Easter is around the corner and now that I don’t have a little one at home, I don’t go all out on an Easter basket for cute bunny décor anymore. But it wouldn’t be any fun without some type of Easter project.

HOMEROOM: Spring Hutch with Pastels

The past few months have been so busy between business travel, my son’s sports schedule and squeezing in the master bedroom makeover, I almost didn’t decorate my dining room hutch.

My spring pink décor continues. As I mentioned when I first shared my spring hutch, I used pink as an accent color this year. A first for me. To bring a little more pink to the room, I created this spring hoop wreath.

WEEKEND INSPIRATION: Spring Refresh

TGIF friends! We made it through another week sharing creativity. I’m hoping to get caught up this weekend and create some new projects to share with you, clean my house and put away the laundry that’s been sitting in baskets since last weekend (no lie!). And if I have time, I would love to work on refreshing with some of these amazing spring projects I found.

Sew & Tell: freshening the patio for spring

It’s definitely spring in my neck of the woods. The weather went from gloomy to fresh and sunny recently. Although I was ready for the change in seasons, my patio wasn’t. The cushions and pillows on my patio furniture have had it. They were old, faded and dingy. I would show you a picture but honestly, they were so bad it’s horrifying.
