Happy Monday, friends! Today I share how I refresh home decor for spring.
This past weekend was lovely with refreshing spring breezes and it inspired me to also refresh my home decor for spring.
My goal is always to lighten up a few areas and allow those refreshing breezes to blow through my house.
It is also spring break here, so my 7-year-old-granddaughter is going to help me clean out a huge closet today….and she volunteered!
This is one of those areas under a staircase, and all six grandchildren have enjoyed it as a “clubhouse-type-hideaway.”
But, it needs a good cleaning and Gigi needs to move out some of her stuff. So, it will be a busy day and I am blessed to have her joining in.
But first, allow me to share with you what I did this past weekend.
REFRESH HOME DECOR FOR SPRING AT HOBBY LOBBY
In between Christmas and March, I leave out pine cones and a few fall springs of color.
For home decor for spring, I put away the pine cones and add some lighter spring touches…and that is why I headed to Hobby Lobby.
You might remember that my dining table was decorated with this bowl full of pine cones and oranges.
I replaced those with a touch of faux greenery and peonies.
Hobby Lobby was hosting a 40% off spring decor.
If I had purchased these flowers separately, they would have been double the cost.
However, I found a SPRING BUNCH full of flowers including all of the peonies and just bought the bunch at 40% off and then cut off the ones I wanted with my wire cutters.
I may use the remaining flowers on a Fiesta Wreath.
Hobby Lobby did have beautiful spring wreaths, but I decided to spend my budget in other ways.
So….
I took the magnolia wreath hanging on my front door and added two magnolia flowers just to brighten it up for spring home decor.
During the winter, my real Boston Fern was up by the front door, but I had to move it occasionally to water and to receive sunlight.
So, I purchased a fake one…which I believe looks very real…and put it by the front door, and moved the real one by a porch bench.
It is subtle spring home decor, but I do like it. I purchased three more faux greenery and will show you in a minute what I did with it.
My final purchase at Hobby Lobby was this fun little birdhouse pillow, which replaced the pine cone pillow I had in this spot.
I love birdhouses and the colors were perfect.
I did change out a few other pillows I already owned for cream colored ones.
REFRESH HOME DECOR FOR SPRING AT KOHL’S
It was actually a television commercial to refresh home decor for spring that sent me over to KOHLS.
The commercial informed us that Kohl’s has expanded home decor, and I did discover some interesting and fun items there.
The yellow bird represents the variety of outdoor SOLAR LIGHTS at Kohl’s.
My spring home decor must include a lovely aroma to greet anyone who walks into our home.
The way I like to do this is with the NEST DIFFUSERS. I turn the sticks over in the mornings. You can see that my winter aroma is about done.
They are safer than candles and are constantly working…and still last a long time.
So, I am so glad that Kohl’s carries these, and when I am ready I think I will go with the Bamboo…but it is hard to choose.
These are also great gifts.
Besides your spring home decor, you might also refresh comfort for spring in a lovely floral pajama by Simply Simply Vera Wang.
Lots of choices are blooming!
The only purchase I made on this trip to Kohl’s was to refresh my home doormat. The colors In this one are perfect.
This is the SONOMA GOODS FOR LIFE MINERAL MEDALLION 23 X 35 ALL WEATHER DOORMAT…on sale.
Oh yes, I also made some Easter Basket purchases when I went by the Holiday displays now at the front of the store…I love how they do this now.
REFRESH HOME DECOR FOR SPRING OUTDOORS
You can see by the empty pots that I have so much work to do in our backyard. I have not made it to the nursery yet.
But this rod over our table was purchased last fall at Anthropologie….and I love it.
For Christmas, it was decorated with holiday greenery, ivy, and holly, and branches and the solar lights.
Over the weekend, I replaced those with faux greenery from Hobby Lobby, and left the branches and solar lights.
I love to see it in the backyard after dark…remember my design aesthetic is cozy, French country…more traditional than modern.
I encourage you to occasional look at Anthropologie Home Decor for fun ideas you do not see anywhere else. I don’t think my table rod is available any longer.
Please remember that I have affiliate shopping links to:
And if you do not see the retailer on the Shopping Links page that you want to use, and need to know if I have a link…then email me at over50feeling40@gmail.com.
I really appreciate the support.
Please share you ideas of how you refresh home decor for spring…or share your pictures with my email. I share those photos on Sundays.
Now, go out into this day and…………………………….
STAY STRONG & KEEP SMILING!
