The sun has come out and the temperature has warmed up.  The sky is the perfect shade of Carolina blue.  Spring is here!  And for the first time in a while I felt the clouds lift and I went for it.  I went shopping for Spring decor!  Who is with me?  I am not done yet.  But at least I have started.  Here are a few spring touches around the house and why I have chosen them to add to my decor.

I love spring colors.  The pinks and the blues and the  yellows.  After living in dreary winter for so long, its a wonder to see Spring add such color to the world!  I love fresh flowers (especially hydrangeas and peonies), but my son is so allergic to pollen that I have to limit the amount of fresh flowers I bring into the house.  Therefore, I shop for the most realistic looking silk flowers I can find.  This year, Pier 1 has the best ones!

Forsythia seems to be the first thing to bloom when Spring arrives.  The vibrant yellow is the color of sunshine.  I love it!

I have no idea what these flowers are, but I instantly fell in love at the store when I saw them.  I think I may be going back for more, very soon!

I have made lots of changes around the house and I can’t wait to show you what I’ve done.  Nothing drastic, just lots of stuff to drive my husband nuts (aka: “Honey, will you help me move this big, heavy piece of furniture?”)  Stay tuned for my Spring home tour.
