Fresh Face Lift for Spring | Home

Yes, we've had an extremely mild Winter.  I am yet sooo create for Spring.  To teach our solid ane stride ahead of Mother Nature (maybe she'll teach the clue) I convey 'freshened up' our living room for Spring.  Gone are the warm wintertime pillow cases in addition to throws - welcome fresh white (and striped) linen.  I took it a stride farther this yr - I replaced our framed prints inwards a higher house the curtain to reverberate a brighter season. 

This year, instead of merely hanging your boundary wreath on the front end door, evidence giving your solid unit of measurement room a fresh confront life.  It mightiness seem a fiddling dizzy to redecorate your domicile for every changing season, but fiddling changes tin shipping away teach a long way.  It is amazing how replacing a duo of pillows in addition to swapping out artwork gives our living room a completely fresh in addition to airy feel. 

What's that?  You don't convey a budget for redecorating every iii months?  Try making your ain pillow cases.  I made the white in addition to pale blueish striped linen cases from 1/2 yard of cloth ($15).  They couldn't hold out easier to brand - I made them both inwards nigh xx minutes.  It requires a folding, ironing in addition to sewing 2 withdraw lines.  No zippers, no buttons.

I'll hold out posting the DIY instructions later!

I made this smaller pillow amongst a horizontal stripe going the length of the pillow.  For the larger pillow... 

I used the cloth vertically. 

I had plans to over the ottoman, too, because I idea it was every bit good nighttime in addition to heavy for Spring.  Once I lay the novel pillows inwards place, the room already felt in addition to hence much lighter that I didn't ask to produce the ottoman.

By the way, nosotros made the ottoman/bench ourselves merely similar nosotros did for the ane inwards Emma's Nursery - merely a dissimilar size in addition to shape.

Flowers, of course, brighten whatsoever room.  These were from Mike for my birthday final week.

Didn't he produce a bully job?  White parrot tulips, regal hyacinth, peach garden roses in addition to greenish viburnum. 

Don't experience confident inwards your floral arranging skills?  Put them inwards a pitcher!  I similar how casual in addition to effortless arrangements hold off inwards a pitcher - similar y'all gathered them from your ain garden in addition to merely plopped them in.

Here is the freshened curtain - 2 novel prints, 2 novel candles.  Aren't these candles fabulous?  They are Anna Candles (www.annacandles.com), $24.  I got them at a fiddling boutique inwards Woodstock, Vt.  They are a fiddling out of the box for me - but I honey the fiddling fleck of whimsy they laissez passer on the mantle.  

I ever purpose botanical prints - for about argue they are the entirely type of artwork I'm actually drawn to.  I honey these white flowers on a cream background.  I flora the icon online in addition to printed them myself.  I tear the edges of the printed newspaper in addition to hence they seem to hold out out of an sometime book.
