Simple Spring Decor for the Guest Bedroom

Home Decor· Spring· The Seasonal Home

12 Mar

We’re sharing our simple spring decor for the guest bedroom in hopes that it will inspire you to add a little spring to your home. [post contains affiliate links. thank you for supporting north country nest!]

There’s currently about three feet of snow outside as I type these words, so thinking of spring isn’t top-of-mind here at The Nest. But, I’m channeling Field of Dreams and hoping that if we decorate, spring will come. 🙂

Over the years, I’ve come to really enjoy seasonal decorating. Since it usually happens at the first inkling of the season, switching over the decor heightens the excitement that only comes with seasonal change.

I have to say though, I think the changeover from winter to spring is my absolute favorite.

There is so much anticipation… more so than any other seasonal change.

Perhaps it’s because we’re in Minnesota, which means there’s a high chance we’ve been stuck indoors for the past three five months.

Or maybe it’s just the fact that we’re excited for something new.

Now, don’t get me wrong, the other seasons do bring a significant amount of joy – who doesn’t love all things pumpkin? And there’s nothing quite like putting up the Christmas tree.

But spring.

My friends, there is NOTHING like being in Minnesota on the first day we get above freezing weather.

I swear the entire state lets out a huge sigh of happiness.

People are naturally friendlier and the smiles from strangers start to become more common.

Maybe it’s due to the fact that we can go outside without putting seventeen layers on but also because we all know – we know the cold is coming to an end and we’re getting closer to seeing green grass and open water.

We can almost see the lakes thawing and can begin to envision ourselves boating in the sunshine with a cold drink in hand.

It’s the kind of excitement that only comes from fresh beginnings.

So, while Brett heads outside to plow another six inches of snow off the driveway, I’ll be in here, building up all things spring.

Because maybe, just maybe, if you build it, it will come.

All our best,

    Loved the field of dreams analogy 🙂 Beautiful space, as always! My favorite little detail is the ladder side table.

oh, hi!

We’re Brett and Kelly! A husband and wife team tackling our first complete home renovation. We love all things DIY, our two furbabes and lazy summer days out on the lake. Our mission? To share the journey of turning a house into a home.

Last summer, Brett and I didn’t get out on the w Last summer, Brett and I didn’t get out on the water at all – not once did we take the boat out.

Given the fact that we live in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, I felt like the worst Minnesotan. How could we not enjoy the water when there’s three within five miles of our house?

This year? We've been able to get out on some body of water at least once per week - how cool is that?!

What’s been really great about these last few months is that we’ve seemed to have found a nice “balance” between go-go-go and taking time to enjoy whatever it may be.

While this season of relaxed work is probably not the norm, it's been a pleasant surprise that we'll be enjoying for as long as we can!

Enjoy the week, friends!

We have to add trim to the slider, install the baseboards and frame up + install the pantry door.

And then...

This kitchen will be DONE! 🙌
Yesterday, #ontheblog we did a mid-year check in o Yesterday, #ontheblog we did a mid-year check in on our renovation list and shared two new projects we're adding (of course!)

The second addition? Giving a little refresh to this laundry room by pushing back the washer, dryer and cabinets.

We finished it wayyyy back in 2017 but there was a small frustration: the washer and dryer cover the window.

Every few months we'd circle back to the space and see how we could make it work. It was one of those little issues that might not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but here's the thing - you deserve to LOVE your home.

After four and a half years of constant projects, I often find myself wondering why in the hell we are doing this and I keep coming back to this idea that a home is meant to be loved, to share a story, to work for you, to be a space that you can relax in and enjoy.

So while the washer and dryer covering a window might be insignificant to a visitor, for us, it's something we see every day. And, after three years of brainstorming, we finally found a solution that felt good.

I guess that's the bonus of being four years into a reno - the idea of knocking down a wall seems like an easy project nowadays 😂😂

Sometimes, it's not all rainbows and butterflies.. Sometimes, it's not all rainbows and butterflies... especially when it comes to neighbors.

New post #ontheblog today all about the lawsuit we've been in with our neighbor for the last year. And it started all because of our garage.

In short: three years ago the county required us to get a survey done on our property in order to build the garage. The results showed that the easement our neighbor was using to access her property was not in the right place - it was inside our property lines instead of outside.

Fast forward to July 2, 2019 when we were served lawsuit paperwork from said neighbor, claiming the rights to the easement location - and it's been a long, stressful process since then.

But, we received the good news last week from our lawyer - everything is finalized and we can finally put this whole mess behind us!

Cheers to starting the week off on a high note!

In other news, Brett scored big time and found a giant rug for our living room - it was half off and arrived last week. Now we're patiently waiting until we get the new floors down until we roll it out. Check the stories if you want to get a sneak peak!😁😁 Enjoy the day, my friends!

Brett showed up around dinner time and proceeded to spend the next hour in a water + cake fight with six kids under 10.

Yup, I'm married to an adult child. 😂😂 Kidding aside - I had one of those 'I love summer' moments, watching them all run around outside, laughing their heads off.

Hope you're enjoying the start to your week, friends! 🙌
So, here's the deal. The kitchen tile project was So, here's the deal. The kitchen tile project was not all sunshine and roses.

Two words: dried grout.

On the plus side, you can in fact clean dried grout from tile. On the negative, it's a complete pain in the ass... And doesn't get you back too 100%. #ontheblog today, I'm diving into all the details on how we cleaned the tile... And the (now funny?) story on how it even happened in the first place (hint: renovating with your husband on an empty stomach never has a positive outcome) 😂
The last four years have been a constant experimen The last four years have been a constant experiment of finding the balance between function and design.

We started this entryway with white built-ins and light walls. Damn it looked good in pictures but real life? With two black dogs and a lake... Well let's just say the functionality of the design choices were at an all time low.

So, we overhauled the space and darkened the walls and built-ins. While I was a little nervous to go so dark, I have to admit Brett's instincts were right one this one.

So, here's to continuing to find that balance of function and design - and I'd love hear, have you compromised anything because it just didn't fit with how your family lives in your home?!?
