Updating Our Entryway for Spring
We made some huge changes these past few weeks and I can’t wait to share it with you today. Here’s how we’re updating our entryway for Spring.
Today I am oh-so-excited to be joining some of my favorite bloggers across the web sharing corners of our home for Spring!
I finally tackled my entryway and I’m so pleased with the results.
But before we get into the nitty gritty – lemme first say thank you to Leen from Sand Dollar Lane for all her hard work putting this hop together!
If you are here from Libbie’s blog, A Life Unfolding, I am so happy you are here! Libbie is a dear friend and I just love how she decorates her home – and this season – all the pops of color make me smile!
And if this is your first time to Noting Grace – come on in and make yourself at home. There’s always coffee available, so grab a cuppa and relax! But if you want to learn more about me, you can always visit this post.
One thing you’ll quickly learn is that Trent and I are always in the midst of one DIY project or another, and for this Spring Entryway, we were knocking down walls, y’all!
Let’s start with a before pic and I’ll share all the fun details of this tiny foyer.

Popcorn ceiling, dark decor, and pretty, well….. blah!
On the other side of that wall is our living room, affectionately called the Jen Den!
And opening up my home and seeing bland walls was boring.
So I knew I needed to brighten up this space and give it some pizazz.
Here’s how it looks now!
So much better, right?
I swapped out the light fixture with this fun and affordable drum light from Amazon.
That little hint of antique brass makes me smile!
And speaking of antique brass – I added a few more touches here and there.
This sheet music came from our family – which means a lot since Trent and I are both musicians.
Since it’s an Easter Hymn – I thought it was the perfect way to welcome Spring into this entryway!
That ironstone pitcher was recently given to me from my mother-in-law and I absolutely adore it!
So I added some pretty pink faux flowers and pink eucalyptus and called it done!
I also added a fun new herringbone rug to the entry.
It’s a bit on the chunky side, so I’m undecided if it’s going to stay here, but for now – I love the texture it adds.
This chicken coop organizer has been with me for years, and I needed something for this space.
The issue – right where I wanted to place it, our return air vent lives. But being the daughter of an HVAC guy, I knew putting furniture in front of the return vent is a big no-no!
So I ripped off the back and added some quatrefoil mesh backing.
The vent is covered, air can still get through, and I’m a happy camper!
I added some old books, some of my favorite milk glass pieces along with some mini creamers that I love to collect.
Quick, easy and simple….
Well – with the exception of ripping out an entire wall – but I plan on sharing the details next week! So be sure to come back!
But oh so worth it!
I love how the light pours in from my front door now!
And you can see all the way back to my favorite room – my sunroom!
So I hope you enjoyed this quick tour of how we are updating our entryway for Spring! I’m so glad you read my post.

This spring, we’re updating our entryway for a fresh new look! We’re replacing the old carpet with hardwood floors and adding a new coat of paint. We’re also updating the lighting and adding a few new pieces of furniture. We hope you enjoy the transformation!
