15 Simple Ways to Add Spring to a Home

Even though it’s spring, for some (like my parents who sent me snowy photos from Michigan during this past weekend) spring can seem like it’s a littler far away. For those of us who live further south, the colder temps seem to be making their way out the door which is exciting.

We love spending time outside, especially since our two-year-old son is very into sports. This morning, I spent hours playing with our dogs and son as my husband put in some manly hours on the yard.

Baseball has started, flowers are growing, lawns are being mowed … we cannot wait to welcome the warmer temps that spring offers. But, why does spring have to remain outside? Why can’t we bring spring inside? Good news! We can!

With just a few simple steps, you can add touches of spring throughout your home to refresh your space, give it a light and airy feeling, and welcome spring with open arms.
