Can Spring arrive any sooner?
I always find this the hardest time of year
for me. The holidays are over, the days are long, cold and gray and the house
seems bare since all the festive holiday decorations have come down.
Ughhh….will spring ever get here?
Don’t despair! You can add
just a little color and texture to your space and it will help lift your
spirits until spring arrives!
Here is a quick and easy way to make a dramatic touch to any room: Start by
taking a tall clear vase and filling it with tall tree branches. Add some cedar
or evergreen sprigs and possibly some pinecones to this arrangement. To add
some visual interest you could tuck in some peacock feathers or a bird’s nest
(which will remind you that spring is certainly on the way!).
Since I live on a
beautiful property in the Northwest, I have the luxury of going out my door and
finding a plethora of greens to pick from.
For those of you who don’t
have that luxury, this is a great time of year to visit your favorite garden
shop. I chose some twigs purchased at Michaels in this shot to show you how
easy this is to do and added my favorite ornament for fun (to remind me not to
take life so seriously!) This spot of green helps keep me going until those
spring flowers start to bloom.
Also, the addition of
colorful and textured textiles can instantly help a space feel livelier. Go to
your local fabric store or search online for some heavier weight fabrics like
tartan plaids and hounds tooth and cover an assortment of accent pillows. You
can find great end roll discounts at most fabric stores for almost nothing and
it is a great way to get an expensive fabric on a pillow without having to
spend much.
Something as simple as
just changing the lighting in a room can also help you with the winter doldrums
… or just giving that old lamp a new shade.
Use these late winter months as a time to freshen your
décor and you might even consider taking this time to read some of those many
educational Horse books that might help us for the upcoming show season!
