Spring Home Tour

You guys, when did it become March?! Heck, when did it become March is nearly over and April is riding in fast? It seems like just a few weeks ago, I was planning out all my projects for the year, feeling like I had plenty of time to tackle all 100 things on my list (ha!) and then bam, March is almost gone! Anyone else feel the same way?

If you’re new here, hello! My name is Jenna and as you might have noticed at the top of this page, I believe in flying your freak flag in every aspect of life – from decorating to just being your everyday self. Did you just come from Rhoda over at Southern Hospitality? I really love her take on decorating – she has a classic, timeless style that is always so perfectly put together. She’s a sweetheart too! Also, a big thanks to Marty at A Stroll thru Life for hosting the tours – I love her gorgeous style. It’s the perfect amount of traditional mixed with touches of glam.

Today, I’m going to take you on a tour of our 70’s Landing Pad – a split-level house built in the 70’s that we’ve been remodeling for the past few years. Fair warning – my style may not be your cup of tea. There are black walls, punches of color and a sofa and coffee table that I feel would have held their own among other decor at Studio54.

Also, if you aren’t new here, you’ll see that some of the spaces in my home haven’t changed since the last home tour. I’m not one of those people who is constantly wanting to switch things up in their house and I don’t generally change things up for each season with the exception of a few pumpkins at fall and Christmas decorations. Once I have a room how I like it, there’s a good chance it will stay that way until I just so happen to run across inspiration somewhere that sends me wanting to change something up. I don’t generally seek to redecorate my home every few months, year, etc. I like to enjoy the rooms instead of constantly trying to change it up. So, if you found my living room atrocious last year, you’ll find it the same way this year.  😉

If you’re interested in shopping details for some of the items in my home, then I’ve included affiliate links below each photo. The links will take you to the exact item in my home or a similar item if the exact one is no longer available. 🙂

Sofa, (similar) / Coffee Table (similar) / Snakeskin Rug (similar) / Floor Lamp / Red Velvet Drapes / Chandelier

Nothing has really changed in the living room. I do have a new console table that is going to go against the wall to the left of the sofa, but I have yet to get it painted! This room is still one of my favorites in our home.

Donkey Watercolor Print

She has become quite the little artist and loves making crafts, coloring, etc. I think she’s been at this spot at least once a day since I got it finished. I’ll have the tutorial for it on the blog soon.

Cute Little Girl with Blonde Curls – One of a Kind. 😉 

Master Bedroom & Sitting Area

I have changed up things in the master bedroom just a bit.

Renovated Split-Level Home Tour Full of Color and Character - Palm Beach Chic Master Bedroom

DIY Headboard / Chandelier / Palm Art Print / Bedding, Similar Here and Here / Green Drapes

I felt like this space needed a little more color and pattern so I added in some new pillows and a throw.

Renovated Split-Level Home Tour Full of Color and Character - Palm Beach Chic Master Bedroom

DIY Headboard / Bedding, Similar Here and Here / Navy Velvet Pillows / Malachite Pillows / Cheetah Pillow

When we had to clean out Grunt Labor’s grandmother’s house, no one wanted the brass lamps that were in her living room. I knew they would be perfect for our master, so I brought them home and cleaned them up.

Renovated Split-Level Home Tour Full of Color and Character - Palm Beach Chic Master Bedroom

Palm Art Print / How to Make a Huge Frame for Cheap / Malachite Pillows / Cheetah Pillow / Purple Throw

It’s nice having a little something from their home in ours.

Renovated Split-Level Home Tour Full of Color and Character - Palm Beach Chic Master Bedroom

DIY Headboard / Bedding, Similar Here and Here / Navy Velvet Pillows / Malachite Pillows / Cheetah Pillow / Purple Throw

I’m also playing around with these gold tables at the end of the bed here. I’ve had them for over a year – found them at a thrift store!  I could never figure out what to do with them, but didn’t want to get rid of them. On a whim, I decided to try them at the end of the bed and so far, I like them. What do you think?

Renovated Split-Level Home Tour Full of Color and Character - Palm Beach Chic Master Bedroom

DIY Headboard / Navy Velvet Pillows / Malachite Pillows / Cheetah Pillow / Purple Throw

I was a little scared to try purple in here with this throw, but I am so glad I did! It meshes perfectly with everything else.

DIY Carpet Covered Wall

And while many thought I would tire of the carpet covered wall, I still love it. It brings great texture to the space. I have switched out the chair that was in the corner there for this bookshelf, another thrift store find.

Renovated Split-Level Home Tour Full of Color and Character - Palm Beach Chic Master Bedroom

Yes, there are a few empty photo frames there. I’m notorious for putting out frames and taking forever to actually put pictures in them.

Master Sitting Area

We are still enjoying having the sitting area of our master bedroom finished.

Renovated Split-Level Home Tour Full of Color and Character - The Master Bedroom Sitting Area

Wallpaper / Rug / Chairs & Ottomans / Mirror (similar) / Lamp / Table

It definitely has more of a masculine vibe than the main bedroom does and that’s ok – Grunt deserves it.

Renovated Split-Level Home Tour Full of Color and Character - The Master Bedroom Sitting Area

Cabinet Pulls / Cabinet Knobs / TV Cabinet / Horn 

I did add in this console table along one wall. It’s the first piece of furniture Grunt and I ever bought together. I think it’s now on it’s third or fourth life, as I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve painted it. I think it fits well here though. The art print and lamp were more thrifted finds!

    The drop down desk for your daughter’s room is great. I could look at her beside lampshade all day. As far as the bras tables at the end of your bed, if YOU like them there go ahead and enjoy them. I do like the brass lamps.
    Every time I see your black kitchen I want to take a paintbrush and go at our small powder room vanity to paint it black. Enjoy your style.

    Your home has evolved so much since you bought it! I love the surprises you slide into every room with the colors you choose! Living with my dad in his 70s ranch…so much I would love to change because the decor is really stuck in the 70s. I mean, 3 of the bedrooms still have the original orange carpet from when they bought the house!!

      Thanks, Susan! Oh, the orange carpet – I’m willing to be the orange carpet that was in my grandparent’s home at one time is similar to the carpet at your dad’s!

    I love your home so much but let me say, I love your little girl’s room.
    It makes me feel inspired.
    My youngest has the coolest and quirkiest personality and her room color (light purple) doesn’t mesh with that.
    Maybe this summer we will shake it up a bit.

    Also, dark walls in a kids room is GENIUS.

      Thank you, Kari! I really love the Circus’ room too – it’s so playful and fun! Let that youngest of yours do a little redecorating. Mine has also requested to paint her bathroom a new color instead of the gray it is currently sporting. I was like, Yep, that’s totally ok with me because that gray isn’t you!

    I still love your house! Where did you get that big green jug next to the dresser in your bedroom? I’ve been on the lookout for a blue or aqua one like that for my house. I did see one at TJ Maxx one day and should have snatched it up, but didn’t. I’m still kicking myself!

    Also, didn’t you paint your coffee table? What kind of paint is that? I’ve tried several different metallic spray paints but I just can’t find one I really like.

    As always, I love your style. I’m living vicariously, you’re SO much more adventurous than I am!

      Thanks, Brigitte! That big green jug was a great aunt’s and then my dad’s and then he gave it to me! Sorry, I’m not more help there!

      Yep, I did spray paint that coffee table. It’s just good ole Rustoleum Gold Metallic. I’ve also used Design Masters Gold Medal and liked that gold too!
