Having lived in the Midwest for my entire life, I am
used to snow and ice in winter. However,
I must admit that this winter has been one of the snowiest, iciest, coldest
winters I can remember; and I am so ready for spring!! I have been allowing my
mind to wander to all things spring throughout the days just to keep my
sanity. I thought I would share some of
these spring ideas with you in hopes that they can pull someone else out of a
cold, dreary slump.
My first idea was that I needed to incorporate spring (at
least spring colors) into my home, so what better way to do that than with
flowers…well, fake flowers! I simply
placed some battery operated string lights in a glass vase and tossed some
artificial flowers in the vase. Daisies,
sunflowers, rose petals, the options are endless, and this is a quick and easy
way to add a touch of spring to any room.
The flowers, obviously, scream spring, and the lights bounce around
creating a wonderful shimmer to create a perfect décor piece!
Ornaments came to mind next!! I know, I know, typically people don’t want
to see ornaments after they put their Christmas decorations away until the next
Christmas!! But ornaments are wonderful
pieces to incorporate into your décor year-round!! I chose tropical colors, because the whole
point is bringing in spring!! Pink,
purple, green, yellow, blue: each
reminds me of something flowery or something from nature most often associated
with spring – fresh grass, budding flowers, clear, blue skies. Every time I look at them, they refresh
me.
There are several ways you can incorporate these items
to create a warmer ambiance. Create
centerpieces, wall-hangings or even wreaths out of non-traditional items to
create looks for your home year-round. (This
