SPRING PREVIEW

As the holiday season winds down and the visitors have all left many people crave a bit of color in anticipation of spring. Here are five simple decorating ideas that will add a nice touch of color to your home this spring.

This vintage watering can door hanger really adds a fun bit of spring to your home. Simply fill your watering can with floral foam and insert your favorite spring flowers into it. Add a few other spring embellishments like colored eggs or miniature birds to finish off this great idea. Tie it to your door with a colorful ribbon and you’ll have a door decoration that will have your neighbors green with envy. 

A pair of bright colored rain boots filled with tulips is a great way to greet guests as they enter your home. Simply add a small amount of water to the inside of your boots and arrange tulips as desired. Toddler sized boots work perfect for this project. The great thing about tulips is that they continue to grow once they've been cut so you get a nice wildflower look. When you've got them the way you like tie a colorful ribbon to the boots and you have a perfect entryway arrangement.

The simplest makeover for a pop of color in your home would be to add a bright colored ribbon to any clear vase. The ribbon adds your own color and personal style to the vase and can be changed as often as you like. 

One of the most fun trends for spring time is to gather your favorite old canning jars and to fill them with flowers. The fun twist with this sort of decoration is keeping the tops of the flowers below the rim of the jar and floating a candle on top. This gives a feeling of fun, packaged beautifully for spring. 

A final simple decorating idea is to get some curly willow branches from your local florist. Decorate the branches with silk or paper flower buds and place them into your favorite container for a lively centerpiece or focal point for your favorite room. This type of decoration is sure to get that springtime feel in your home. 

These easy ideas are sure to spruce up and add color to your home after the holidays!
