Spring has SPRUNG! At least, in my heart. Even if the weather is only acting like springtime every other day.
My rental home is decorated for the spring and for the coming Easter holiday! I wanted to do a quick show-you-around style blog post to celebrate the coming of a warmer, happier, lovelier season.
In the midst of this COVID-19 health scare, a lot of you are quarantined all day – or at least before/after work – at your homes. If you’re afraid you’ll be bored to death or climbing the walls, don’t panic. There’s lots of springtime cheer to be had in your own home or in your own backyard. I’ll show you what I’ve done to make my home feel a little more joyful and seasonally spirited.
First and foremost, how cute is this country-spring-inspired centerpiece on my table? My tablescapes and centerpieces are so much fun for me to change up seasonally, and this spring’s décor is no exception! I purchased this brown-checked round tablecloth for $1.99 at the local AM VETS thrift store in Knoxville – thrift store steal of the season, right?! And I found this so-sweet rabbit egg, the wooden eggs in my cylinder vase, and the Rae Dunn watering can all at TJMAXX.com. I paired these items with greenery I already had, and I placed them all on a jute Better Holmes and Gardens placemat from Walmart for under $3. Using a single placemat as a centerpiece base is a cost-saving trick I’ve been using for years – they’re less expensive, easy to change out seasonally, and small enough to store in a drawer or on a closet shelf.
I’ve also decorated my bookshelves with light touches of spring. These sweet bunnies were under $5 each at Old Time Pottery, and the birdhouse in the second picture was $7 at Big Lots. I already had the greenery and the other décor.
(Oh, and check out my Harry Potter collections. Didn’t mean to feature those, but I love them, and they stay up all year round!)
You can’t forget the outside of your home! If it’s nice enough out, I say GET OUTSIDE. It’s not worth being cooped up inside and contracting cabin fever. If you have a space for your little one(s) to play, let them – even just for an hour while the sun is shining.
And, while they’re outside, YOU can get some outside spring décor up to cheer up your space.
On my front porch, I added seasonal spring cushions to my bench ($5 each at Walmart) and repurposed a galvanized watering can into a planter (just $2.99 at a KARM thrift store). Pansies scream “spring” to me, so they seemed the perfect flower to plant here!
I also always decorate my door. The unique thing about my rental is that the house was built to take advantage of the view – which faces the opposite direction than the driveway or road. So, I use my front door as a back door, and my side door from my carport as a front door. That means my side door needs to be extra homey and welcoming.
Here’s what I’ve added. A sweet bunny statue from Lowes a few years back, a garden flag (bought off of Amazon for $6.99 from seller BLKWHT Home & Garden), some bulbs in a cute planter from Lowes this year, and a few planters from last season. The sweet wreath was a handmade gift from my sister when I moved in last August.
What are some of your spring décor faves for your home? If you haven’t had a chance to embrace the season yet, I hope you’ll find time as you stay home – all day or around your work schedule – to bring yourself and your home some joy this season!
