Transition Your Home for Spring

Spring is in the air, well really here in North Carolina its going to be almost 70 degrees and rainy today, but tomorrow its going to be in the 50's. At any rate I am channeling the warmer weather and saying goodbye to winter.

With the change of the season, so should your home's wardrobe so to speak. You know we change how we dress for the seasons, so our home should as well.

I'm not what you would consider a seasonal decorator except for the Christmas holiday, but I do try to lighten and brighten between seasons.

So how can you transition into Spring without breaking the bank. I know some people who have bedding, and curtains that they switch out with the seasons, for me personally I haven't gotten to that point, maybe one day. I have come to the conclusion that you don't have to redecorate your entire home to transition from season to season. Just a few key changes will have you seeing Spring in your home in no time and for little money.

ADD A NEW WREATH TO YOUR DOOR

I loved my Pottery Barn Inspired wreath that I made years ago. Read about how I made it here.

 
It didn't survive after last season, so I'm getting ready to DIY something different.

ADD A FRESH SCENT

After being closed up for the winter, adding a citrus or fruity fragrance can make a difference.  I really like the Bath and Body Works Candles, Pineapple Mango smells soooo good. And they are on sale 2 for $22 and if you find a coupon that would be a super deal.

 ADD FLOWERS

Fresh flowers make any room feel complete. I like to buy a bunch from the grocery store and make several arrangements out of one, just like this arrangement.

SWITCH OUT YOUR PILLOWS

Pillows are a quick relatively inexpensive way to change a room. I really like these.

and last but probably the most important is to

CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN

Now is the time to declutter and scrub everything down. A clean house always makes me feel better. What about you how do you transition your home between seasons.
