Spring is my favorite time of year. There’s nothing more soothing than open up the windows and enjoying the fresh spring breeze. I have been enjoying sprucing up my home for spring, and adding fresh flowers is the perfect way to bring spring indoors.
One of the things that makes me really happy in the spring and summer, is fresh, brightly colored flowers. As the days are getting warmer, I try to bring some spring indoors, either cutting flowers from our garden, or buying fresh flowers at the grocery store or farmers market.
I had my kids help out by picking a bunch of lemons from our tree out back. They helped wash them and dry them and place them in the jar.
Of course fresh, spring themed treats are always good to have on hand! I’ve been on a bit of a baking kick too – I tried out two new recipes over the weekend; I posted them earlier this week (Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Cookies with Coconut MnMs and Semi-Homemade Orange Buttercream Cupcakes). I’ll have more delicious (and super easy) recipes in the coming weeks.
Just a few simple touches add a beautiful taste of spring.
So the moral of the post? Simple is beautiful. As long as it makes you smile, that’s all that matters!

Hi! I’m Kristin, the creative mind behind Yellow Bliss Road where you will be inspired by tons of easy to follow recipes, lots of free printables, and a little sprinkling of life thrown in for good measure.
Hi! My name is Leah, and I am working on an aggregate post for our blog thesitsgirls, we have over 10,000 followers on IG and the blog, and are growing everyday.
I love this post on how to do an easy centerpiece with the mason jars and daffodils, and was writing to get your permission to use it in a post next week! Thank you, please email me back and let me know! SUCH CUTE IDEAS!
Simple is beautiful! Your centerpiece makes me want to search for bright lemons and yellow tulips now!
Thank you so much for the inspiration!
Sharing your Easy Spring Centerpiece on fb tomorrow. Such a cute idea!
where did your chairs come from? I have these chairs but they were from someone else and I’ve always wondered where they came from. Thanks!
Where is the table runner from or did you make it?
What a bright and sunny table, welcome spring! I hope you will share this at my hop tomorrow xo P.S. did you get your entry in for my giveaway?
Kristin, this is so simple and SO amazing!! I have that exact same apothecary jar and I too have a lemon tree in my back yard!! Thank you for sharing. It’s gorgeous!!
This is simply perfect! I love your entire dining room. Gorgeous!
Sooo cute! I love it! 🙂
Wow! I love this idea. I never in a million years would have thought of that, but the paper doilies make it looks so feminine and perfect for spring. And I love the contrast with the twine! I am totally going to do this next time I get some flowers 🙂
LOVE the pops of yellow and love your whole dining room! The wall color is gorgeous!
Great and pretty idea…love the way the yellow pops against the chairs!
Love the pop of yellow from the lemons (wow – you have a lemon tree in your yard? So jealous!) and the pretty flowers! Love your simple yet chic way to add spring to a table!
So pretty! Nothing beats yellow in the Spring…so fresh!
So pretty! Tulips are my favorite! They should be out here in another month or so. I must say I am a little jealous of the lemons from your lemon tree part too. Great job!
Um really? Lemons from your very own lemons tree? Lucky!! Yet another reason to be jealous of your California lifestyle :). Soak up some sunshine for me, love your table – looks gorgeous!
Love this so much Kristin! The yellow and white is so pretty and perfectly “springy” 🙂
