Easy Ways to Refresh Your Home for Spring
Hello! I am so glad you stopped by! If you are visiting from Zevy Joy – welcome! I love Annie’s home and I am so excited for her family’s new adventures! Today I am SO excited to share some easy DIY projects and ideas that I created to refresh our home for Spring! This is the first spring that we have been in our 1891 home since our kitchen, family room, laundry room and pantry remodels! It was so much fun to add some spring elements to those rooms. We are almost done with our airbnb remodel downstairs, next up is the bathrooms upstairs. But in the meantime, I thought I would give you a tour of our main floor all decked out for Spring!
Spring Ideas for The Porch
Weather you have a big porch, a patio or a small landing, there are some easy ways you can bring spring to your front door! Your front door is the first thing people see when they come to your home so if you only have time to refresh one space, I would say start with your porch!
Add a Wreath
A wreath is an easy way to refresh your door. This one is a Sharpie Egg Wreath that I made last year. I switched out the little sign on the front and it’s still one of my favorite wreaths!
Faux Flowers on the Spring Porch
We’re in Utah and it’s still below freezing half of the time in March. I can’t have real flowers so I added some faux flowers for color.
Spring Pillows on the Porch
Pillow covers are an easy and inexpensive way to add a touch of spring to your home – inside or out! I added some bright pillow covers. I have a super easy 10-minute spring pillow cover tutorial if you want to make some this weekend!
Spring Entryway
I just did a big refresh in this entryway! Check out me Instagram @tatertotsandjello to see what I did. I love the new look. I added a positive sign from my @Pebbles collection, a beautiful concrete candle from my friend Sparrow Candle Co. and some target dollar spot bins and a little plant. So easy!
Adding Spring Elements in the Kitchen
I kept it pretty simple in the kitchen. I added some fresh flowers, a spring printable you can download and a couple faux blooms.
My mom gave me the scottish lavender heart and I love that it brings happy color to our room!
Spring Tablescape
In our dining room I made a little tablescape for Easter! I used a green gingham tablecloth and a purple flower arrangement. I think the green and purple combination is so pretty!
Family Room Refresh
One of the most exciting things that has happened in the last year was this new fireplace!! Can you believe this was once a blank wall?? We installed an electric insert and build a fireplace surround that is built into the planking that continues from the kitchen. I love how cozy the fireplace makes our family room. It’s our favorite place to spend family time and game nights!
Upcycle an old Pallet into a Spring Flower Display
The main thing I did in our family room was I upcycled a pallet I had from our basement remodel by spray painting it white and adding some clips for bottles. I put dried flowers in the bottles so I don’t have to change them out as often but you can totally put fresh flowers in them too!
Spring Coffee Table Centerpiece
This is a super simple project. I turned two frames into a tiered footed centerpiece by spray painting them and adding some pretty scrapbook paper to the bottom. You can get all the details on my Spring Coffee Table Centerpiece post! Just add a vase of flowers and some spring items.
Spring in the Pantry and Laundry Room
This backroom had a big sauna in it when we moved into our home. The laundry room was in the dark basement so I knew I wanted to bring the laundry room upstairs. Plus the fact that the house is four stories tall and our master bedroom is in the attic. So doing laundry meant dragging it down four flights of stairs! We created a wall and put the laundry room on one side and built a pantry with a double oven and fridge on the other side. This is our baking area and we have enjoyed it so much!

Office Craft Room Refresh
I work in my office all day long so I added a few items to give the room a spring feeling!
Spring Mantel
I have an original 1891 fireplace in my office. It’s small and sweet and I love decorating it. I created a paper flower hoop wreath, put it in front of a letter board with a spring saying and added a couple of banners and faux flowers.
Now we have made a loop and we are back at the front of our home! Sometimes it seems like our remodel is taking forever, but when I look back at a year ago and see everything that has happened I am amazed and so grateful! Thank you for stopping by!
