Before we do anything else, I want to chat just a minute about what’s going on in the world around us.

First, I want to say that I hope you are all safe, and taking good care of yourselves. Since my website revolves exclusively around my home, I am going to continue to bring you refreshing and easy ideas for your own homes. If life gets in the way, and you can’t open my emails, or visit my blog, no worries. Just come back when you can.

In the coming weeks, I’m going to try to share some easy recipes, since most of us will be sticking close to home. I would love to share some organization ideas as well, so hopefully I can pull those together. I will do my best to offer you inspiration for easy living, and while you are here, a short break from the world today.

One more thing. In the spirit of full disclosure, I am actually writing this from my iPhone…which is a challenge to say the least. My laptop refuses to turn on. So to save myself the torture of phone typing, I am going to skip my usual narrative, and just show you the pictures of my spring living room. All the sources and related links are at the end of the post. Please let me know if you have any questions by sending me an email at ann@onsuttonplace.com.

  1. Hi Ann, wondering if the baskets are removable on your blanket ladder? I think I may have a great spot to place one in my formal living room. Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful decorating ideas!

  3. Ann, I love your inspiring tips, recipes and your positive enthusiasm. I have thought about ordering a blanket ladder for some time and finally did today. I have the perfect spot for it. Thank you for your wonderful blog. I’ll look forward to each new post, especially now that we are ‘sheltering ‘ at home for what may be a long time. Stay healthy!

  5. Lovely pictures! Thanks Ann. A bit of normalcy is great. I’m in the UK in isolation with my family listening to news of school closures! Your blog is a lovely reminder of the beautiful things in life. These strange days certainly remind us that loved ones and basic comforts are what life is all about. Stay safe.

    Beautiful home tour! I just finished my asymmetrical plate wall and it was so much fun using my Mother’s collection of hand soft pastel painted plates. I moved away from home while in college and we didn’t live close to each other, but it’s amazing how our decorating styles and favorite colors were so similar. Guess it’s in the genes! Please take care of yourself! Happy St. Patty’s Day!! 🍀

  16. Ann, I just love your living room. Every time I see it, I just swoon!! I love the little touches of blues…green and that hot pink. My favorite is your plate wall. I’ve saved it to my Pinterest board so that someday I might get to re-create it. I have a plate wall but my dishes are all white…now to me it looks boring. :) You and your family stay safe too, and thanks for thinking of us. I’ve been quarantined by my family…since last Wednesday…only because they are concerned. I’m at that age where they think they can say that! :)

    Thanks Anne for all your inspiration! With everything going nowadays it is hard to get inspired, your ideas and photos give me a springtime lift! I turned off the TV and could hear the birds outside ! Since I am over the magical age of 60 I am staying home and sewing quilts! Decorating for spring and starting some in door spring cleaning! I hope everyone stays healthy and enjoys their time at home!

    Your pictures are a calm oasis in a crazy crazy world. The colors are so happy, and white always pops them and makes everything clean looking. Speaking of clean, however do you keep your couch so spotless? If I had white, it would be a dingy grey brown in no time! Cheers and I hope your family is doing well. Stay safe.

  28. Your home is lovely and not only that, but it also looks so welcoming. Today is such a gray gloomy day that I’m beginning to wonder if I should get out my spring decor and liven the place up a little. I love the pillows on your couch especially the green trellis ones. Beautiful.

  40. This certainly is a time we will think back on and know that with common sense to things we can live thru a lot. It also should give us time to look at our homes and find so much comfort in them and with your help so much beauty. Just love your posts – look forward to them to brighten my day.
