I figured I would wait until after the holidays once I was ready for some cheerful spring-like touches. One of the things I love most about sticking with a neutral palette is that it is so easy to switch around a few pillows or accessories and get a new look. It obviously doesn't change things that much, but it does help me look around and feel like the promise of spring is on the horizon! <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Adding some Spring Colors In our Kitchen and Family Room

Because I had a ton of cleaning to do indoors in a very short amount of time (our poor garage and closets were disasters), I ended up just cleaning off the porch and adding some plants and a few of the items from last spring one afternoon right before we left for NH. I figured if we weren't able to sell our house I would still have plenty of time once we got back to paint the hutch and change things up a little. However, we got an offer while we were gone last week so our house is officially under contract! (For those of you who have asked: yes, we are staying in Williamsburg, and no, we don't know where exactly we are moving yet. I suppose we 'd better get moving on that...) Obviously there are still quite a few steps before our closing but we are excited so far! Because of that I will be slowly starting to pack up everything and therefore won't be making any changes out here on this porch. Here it is how it looks right now though:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjQpXpvHLy4pBFaa_RCQhUnkv8ungarvC0uwIQqI7cFFAJUyZtP-9nlys0VlpNuQcgyfrXYHyn5pDgoQCITV4-SnleBw0OGr1Ce-M-KZJmZjpdTPEnY2Lssa1s85StafmVtBGhdEROSUNg/s1600/aMarch_3041.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Eventually I would like to replace the legs on these chairs entirely but for now the paint and wax at least helps make them more appealing. I used Shenandoah Taupe by Benjamin Moore for the paint and then added some of Annie Sloan's Dark Wax over the top.  We also sort of got a new lamp. I actually ordered it for Jason's house back during our last Joss and Main event but on accident put in my shipping address (honestly, it wasn't on purpose!) and now I kind of want to keep it. =)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Or maybe even in late April. I moved our coffee table from the family room in here for about two weeks, but didn't love it. It was a little too rustic looking and I like it so much better in the family room. I few days after I took these pictures I ended up doing a bunch of rearranging in here, and I finally painted and waxed the legs on the chairs and will show you that soon. This is how it looked in here, though, for most of March. =) <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGKrRT-UUdlJImJGRTDQzW1dg06KT-BF171g2OX362mt_MfF-4cDHy5GO7i4h-zLI5InMkIe4TmlB69-yeMWgfH5WR-xrUWZuaCD33uH4HvIkNR5IkOYAqkC_9AYhpZ0gqkOop2mUk3XI/s1600/2March_1423.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGKrRT-UUdlJImJGRTDQzW1dg06KT-BF171g2OX362mt_MfF-4cDHy5GO7i4h-zLI5InMkIe4TmlB69-yeMWgfH5WR-xrUWZuaCD33uH4HvIkNR5IkOYAqkC_9AYhpZ0gqkOop2mUk3XI/s640/2March_1423.jpg" width="640" /></a> <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjKk_U4yvK6ZzuqBS9KEmOoctrM3Q6EhGRVjsy3WfGVNsbRbkrt2mHqlz74jwK2P1TnPMbaiEwgJUWz8RH98gtnK_C8ZRu-MxVu19QAKMCPtKMIxbz6HFfeEO6rz83B5KB3MExZ5Njd8/s1600/2March_1400.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjKk_U4yvK6ZzuqBS9KEmOoctrM3Q6EhGRVjsy3WfGVNsbRbkrt2mHqlz74jwK2P1TnPMbaiEwgJUWz8RH98gtnK_C8ZRu-MxVu19QAKMCPtKMIxbz6HFfeEO6rz83B5KB3MExZ5Njd8/s640/2March_1400.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Sorry - I should have painted the legs on the chairs BEFORE I took these pictures.
