Spring is in the air! Take advantage of the resources at hand and make the most of the creative and useful ideas for Home and Garden that are available online, in books and libraries and give your home a sprightly look.
Try rummaging in your own home
If you are on a budget, use whatever materials you have at home before going out and buying anything. Make an inventory of discarded, faded dried twigs and flowers which could look new with a fresh coat of paint or just soap and water. Mix these with a few fresh twigs or flowers and arrange them in attractive bowls. Enhance your window treatment by just changing the drapes with colors that reflect the season. Re-arrange objects and centerpieces and notice how a little re-arrangement projects a newer look. Change furniture around and bring out the patio armchairs. Revive neglected garden furniture with a coat of polish or paint if you are one of those who love pottering around in the garden.
Spring-clean and make do with clutter
Use this opportunity to get rid of stuff that has piled up in attics and closets. Empty out closets and wardrobes and air them out. Check out the garage area and make a checklist. Do away with leaky hoses, faucets etc. which cannot be used anymore. Cash in on useful ideas for home and garden and learn how to re-use or repair certain items. Rugs and mats, tucked away in winter, provide a refreshing change when vacuum cleaned and aired out. Set aside in storage all items earmarked for yard sales in the neighborhood or in your own back yard.
Make your home and garden come alive
Make your garden beautiful this spring. Spruce up a big garden with colorful nectar-rich flowers and birdbaths or water fountains. Hummingbirds and butterflies make a bee-line for these in summer and depending on where you live, certain species like the oriole, black jay and red robins, to name a few, grace your garden with frequent visits. It is worthwhile to employ a designer for landscaping the area available. Take advantage of their useful home and garden ideas for a transformed look. A small garden can also have a walkway or driveway adorned on both sides with shrubs or pretty flowers. Garden statues are available in all home stores. Use these as accessories. Fill up window boxes with seasonal flowers and hang flowering baskets on your patio.
