Hello and welcome to the Hop Into Spring Home Tours hosted by Amber of Follow The Yellow Brick Home. Debra from Common Ground was featured before me and her charming vignettes are so inspirational! The days here at Storybook Cottage have begun to grow a bit warmer. It is time to clear out the doldrums of winter and create a Springtime Bedroom Refresh For Under $30.
Springtime Bedroom Refresh For Under $30
In the master bedroom, I had created a neutral cocoon for both the fall…
…and the winter seasons.
While I still love the calmness of a neutral white palette I was ready to add a bit of color. I had seen a darling pink buffalo plaid duvet and pillowcase set from Ikea on another blog.
A quick trip led to a bit of a disappointment as they did not have a Full/Queen size in stock. But they did have a soft watery green set. If I am honest this is probably a better color choice since I share the space with Mr. Decor. It was priced right at $29.99 for the duvet cover and two pillow shams.
Since I organized my home decor accessories I find it so much easier to shop my home when seeking a room refresh.
I simply swapped out the artwork, decor accents, and pillow covers.
There is something about spring cleaning that makes me want to have minimal decor on the nightstands.
The settee also received a few different pillows.
This sweet tweet was originally purchased at HomeGoods for the living room a few years ago. But I have seen similar styles this season.
I remember loving the various embroidery stitches used and that still holds true today.
The best part of shopping your home is, of course, the money saved. But I also enjoy finding new ways to display old favorites.
Thank you for visiting Decor To Adore. The next beautiful spring home can be found at the gorgeous Petite Haus.
The entire tour is so inspiring and charming!
Are you decorating your bedroom for spring?

Your bedroom is so pretty, Laura. You just can’t go wrong with big checks and that color is perfection for your room and it fits in so well with the rest of your home. Gorgeous!!
Beautiful! What a restful space. I love the bench and all its finery!
I love the green, it is so pretty in your room.
That all looks super pretty, Laura.
Every time I look at one of your sweet updates though, I can’t help but think that I can’t do any of this with the bedding at our house. Not with 4 cats who shed and one who pukes at any given time on anything. So, I have to have a dark throw blanket over our bedding just in case (nothing light that will show stains). I’m thinking most beautiful decorating is for houses without those kinds of pets, lol.

So very pretty, Laura! Your colors are so soothing and perfect for spring! And oh dear I’m afraid that pink duvet set just made its way into my cart
Thank you for the inspiration, and happy spring! xo, Andrea
Your room is lovely, Laura! I love the colors and the big check…and the bird pillow is pure whimsy!
I love shopping my home. There’s so much here and if I vow to live the the use-it-or-lose-it rule (I’m trying hard to do that!) I am set just fine! I love your bedroom in all seasons. That duvet is so pretty. I’d love the pink, I’ve gotta say. For some reason I have pink issues this year. I want it all the time!
IT looks beautiful! I love the idea of swapping art for a refresh to new seasons.
I love how you styled your bedroom for every season. The pretty blue is a nice refreshing addition for the Spring!
Hi Laura, the green is perfect for your lovely and comfy looking bedroom. IKEA has such amazing bargains, I really hate that we don’t have one nearby. that settee and the slipcover is gorgeous, love the wonderful monogram and bird pillow!
So so pretty! Love the blue jars painting!
It all looks very nice! That’s a good solution to an excess pillow problem – put some away and change them out every now and then.
I love IKEA’s buffalo plaids…I actually have the grey. The green is one I haven’t seen before. It’s so pretty! Love your room refresh. That bird pillow is adorable!
Laura
Your Spring refresh is like a breath of Spring, so pretty.

Love your Spring bedroom! I had no idea Ikea updated their buffalo check colors. I love the blue/green! I also love the pillows. Everything looks so charming.
I love your bedroom — anything with checks wins my heart.
Everything looks so fresh and ready for spirng!
Love
Wish I lived near an IKEA! Your purchases worked beautifully. I love the minimal look on night stands but in everyday living mine stay rather cluttered! Your bedroom is lovely in all seasons. Love your art work over your bed and settee! Your bird pillow is lovely. Home Goods is also far away for me.I enjoyed your tour very much.
Your refreshed bedroom looks beautiful! I love the checked duvet cover. A great neutral for what ever colours you plan to add. It looks so peaceful and serene with the blues but would be just as much at home with any rosy pink or soft yellow or even a black! Love your choice. (Although I probably would have loved the pink one too and would have been a wee bit disappointed it wasn’t there.! lol)
Thank you for sharing your lovely inspiration.
Laura, your bedroom is so relaxing and inviting! I love the shade of blue you chose. Everything makes me want to curl up with a good book and a hot cuppa.
Very pretty. Shopping the house is always fun and time and money saving.
Absolutely lovely!!! Your bedroom is gorgeous, such a serene spot to lay your head at night. I love it in every season!!
Your bedroom is so calming and soothingly beautiful. I’m completely smitten with the embroidered cover on the settee. I have a pair of embroidered pillowcases that my favorite Aunt did that I cherish.
Laura, what a perfect example you’ve given us of how we can give a room a whole different look and feel with just a few simple changes!
Love your spring bedroom! I’m sorry you weren’t able to get the colors you originally wanted, but I think you will be happier with the greens in the long run. Both the pink and green color schemes are very pretty and I’d have a tough time choosing between them!
Oh that sweet little pillow is so precious and I love that bench! The soft colors of your bedding will be perfect for spring!. I always love fresh hydranges and your beautiful bedside arrangement and painting are charming! Thank you so much for joining the hop. I am lookinh forward so seeing more of your home in upcomimg posts!
Your room is beautiful! Each season looks so inviting and cozy. Thank you for the wonderful ideas!!

I love IKEA. There are always wonderful things to find. Your bedroom is lovely. All your choices are perfect.
Great makeover Laura! We now have an Ikea in our area & I find it quite incredible. I always find something I’m not looking for. LOL I think the soft green duvet was a happy change, subtle not drastic. We need to be reminded to shop our own homes for using things in a different way!
Blessings, Edie Marie
All so pretty!
would you mind sharing where you got the f;loral throw pi;;ow?
Your Spring bedroom is beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration.
Such a pretty room. I love the way you mixed the florals with the check. It’s very peaceful and that is exactly what you want in a bedroom
Hi Laura, I was going to share your post but none of the buttons at the top of your page work. The only 2 that worked were Instagram at the bottom and Facebook at the end of your post. I hate to see you missing out on shares. Have a good week
Hi! Visiting from Encouraging Hearts and Home linkup! I am loving the spring sprucing you did! Looks great!
I love those big buffalo checks in soft colors! Thank you for sharing these beautiful ideas and inspiration. I’m ready to brighten things up!
Wow! Those colors are so pretty! I love that print, wish I could convince my husband to be okay with something like that
Laura, what a bargain on that duvet and sham set! Really a nice refresh for spring. Love your settee and the bird pillow!! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
