Sick of winter yet? For many this winter has seemed like that pesky cough you can’t get rid of. It just keeps coming back. Since March is approaching and that means Easter, sunshine and daffodils, many of us are starting to get antsy for spring. While the weather outside may be all winter, try bringing some spring into your home with these five quick cures for spring home updates.
Spray Paint
Spray paint is an awesome invention. It’s easy-to-use, relatively mess-free, and pretty cheap. Today I’m spray painting a chandelier yellow. The small pop of color will brighten up my home in a big way– and all for less than $5.
Grocery Store Flowers
Just about every other week I pick up a small $3 bouquet of purple mums at my grocery store. They last a long time and offer a lot of bloom for my buck. Try bringing the outdoors in to update your home for spring.
Framed Photos
Consider swapping out framed photos with bright shots of flowers, greenery or the beach. Today only you can get a free 8×10 print from Walgreens.com when you use code FREEPHOTO at checkout. Pick up a frame at a local thrift store and you’ve got cheap and cheery instant art.
Open Curtains
Sounds simple, but opening up your curtains will let in some sunlight. You’ve likely had them closed during the winter, but now it’s time to let in some light.
Throw Pillows
Throw pillows are a great way to add in splashes of bold color to your home. Check out easy step-by-step instructions like the ones at allfreecrafts.com. With some affordable fabric and a little time you’ll be well on your way to updating your home with throw pillows for spring.
