tangerine + mint // my (dream) spring home makeover

tangerine and mint

It's officially March 1st, and we all know what that means - spring is coming!  I can't even begin to express how happy this makes me.  Seriously.  You've heard me whine on numerous occasions about my disdain for winter, but in 19 days, it is officially over!  Yay colorful flowers!  Yay green trees!  Yay spring dresses!

The almost arrival of spring has also gotten me thinking about how my house could use a serious spring cleaning.  I'm not the most organized person (I like to blame it on "creative person brain" to make myself feel better), and there is a whole lot of clutter and general winter gloominess going on here.  Although I'll undoubtedly procrastinate the actual organization stuff for as long as possible, a spring makeover of some sort is definitely in order.  This season, the colors tangerine and mint are huge, and I plan to add some new artwork and decor pieces in those color schemes to freshen things up.  In my head, however, I'd like to do much more, as can be seen in the gorgeous tangerine and mint furniture, appliances, and decor above.  If I win the lottery or stumble upon a buried treasure or something, I'll be redoing my entire house for spring with all of these pieces.  Cross your fingers for me.


1. Gorgeous Smeg fridge in pastel green
2. Handmade mint + tangerine owl vases by Claylicious
3. Tangerine Fluoro shade pendant by Tom Dixon
4. Simple tangerine & mint wall art, via Design*Sponge
5. Parlour atomic orange chair by CB2
6. Tangerine and mint chevron pillows
7. Rad modern tangerine colored storage unit
8. Wito glass mint square end table


If I find that buried treasure and get my dream spring home makeover, I'll be sure to post lots of pictures.  Promise.

Pssst...  Before you go, make sure you take a couple of minutes to visit the amazing new and returning Bubby and Bean sponsors for March!  I'm truly in love with their shops and blogs, and highly recommend checking them out.  (Over there! In the right sidebar!)  Lots of goodness going on.

  6. Two of my favorite colors! They go so well together and look just like spring/summer/warm weather. I have also been thinking a lot about organization (last night, I dreamt that I moved to another apartment just to have room for my crafts). I'm hoping for some serious spring cleaning. :)

  16. I love the colors. I am hoping to have that beautiful chair along with the pillows and Flouro shade pendant. I guess these would definitely give our house that warm cosy atmosphere. Thank you for your ideas.
