Spring Entryway

We have officially enjoyed some spring-like temperatures in NJ this week, so I thought I would add a few spring touches to the very first place our visitors see, our entryway.   

Welcome!

I added some spring-y chalk art to the chalkboard in here.  I also hung a cheery spring wreath that 

I made last year.  It was so easy to make and you can read more about it here.

 

With all of the snow that we have had melting this week, those green mud/rain boots have definitely been put to good use.

I added a bunch of faux flowers to the mail basket that we keep hanging on the these hooks.  I simply wrapped the bouquet in a trimmed brown paper lunch bag and tied some twine around it.  Hopefully, I will get to use those gardening tools soon.

And through the french doors into our family room.

Are you as excited about spring as we are?  It's March in NJ so we certainly haven't seen the last of the cold temps for this year, but even just a few warm days gives up hope of what is to come after a long, frigid winter.
