates. Vacillating between the 20th and the 21st …

a truth I’ve never admitted before.

And you know what? I’m not a dummy after all. According to my husband — who is clearly much smarter than I — the first day of Spring actually changes year-to-year. Vacillating between the 20th and 21st.

 

Head blown.

Oh, and it’s the same for the first day of Summer. And Fall. And Winter. Vacillating between the 20th and 21st ….

 

I need to go lie down now. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

I’ll leave you with even more Spring decor ideas with links to all the homes decorated for Spring (which, by the way, started on the 19th but extended through the 20th making the 20th the official first full day of Spring):

    Pretty! I hope some day my house will be on a tour! It will force me to decorate on time, perhaps.

    I like EVERYTHING about this room. That is a huge compliment coming from me because usually I find something I would not use or would not be fond of. But, sincerely, you have done a fantastic job with the colors and the arrangement. Could we move that to my house???

    Oh I can so relate, I never know when the first day of any season is, so I gave up years ago. Cute story and such a beautiful tour. I adore your style and your wonderful mix of blue and yellow. Absolutely gorgeous. Such an inviting home. Thanks so much for joining the tours, it is a delight to have you.

    So when you decided to do the Navy and White thing, did you know that it was going to look so great with every stinkin bright color in the world? It’s certainly a great look.

      Thanks for calling me out! LOL! After so many years of so much color I seem to have stripped it all away and kept it very simple! My camera is a Nikon D7100. ๐Ÿ™‚ Linda

    My pleasure! All of your blog post seem to have replete and saturated colours, which I personally enjoy. Feels soft and warm (in my humble opinion of course). As a handyman I often happen to work with paint and I know how hard it is to accomplish such colours in real life.. ๐Ÿ™‚
    ps: d7100 is a great body! I used to have a 5100 and I still miss it. What is the lens you’re using? (I assume you light room or photo shop).
    Once again, great blog! I’ve barely done interior or refurbishing as a handyman service, but inspiration is inspiration. cheers!

    Sorta related to your first day of Spring/other seasons confusion – when I was a kid and for a decent amount of time after, I thought that Thanksgiving was always on the 27th. I guess that was the day it fell on one year and it just clicked into my mind.

    I mentioned this on Facebook and several people chimed in that they also had thought for a long time that Thanksgiving was the 27th as well.

    Also – your post helped educate me – I had never paid enough attention to realize that all the seasons started on the 20th or 21st – and definitely didn’t know that they changed depending on the year.

    Finally, like I was inspired by your 2 different heart wreaths a year or so ago, I’m now inspired to do something in yellow and navy. I’m thinking crepe paper flowers because I know I have yellow and I feel certain I have blue (it might not be true navy though but a good primary blue).

    Your house looks great and I’m jealous at how CLEAN it is. I’m so lazy and I’m way overdue for a vacuuming so I’m totes jelly when I see a house with NO dust and pet fur all over.

    As usual the house looks awesome, and at least you know the correct month for the start of spring. I’m not sure I ever thought about it.

    The mix of patterns you use is just absolutely stunning! And the spots of yellow just make the whole home feel even more inviting! This is the exact feel Iโ€™m going for as Iโ€™m redecorating my mudroom so thank you for the ideas!
