As I write this, it is currently snowing like a fiend and the sun is simultaneously shining outside. Talk about an oxymoron if there ever was one!
But doesn’t it seem fitting for this time of year? Spring here in Wisconsin hasn’t really officially sprung yet. Although we’ve had a few slightly warmer days, it still feels like winter just wants to hold on a little while longer.
But inside my house, I am rebelling! Noooooooo!!!
Buh bye winter. Hello spring!
Today’s post is all about how you can transform your kitchen in some simple ways that will hopefully make you feel like spring is right around the corner.

It’s amazing how something as simple as a good spring clean or a bouquet of fresh flowers on the counter can help you fall in love with the home you have — whether it’s a tiny apartment or your dream home.
First, grab this free set of Mrs. Meyer’s spring hand soap + dish soap + multi-surface spray + spring kitchen towel Click Here to Get It! with your first order of $20 from Grove Collaborative. You can choose from three limited-edition Mrs. Meyer’s spring scents: mint, lilac, or peony. If you’re already a Grove customer, you’ll receive free Grove walnut scrubber sponges.
Then follow my tips to create a dreamy kitchen — just in time for spring entertaining!
Step 1: Instead of treating spring cleaning as a chore, set the tone by opening the windows to let the spring air inside! It’s amazing how much it will help motivate you.
Step 2: Start with a clean slate. Mrs. Meyer’s multi-surface spray makes quick work of cleaning appliances, the inside of the fridge, countertops, and backsplashes. Plus, it leaves your kitchen smelling like a spring garden!
Step 3: To get your pots and pans ready for new spring recipes, make a paste with Bon Ami and water and apply it all over. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then wipe away those scorch marks with a sponge. I prefer Grove’s walnut scrubber sponges because they don’t scratch your cookware!
Step 4: The sink is probably the most used area in your kitchen, but gets the least love when it’s time to clean. Grab the Bon Ami again and sprinkle it on your sink and faucet, rub with a wet cloth, and then wipe clean. To freshen up your garbage disposal, squirt Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap and some ice cubes into the disposal and run the disposal with hot water. The ice helps to sharpen your disposal blades and the mint scent is especially good for neutralizing odors!
Step 5: Just like a statement necklace can make an old outfit feel new, sink-side accessories can totally transform your kitchen. I love Mrs. Meyer’s hand and dish soaps because they add a pop of cheerful color to my kitchen and smell amazing!
Step 6: Treat your kitchen to a fresh new towel in a spring color. I consider these Grove chef’s towels an essential, since they work for everything from wiping hands, to drying spills and dishes, to grabbing hot pans. The cornflower blue color is brand new, and you’ll be among the first to get one!
Step 7: Trick your guests into thinking you redecorated with strategically placed accessories like a bamboo cutting board, a wooden handle dish brush, or a stoneware tray (mine are all from Grove!).
Step 8: Of course, you can never go wrong with cut flowers. But lately, I love filling glass jars with fresh herbs like cilantro, mint, or chives. Decorative, and useful!
