The Seasonal Tree is now assuming its Spring identity.

This very personalized home in Sweden is so interesting. The living room is so small, that the sofa is under the stairs, but it works.

The other side chairs are a variety of small, light pieces. 

The home has a lovely old exposed brick wall in the kitchen dining area, that opens to the patio. A simple white table is surrounded by assorted chairs.

The updated kitchen has white Shaker cabinets, black counters and a modern farm sink. The green backsplash fits the decor perfectly.

A daughter’s room feature wall has 5 rolls of wallpaper- I love that. 

Pretty, subdued floral wallpaper with shades of restful gray accented with white and pink are the colors of the main bedroom.

For backyard privacy, they used a simple rollout fencing.

We have a house with floor space fit for Chihuahuas and Pomeranians, so of course we keep Borzoi.

It seemed impossible to find a house that did not cost too much. In the end, Hannah and Don got a chance to build their own house. They filled it with personal decor in white and black, filled with flea market finds and green plants.

The shoe storage in the hall consists of an army box on wheels to facilitate cleaning. The future sleeping loft is located above the closets. The rocking horse is a flea market find.

The geranium is beautiful even without flowers. The ladder, which has been washed and painted, originally came from a nearby farm scrap yard. The army water bottles are covered with cloth. Bottles and vases are from the flea market.

The base of the kitchen is high gloss black and white. The carpet is an heirloom.

Living room and kitchen are separated by a wall with, among other things, fridge and freezer. The medicine bag is an inheritance from Hannah's grandfather.

The pressed glass used as a pot is actually a lampshade.

All shelves in the kitchen are made of old pallets used in shop fittings. They have been cut and fitted with cast iron brackets. Jars, glasses and coffee cups, from flea markets.

The living room has an open floor plan to the dining area. The coffee table is an army box. The sofa was bought at auction. The family built the TV bench themselves from recycled material.

Open shelves provide the opportunity to quickly change the interior and green plants give it life. The simple metal shelf has been painted matte black. The stool is a flea market find.

The white painted bedroom is romantic with the bed's crocheted bedspread. The headboard is a container find. Suitcases are from flea markets.

Ameena's room is a lovely color bomb with fabrics.

Hannah and Don have painted and set up old apple boxes that are now used for storing toys.

The shower curtain has been sewn by Hannah and Don themselves from a window curtain.

If you’re into pale pastels, you’ll love Danielle’s home.

Most of the colors are pale, but there’re pops of orange, too. 

What a cozy little place to sit, in front of the fireplace.

Pretty sky blue kitchen. 

Notice how she uses small benches and textiles to inexpensively accent the decor.

Danielle’s bedroom has an interesting tile headboard.

Danielle’s little girl’s room has a lovely pink vintage school locker for storage.

Ariel lives in military housing and has to move a lot, but she doesn’t let renting get in the way of having a fabulous home. She hid plastic stair treads by installing this runner herself. 

Basic bookshelves look like built-ins if you add paint and molding.

Mid century modern in the dining room, and lots of color and patterns. 

Changing the cabinet pulls and painting the walls a bold color update a rental kitchen. She will have to repaint when she moves, but it’s worth it.

She hung curtains to hide an off-center window.

A faux inlaid dresser made with a stencil. 

Pink & black paint with some fun accessories really livened up this bathroom. She has some excellent ideas for renters.
