Have I mentioned how happy I am that spring is here? It's seems like that's all I can focus on these days. I love the change of seasons! It's always refreshing, the change feels so good - keeps things from getting too stagnant. Inside and out I'm happy to have an excuse to change things up. So I've been freshening things up around the house. I love being able to finally open the windows to let in some fresh air and hear the birds singing outside. I cleared out the wreaths, holly and Christmas lights to make room for spring!
Starting on the front porch, I cleaned up my succulent planter and tucked in the welcome sign that my mom got me right before we moved. By the front door I hung this little zinc triangle that I found with my sister and wrote a cheery 'hello' on it. I also rearranged the entire mantel and pulled out my giant thermos and picnic basket. Absolutely love that thermos, I've literally been on the lookout for one for years and found this one recently for less than two bucks at Goodwill! And of course I had to change up the whiteboard window and this definition of spring seemed perfect 'it is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine...'
Moving on to the bathroom, I decked out the Mother Fern's pot with a little message saying 'Mist Me' using black vinyl stickers, just a fun quirky touch. That mother fern is great, much more agreeable to staying alive than the maiden hair fern that I had previously - that one had a serious death wish (rest in peace Princess). The last room that got some TLC was my bedroom, I hung my patio lights on the wall in a frame around the bed - I love the scalloped shape! And I also added some sprigs of eucalyptus to an old bottle that my Grandma found on her travels. And that's it for now...
When we get a few more warm days, I'd love to get outside and get the patio set up and dig around in the dirt. We have a little planter box that is begging for some veggies and I'm hoping to do a bunch of potted herbs this year too! What about you, what are you itching to do as soon as the weather gets warm?
