Our house is on our neighborhood’s house tour in a few weeks. This is a big deal for us because we’ve lived here 30 years and we’ve never had our house open although our garden has been on the garden tour many times.
We typically have 1000 people through these houses during the weekend of the house tour.
I’m glad they ask us to be on tour. I hadn’t really thought about it because I had always planned to be on a Christmas tour before we moved because I would like to decorate in one big blowout holiday event one time.
It is good timing because our first floor looks good – we redid our kitchen last year, DH completely painted and refurbished the front porch, so things look as good as they’re going to be. Tour guests are only coming through our first floor.
So, it occurred to me that yeah it’s not Christmas but I can still do a lot with florals, and I ran across this Pinterest image of a spring garden on a mantle. That is absolutely perfect for my living room theme which is green and pink, colors of a spring garden. So this fireplace floral design will be the focal point of our house, sample below.
