{Easy & Refreshing Spring Updates}

Oh.for.the.love.of.Spring! I don't know about you, but every time Spring time draws near I feel a restlessness come on. My poor husband. I create lists of ideas for projects, I want to rearrange furniture, I want to paint and add color....oh the options are endless!


So for my first post here at Project {Create A Home} I thought I would share some lovely pictures and ideas for realistic updates. I try to keep things real. Don't get me wrong though, I'd love do some big fancy re-do but do I have the time or the budget? Hmmm, I'm not thinkin' so. ;D


Here are a few fun things to get your Spring time project lists going...



I love color. I'm working at incorporating more of it into my home. Do you have any current pieces that serve a great purpose but have grown a little boring? Just pick a fun paint color and Voila! You have a brand new piece.



When I came across this idea I literally gasped and thought "why have I not thought of that?" And while I'm not going to run and do this to my dining room chairs, I thought it would be a perfect update for our play table & chairs. Too much fun!



I am on the hunt for an ornate mirror like this for my bedroom. I love the idea of painting it a fun punchy color and then making it serve a purpose like a pin board or chalk board.



I have this exact chandelier in my dining room - standard builder grade. How cool to spice it up with a little stencil and paint! It wouldn't even take terribly long to do and would add a pizazz to a borderline boring fixture.


All of the {gorgeous photos} featured are from Better Homes & Gardens. Aren't they just the best? You can click here to get all of the juicy details on how to accomplish all of the projects I mentions. I feel refreshed after just talking about all of these fun projects! So as I get my project list together and figure out which new paint I need and which piece of furniture will be my next victim, what will you be doing? Have any new update plans for Spring?


Make today a great day ya'll! If you want to come on over to my personal blog for a visit, please do!
