Today I am joining in on the Joyful Spring home tour, sponsored by hayneedle.com, along with 14 other amazing bloggers. If you are coming from The Porch Light Cottage or Delightfully Noted, welcome! Be sure to follow the schedule at the bottom of the post to check out all the spring tours. Also, there is an awesome hayneedle.com giveaway at the bottom of this post. I love blog hopping and you will not be disappointed by these talented ladies.

Spring officially starts in a week. Considering it snowed last week, I am beyond excited for it to start warming up! I always get excited to decorate for Spring. It means that we are finally getting past the cold and ready to start fresh. Don’t get me wrong, I love having all four seasons in Utah. It is so fun to experience each new season.

One of my favorite spots to decorate is my World Market Everett Table. Easter and Spring are when I venture out and add some color around the house. I picked up this egg garland and grass bunnies at Michael’s. The wreath was a Home Goods find. My husband refers to this as the hallway of shiplap. I just love the character that shiplap gives our entry.

I haven’t shown much of this front room, right off the entry. It has been a work in progress. We have our piano and a sofa in here. I am still loving this DIY framed botanical gallery to go above the sofa. The perfect rug for this room is still out there. I just need to find it and bring it home.

My living room, dining room, and kitchen are all open to each other. I love open concept spaces. It just feels like there is more room. I can also be a part of all the action going on in the other areas while cooking in the kitchen.

This adorable mad hatter hat, egg garland, and big bunny (on the coffee table) are from Michael’s.

This rolling pin was actually at the Target Dollar Spot for Valentine’s Day. I thought it carried over to Easter perfectly too. My kids just love turning on this marquee bunny from Michael’s. The poor mini chicks have also taken quite the beating from my little ones. I don’t know if they will survive another Eater around here. 🙂

Ok, let me tell you about the best shopping experience ever, hayneedle.com. It is like Home Goods, T.J. Maxx, and Target all combined but better! Way cuter selection and the prices are AMAZING! The best part is that I get to do all my shopping while wearing my pajamas in bed. I don’t have to drag my kids in and out of a million stores to find one thing I am looking for. I had the hardest time trying to decide what I wanted to order for this spring tour. There may, or may not, be a whole cart full items still waiting to be purchased. 🙂 Hayneedle was so kind to send me this duvet set and bench for my master bedroom spring refresh. I have been searching for the perfect duvet for this bedroom since we moved in. I am in love with the look and feel of this duvet. It is like sleeping in luxury hotel bedding. Since the name is Luxury Hotel Microfiber Set, totally makes sense now! Mr. Whitelane even thinks it feels super comfy.

A bench is a necessity in our bedroom. Mr. Whitelane wakes up way earlier than me. Every time he puts on his shoes, he sits on the end of the bed. I am a light sleeper and I would always wake up. Not anymore. This bench has saved me many minutes of sleep. I love the black metal base that ties into our barn door. Best of all, it was so easy to assemble and came right to my front door. It has also withstood the kid superhero test. Many jumps later, still going strong. It was my first time ordering with hayneedle.com and I am definitely hooked! Hayneedle is also giving away a $250 shopping spree to one of you! Click HERE to enter your email and follow @hayneedle on Instagram. Contest runs until March 20th. Good luck!

Don’t worry, the tour doesn’t stop here. Go check out these other awesome ladies in the schedule below. We have loved putting the Joyful Spring Home Tour together. It has been such fun showing you our spring decor and working with hayneedle.com. Tomorrow is the final day of the tour. So, don’t miss out!

Barn Door

Our builder wanted to charge us a couple hundred dollars to have a door from our master bedroom to the bathroom. Otherwise, it would just be an opening. There was no way I was paying to have another basic door like the rest of the house. Having a door open into the bathroom from the bedroom would be a waste of space too. I opted to leave it as an opening and I would add my own barn door later. The barn door would save space and be way cuter!

(Don’t laugh at my bathroom mirror. We are in the middle of putting shiplap on the wall behind the mirror. So for now, it is just sitting there.)

I started looking for barn doors and hardware. I could not decide what style I wanted, from the door to the hardware. I looked for months trying to find the perfect style and price. Well, I found pieces of what I wanted here and there but they were way over priced. Then one day I was at my second home, Home Depot. Strolling the aisles I came across their selection of barn doors. I found this Masonite Knotty Alder “Z” barn door. It needed some adjustments but I knew I could make it work. At $499 for the door and hardware, I was sold! Plus, I had a coupon. We loaded up this bad boy and brought it home to get to work. I loved the planks and face of the door. I didn’t love the knotty alder wood. The door comes unfinished so you can paint or stain it. I knew I wanted it white. Shocker! I did not want all the knots to show up so I filled them with wood filler. One side at a time. Once it was dry, I sanded them down smooth. Now, we had a nice smooth wood surface to paint.

I got out my favorite spray can primer, KILZ. I attached my spray gun nozzle (so my finger wouldn’t die) and started spraying. I used the same method as in my video tutorial. After the primer dried, I gave it a fine sanding with 180 grit sandpaper. I flipped the door over and did the same thing to the other side. I used a compressor to blow off all the dust from sanding. I also took a clean rag and wiped down both sides really well. Now I was ready to paint.

I really wanted to use Krylon spray paint for the door too. It is just so easy and quick to use. However, I decided to match the paint with the other doors and trim. Sherwin Williams was having their big 40% off paint sale. Talk about good timing. I grabbed a gallon of semi-gloss “High Reflective White.” I do have a paint sprayer but I hardly ever use it. It is a lot of work and sometimes just a pain. It had to be done, so I busted it out. I even made a little video, just for fun.

I got a 1×4 solid wood primed header piece to attach the hardware and door to the wall. I sprayed the header while I was spraying the door. I did not love the handle that came with the door. I found this one at Lowe’s that matched our house better. Our awesome contractor hung the door for us and I am loving it!
