5 Quick Ways to Spruce up for Spring

daisiesSpring has now sprung and I am itching for sun and warm weather. Even though there is more rain than sun these days, here are some quick tips to brighten up your space for spring.

Fresh Flowers

Go ahead, treat yourself. Next time you are at the grocery store pick up some cut daisies or what ever flowers are on sale. Adding fresh flowers to your kitchen table or buffet will quickly add color and life to your living space. To extend the life of your flowers, when you get home, remember to re-cut them diagonally under running water.

New Door wreath

I have recommended this in the past, but I love door wreaths. To me, it signals the start of a new season. So go splurge on a fresh new wreath. Pastel teal is a popular color that is great for spring.

Clean your windows

This is one of my least favorite chores, but it will quickly brighten your room by allowing more light to shine in. You’ll be shocked at the difference it will make.

Change your table cloth or runner

Put away the dark, warm colors of winter and pull out the lighter, fun colors of spring. Bright is back, so don’t be shy! Check out Target.com or Pier 1 for some fun patterns and colors.

Mulch Gardens

Winter likely left dead foliage and leaves collecting in your flower gardens. Removing the old and adding new mulch will not only help your flowers thrive but also accentuate what is there.

Hope you enjoy the new season as much as I am!
