Welcome to my Spring home tour here at Bunker Hill! This year I’m sharing the pretty cottage touches that I have added for Spring.
Spring Home Tour
Well, I made it through another New England winter. It’s amazing, as soon as I feel that first Spring breeze I forget about all those cold, dark winter days!!
I have to make a confession…I start bringing out Spring decor and making new Spring crafts while there is still snow on the ground. It helps chase away the Winter blues.
Welcome To The Blogger’s Best Spring Home Tour!
Hi everyone! Today is the first day of the Blogger’s Best Spring Home Tour hosted by Kelly from The Tattered Pew and Mansa from This is Simplicite. I’m joining so many incredible bloggers this week as we open our doors and give you all a tour of our Spring homes.
Each day 6 bloggers will be sharing their beautiful homes to give you some Spring inspiration!
You can find each link at the end of this post.
If you are hopping over from Kim’s tour at Shiplap And Shells isn’t her home the absolute cutest!! Did you know she’s in the new Cottage Style (Better Homes & Gardens) Magazine that just hit the shelves?? How cool is that??!!
If it’s your first time here, I’m Jennifer and I’m on the opposite coast from Kim in New Hampshire. I live in the seacoast area with my husband and sons. We both have the love of the ocean, gardening, and decorating!

Spring Ideas in the Living Room
In my living room, I added a few little touches of Spring. On my coffee table, I popped my favorite faux tulips in a thrifted pitcher. I love a good thrift store bargain and this pitcher was $3.
My little DIY cement bunnies found a home in this tray along with my ivy that I started from a cutting. Ivy is so funny, one day it’s a tiny cutting and then the next time you look it’s a sprawling plant.
I have a small house and love multi-functional pieces that I can use for hidden storage. My Better Homes and Gardens Cube Organizers hide a whole lotta toys!! By day I have a small home daycare and the bins are the best for organizing and hiding toys.
Shop My Living Room
This is a great spot for some of my houseplants. They thrive with the bright morning sun coming through my big picture window,
Spring Entryway
A perfect spot to bring in a little bit of Spring is on my entryway table. After I put my Christmas decor away, I couldn’t wait to hang up this gorgeous mirror that I bought at the Vintage Bazaar New England.
What is more Spring-y in New Hampshire than blooming forsythia?? I cut a few branches from my bush and brought them inside to force.
Have you ever forced branches before? It’s a wonderful way to get a jump on the season and bring a little color into your home…for free!! All you have to do is clip a few flowering branches and put them in water and be patient.
The vases were thrift store finds that I made over. Check out the before&after right HERE.
I cut these branches a few weeks ago and they have been blooming for 2 weeks so far!

You can grab my Spring printable HERE to make your own Spring sign.
Spring Kitchen
Who else is a tulip fanatic?? I thought so! It will be a while before my happy little tulips start popping up in my garden but for now, I’ll enjoy them in my kitchen!!
There’s nothing like a vase of flowers to brighten up a space! (Even if they are faux…but c’mon aren’t these real looking!!)
My green dining table is the perfect spot for a pretty Spring tablescape!
I combined a mix of greens, whites, and natural elements on my table.
Always on the hunt for a bargain; I scored the white round Better Homes and Gardens dinner plates on clearance for 80¢ each!! They work so well with my other white dining pieces.
Shop My Kitchen
The corner kitchen hutch (Paint color is SW Coriander & Olive) is all dressed up for Spring!
The hutch was original to this house and I found it in the basement when we moved in. I’ve painted it a few different colors so far…but I really love this green! You can see the evolution of this piece here.
I filled a pedestal bowl with painted speckled eggs and grapevine to look like a bird’s nest.
I have a quick video to show you how I did it!
Do you like to mix vintage and new pieces as much as I do? I thrifted the silver tray for $2! The DIY moss ball topiaries I made last month have found a new home in my kitchen hutch.
To make your own topiaries
The perfect backdrop for a Spring kitchen; colorful botanical prints. Even on a dreary day, they brighten up my kitchen! You can download the botanicals HERE and make your own gallery wall (or even just a couple to cheer up your home too!) Plus, see how much this space has changed in the past couple of years!!
I hope you enjoyed my Spring tour! Up next is my friend Paula please go see her Spring Home Tour and tell her I said hi!!

Thanks Ana!! The branches are pretty…and free!!
Love the way you’re celebrating Spring, Jennifer! It’s all so beautiful and I’m crazy for those bunnies too. They’re super cute and creative. Hugs for a happy weekend, CoCo
Thanks Coco!! I think I’m going to seal them and put outside in a planter…I’d be sad to pack them away!!
I need to go out and cut some forsythia now. Pinned and happy to be hopping with you this week😄
Yes! It’s getting close for them to open outside.
Loved touring your pretty spring home, Jennifer. That DIY bird’s nest and eggs are so cute!

Thank you Rachel!! I love this group of bloggers…I’m so inspired by every one of you!!
I loved seeing your home all decorated for Spring, Jennifer! Your green cabinet is a beautiful color; love how it sets everything off. You are so good at incorporating beautiful textures into everything you do; love your creativity! So fun to be on a tour together!
Awww, Lora that was so sweet!! That made my morning!!
Your home is so pretty all decorated for spring! I love the little bird nests! I need you to teach me your thrift shopping tricks, you have such great finds!
Thank you Leen!!! Sometimes I just get really lucky when I’m thrifting!! I think it’s because I live in New England and we just have cool old stuff everywhere too.
Jennifer your Spring tour was beautiful! I am obsessed with your speckled eggs. They look so realistic! And your photography is just amazing. Thank you so much for joining us this week!
Oh, Thank you so much Kelly!! I love these blog hops!!
Jennifer – I just love how you styled your home this season! Your dining table is so pretty and cozy! Love seeing those DIY bunnies, too – super cute!
Thanks so much, Jennifer!! I have a crush on those little guys!! They may relocate into my garden after Easter!
Your Spring decor is beautiful Jennifer, and congrats on making it through the winter! 😉 I love how bright your home looks, and all your DIY projects, thrifted items and painted projects work so well together! How cool that you found that gorgeous hutch in your basement!! It looks amazing! And yes, tulips are my absolute fave!! 🌷💕 So happy to be hopping with you this week!
Cindy, you are the sweetest!! I can’t wait to see your Spring tour this week!!
Oh my gosh, Jennifer! This is so beautiful and full of springtime inspiration. Where do I start? Those botanical prints are the best, I only wish I had more wall space to have a dedicated wall for them. They make such a gorgeous statement. And the tray with the white faux tulips and ivy is adorable. Don’t you love how real faux flowers look now? It’s always fun to force bloom forsythia, yours looks wonderful. So happy to be on the tour with you. Looking forward to the rest of the week!
Thanks Kim!!! I get the lack of wall space…small house living!! Seriously, remember how just a few year’s ago how fake all flowers used to look?? Now I can spend 20 bucks and have tulips for months!!
Your Spring tour looks beautiful! So many pretty spaces, it’s hard to pick a favorite. I do love your botanical prints and you did such an awesome DIY on the bunnies! Well done, friend!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much Kim!! I do love those prints, they always make me happy!!

Jennifer what a beautiful tour! I particularly love your gallery print wall! Gets me every time! xoxo
Thanks Stacy! I still really love it…which is surprising since I like to change things up so often!!
I love your Spring home!! It’s gorgeous!! My favorites are your DIY bunnies and your Spring printable! LOVE THEM!!! Have a great week friend!
