How to add a touch of Spring to a small entryway

Hello! I am very excited over here today for many reasons. 1. It hit 50 degrees here in my neck of the woods – a huge deal for March in Michigan. 2. I am sharing the small entryway at the Airbnb all prettied up for Spring. 3. I am participating in a blog hop Celebrating Spring hosted by my sweet friend Leen @ Sand Dollar Lane along with some amazing blogging friends. There is so much Springtime Inspiration…..seriously. So. So. Much.

If you are visiting today from KariAnne’s @Thistlewood Farms, a warm welcome to each of you, I could fangirl for hours over KairAnne and her beautiful home, but you were just there, so you know about all the Spring gorgeousness!

Now let’s get this party started! Today, I am sharing our Spring entryway at the Airbnb. It’s small, but I really wanted the first impression to feel cozy and comfortable while at the same time celebrating Spring from the moment you first walk in the door.

I have to admit I like to keep my seasonal decor simple for the most part. My motto is to add a bit of color, something live (plants or flowers), and something scented!

Because the front door opens with this Penny tile greeting, I have to be careful, or the space could get really busy fast!

I started by switching out a few of the art pieces on the wall and added some prints with pretty pops of color and patterns. I was really keeping it simple this year and bought the same size prints and literally just swapped out the art! The “HI” piece stays up all year.

I looooove fresh flowers. They, along with living plants, are my love language. I buy most of my flowers from the grocery store so that helps keep my budget in check. This week I found Tulips and they are my very favorites and the perfect touch for Spring.

I also switched out the books to those with colorful covers. Since I offer a large selection of books to read at the Airbnb, it was easy to pull out a few prettier ones. My favorite addition to the entry table is the pretty pussy willow plant.

I wish you could smell the candle I added! It’s Lavender Vanilla and smells fresh and clean.

A quick tip on adding a little more Spring… The plant came in one of those orange plastic pots. I hot glued some moss on the pot, and it’s so much cuter!

That’s it for my small entryway, simple but definitely feeling Spring vibes over here now.
