I don't know about where you live, but here in WV the weather has been a roller-coaster ride for the last few months. One day it is in the fifties and sunny, the next it is back below-freezing and we've got a blizzard on the way. But since St. Patty's Day is tomorrow, and Easter is just around the corner, and the first official day of spring is coming soon, I think it's safe to say that Spring is finally here.
One of my favorite things about Spring is how fresh and new things feel. I like to make that feeling translate into my kitchen by giving it a little lovin'. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen - it's the heart of our home. And after Winter, it is just begging for a makeover. :)
Here are a few things I like to do this time of year to bring Spring inside!
- Re-decorate the wreath on the exterior door. I bought a rattan wreath last year, and decorate it (and then un-decorate it) each season. Right now it has silk hydrangeas and a white "B" on it. :)
- Wash windows. The rest of the year it is TOO COLD to bother with this. But Spring is a great time to give the inside (and sometimes the outside) a good once-over with Windex and a paper towel.
- Switch out kitchen towels/trivets/etc. with lighter/brighter colors. I've been crocheting some dish cloths and hot pads, and the bright colors just seem to make the kitchen such a cheery place!
- Clean up clutter! Day by day little things are left out, and after a while it clutters up your space. It makes a huge difference to put those things away and enjoy how clean and tidy things are again.
So that's it. Nothing earth-shattering or new. Just a few simple things you can do to brighten up your kitchen/home an bring Spring indoors!
