A Spring Refresh at our Airbnb Waco Home
This is the time of year when I am on a mission to infuse our beloved Airbnb Waco home with fresh, vibrant spring decor.
This year, armed with a sage green color palette and a vision of cozy elegance, I refreshed our space as a sanctuary for guests to enjoy. Here’s a detailed look into my spring decor refresh journey.




Our Airbnb Waco Home Refresh
Spring is the season of renewal and rejuvenation, when nature awakens in a burst of color and life. Every year, I aim to infuse our beloved Airbnb Waco home with fresh, vibrant spring decor.
Armed with a sage green color palette and a vision of cozy elegance, I updated our space as a sanctuary for guests to enjoy.
Here’s a detailed look into my spring decor refresh journey.
The Vision and Preparation

We bought our Waco home six years ago, and after a year-long remodel, it was listed as a rental on Airbnb and VRBO. For rental information, click here.
I aimed to create a refreshed, serene, and welcoming atmosphere reflecting spring’s rejuvenating essence. So, I carefully selected new decor items, including pillow covers, florals, a rug, a front door wreath, and materials for a handmade loveseat cushion. I ordered everything from Amazon for convenience and efficiency.
The Airbnb Waco Home Living Area Transformation

The living area is the heart of the home, a place where guests gather and unwind. I ordered four pairs of pillow covers in harmonizing shades, a cozy sage green throw, and plush new pillow inserts to enhance its comfort and style.

The change immediately lifted the room, making it more inviting and cohesive.

The Loveseat Cushion Debacle

Last year, a unique challenge presented itself with the love seat cushion. A well-meaning guest attempted to wash the original cushion cover, leading to mishaps that left the cushion unusable.
Undeterred, I borrowed a sewing machine, bought foam and fabric that closely matched the original, and set to work.
I crafted a new cushion with a zipper for easy removal. It was a labor of love that involved cutting the 4″ foam insert with an electric knife (a surprisingly effective method). The result was a perfectly sized cushion that restored the love seat to its former comfort and appeal.
And yes, I had to buy an electric knife too!
Floral Flourishes and Eucalyptus Accents

To breathe new life into our Airbnb Waco home, I ordered various faux flowers and made three new arrangements, placing them around the house.
The kitchen island became a focal point of beauty, the dining room table was graced with spring’s charm, and the primary bedroom received a touch of floral elegance.

Additionally, I hung three eucalyptus wreaths in the living area. Their subtle fragrance and greenery add a layer of tranquility and connection to nature.

Kitchen and Bathroom Updates

New towels were added in the kitchen to bring in a fresh palette and a touch of practical beauty. The bathrooms received a similar treatment with new floor mats, enhancing comfort and style.
These seemingly small changes contributed significantly to the overall feel of the house, making each space more welcoming and aligned with the spring theme.
The Bedroom Oasis

The primary bedroom transformation was anchored by my favorite Loloi rug, that perfectly complemented the sage green theme.
This rug not only brought warmth and texture to the room but also served as a stunning visual anchor, tying together all the elements of the spring refresh.
More Decor Favorites



I wanted to share more of my favorite areas in our Airbnb Waco home. The coffee station is highlighted by a crib mattress spring on the wall. Our guest comment cards are held in a vintage general store ledger.
And my favorite table in the living room has many fun decor items I bought many years ago at the Round Top vintage show.
Reflections on the Airbnb Waco Home Spring Refresh

Looking back on the whirlwind three days spent transforming our Waco Airbnb, I am filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy. The sage green spring palette brought a sense of calm and renewal to the home, reflecting the season’s essence.
The DIY projects, particularly the love seat cushion, added a personal touch that I hope will be appreciated by all who stay here.

This spring refresh was more than just an update. It was a labor of love, a testament to the power of thoughtful design and personal effort in creating a space that welcomes and embraces.
I am delighted with the result. Our Airbnb Waco home looks refreshed and vibrant and feels even more like a sanctuary for our guests.

By bringing a piece of spring’s rejuvenation into our Airbnb, we’ve created a space that reflects the beauty of the season and the warmth and hospitality that is the heart of hosting.

As the season progresses, I look forward to seeing the joy and relaxation our guests find in this carefully curated space.

Hi Leslie,
So cute and cozy! Good to know about the electric knife!
Hey your ads are popping up/running through your content.
It is hard to view the home. Maybe there is a setting to minimize.
Happy First Day of Spring!

Hi Laura! Thanks so much. Since it’s free content there’s not a whole lot I can do about the ads unfortunately 😕 hope some day that can change!
Hope you got my comments about so many ads
The ads really do distract from your wonderful blogs. We will still watch every day for your presentations. Have a great day
It’s such a bummer but there’s not a whole lot to do about it :/ I’m glad you’re still with us Heidi! ☺️
I loved meeting you in Waco and enjoyed our lunch and home tour. I have been inspired by the book too. Hope to see you again on future trips to #WACOTOWN
The absolute best! Thanks so much Lezlie, what a fabulous trip ☺️
It all looks so cozy! Can you tell us what you used as a slip cover on the living room sofa?
I so want to buy the mini love seat but that cream fabric and your story about it intimidates me for my vrbo space. I do not sew like you do so I wish there was a slipcover option.
