Welcome to the 2022 Spring Home Tour – My Home. I am thrilled to be starting off the tours. We have some amazing homes this entire week, so be sure to come back every day so you don’t miss a single one.
I usually start my tours in the living room, however, I thought I would start off with the family room this time. Welcome to my home.
If you’ve followed along for a while, you’ve seen this room change 180 degrees. My traditional furniture from the last home just didn’t work in here, so this room has been in transition for the 5 years we’ve lived here. A couple of years ago I finally got some of the basics right and now I think I have all the final pieces in place. I love how this room has taken on a really fun transitional style that better fits the house.
I am loving color for now. You know how sometimes less is more, but right now I think more is more. Bright yellow has been calling my name.
I found 4 of these abstract pillows in black and yellow, so I just had to use one of my favorites.
Yellow and black just seemed to work well with my horse painting and my dark gray leather recliners.
The back of the house is one long room with the family room, kitchen and breakfast area. This picture is taken from the kitchen.
If you turn around, this is the view of the kitchen and breakfast area from the family room.
I love our kitchen remodel, it is still one of my favorite rooms 5 years later.
It’s not a huge kitchen, but it functions perfectly for me.
The major plus to my small kitchen is this amazing walk-in pantry. I love it. (The other door opens to my laundry room.)
The breakfast area in next to the kitchen on this end of the room.
It’s a nice area that fits my harvest table with space enough to seat 8 or 10 in a pinch. (Decor tip – use two different napkins if you don’t have enough of the same print. It adds interest and a casual note to the table.)
I used yellow and black here to coordinate with the family room space.
I love this, it says Spring to me.
Now be sure to check out the other 5 homes on today’s tour. They are all amazing and full of ideas, tips, and inspiration for your own Spring decor.

What a wonderful tour Miss Marty! Your living room truly looks fabulous. I adore all of the happy pops of yellow. Thank you so much for hosting.
The golden tones of the throw pillows really flow nicely with the golden in the horse painting and the coffee table. Beautiful view. Am loving the metal camel butter dish on your counter top! Also the use of lemons, so fresh. You are one of the most encouraging bloggers in blogosphere always seeing the beauty in everyone. Always look forward to your tours. I do miss the creative cloches you used to do, maybe throw me a cloche bone once in a while 😘
What a beautiful tour, Marty! Your home is so inviting and pulled together. I love all the cheerful yellow and all your pretty accessories too. For the first time, I used some yellow this year as well – I think it’s just what we all need these days. Thanks so much for hosting this awesome hop!

Beautiful! Absolutely love the pops of sunny yello and how it just brightens up every space!
I love the black and yellow color scheme Marty! As always I really enjoyed your tour and am thankful to be participating in this series.
It looks beautiful, great job.
Such a beautiful tour Marty! I have loved watching the transformation of this room over the last 5 years. The pops of yellow are so sunny and perfect for spring! 🙂
Your spring family room and kitchen is lovely, Marty! Yellow is a perfect color for spring. LOVE those recliners! And a small kitchen works great for one! 😉 So happy to be on the tour with you!
Love the touches of cheery yellow to welcome spring! Thanks so much for hosting the tour and bringing everyone into our homes!!
Yes, you have achieved such a warm and inviting atmosphere in your family room area. I love the black and yellow accents but especially the abstract pillow. May I ask where you found it?
Thanks so much. It was a find on amazon. It came in a pack of 4 each one a little different. Marty
I can see why the yellow is calling your name. It is striking against the cream sofa and goes so well with that beautiful horse print. I’ve always loved touches of black so that is calling my name. 😉 Everything looks so happy in both rooms. And I can totally relate to taking 5 years to find what you’ve needed all along. Great job! Thank you for inviting me to tour with you.
I just love how those golden tones warm up your home! That cute lemon centerpiece in your kitchen stole my heart. 💛
STUNNING and so so happy and inviting. I love all your touches. I need to find some pretty yellow and sew up some cushions for my place.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful home.

Marty, your home is gorgeous! I love all the changes and the color! Saturated yellow is one of my favorite colors too. And it looks so pretty in your home!
I love how you decorated for the space you have. It’s so fresh with the pops of yellow.
Loving the abstract pillows, Marty! I am right there with you…color has been calling to me lately too. Your home looks beautiful!
Yellow looks pretty fabulous in your home Marty, and I love the pillows! Perfect for spring!
What lovely spring touches in your home!
Your home is decorated so beautifully Marty, and the yellow just fills it with sunshine! Thank you for all your hard work hosting this Spring tour, I really appreciate it 💛💛
HI, Marty, thank you for hosting again, so fun to be in it again. Your home is looking so pretty, love your yellow and black pillows, the gold lantern over your table, all so pretty and fresh for spring. You’ve done such a nice job with your home and it keeps on getting better.
Marty, your home is so gorgeous as always and I just love all the beautiful yellow – it’s so happy and vibrant! Thank you as always for all that you do and for having me join the tour! xox
Everything looks just lovely, Marty! I agree that your new “style” suits this home so well. The pops of yellow are perfect for adding a cheery and bright touch for spring! Thank you for hosting the tour. I always enjoy seeing what everyone has to share.
This is amazing! I would love it if you would share it on the Fabulous Friday Link Party this Friday, and every Friday after that. You can find the link on my website. Hugs and blessings to you.
The yellow looks magnificent! I especially love the black and yellow abstract pillow. And yes, the black & yellow combo is perfect with your gray recliners and art! and I totally agree with you – a small kitchen is no problem when you have a walk-in pantry. Hoping we can figure out how to create one in our new home someday! Beautiful Spring touches and a wonderful tour. Thank for SO much for hosting and inviting me along. Have a great week!
I love how your house looks gorgeous in every season and with any color scheme! The yellows and blacks look so pretty! Thanks for hosting another inspiring hop!
Marty there’s nothing quite like pops of yellow to welcome spring! Love your sophisticated spring look. I always look forward to seeing how you drastically change up your spaces simply by changing some pillows and textiles. The kitchen looks so bright and cheerful for sunny days ahead!
Thank you so much for organizing another fabulous tour!
I love the pops of yellow for Spring Marty! And the sofa pillows are so chic with the cowhide rug. Where did the silver camel in the kitchen come from? Is it a dish cover? So neat!
Yes the camel is a butter dish. I found it at Home Goods. So fun. Thanks, Marty
Marty,
I absolutely love the pops of yellow in your home for spring. It will carry you well through summer. Those contemporary pillows in your living room are perfect!
