1. Bring a little yellow into your house!
2. Wash the winter off your windows and let the sun shine in.
3. Organize your laundry room.
4. Invite some bunnies in, and 5. Fill a glass jar or vase with fruit.
6. Put away the heavy blankets and lighten up.
7. Frame your fireplace with flowers.
Now it’s starting to look like Spring! What do you do to welcome the warmer weather?

I love your ideas and the photos!! Things we’re doing here to welcome spring are filling vases with flowers, hanging clothes outside on the line to dry, we’ve gotten out the hammock to relax in outside, and we have fresh fruit everywhere! Nothing like open windows and sipping fresh squeezed lemonade to welcome spring.

It’s time for me to purchase new bedding and pillows for the bedrooms.
I also love the photos. As a renter and frequent mover it’s nice to look and dream.

I am so proud of myself that I have done many of the things on your list. I have a cluster of yellow sunflowers in a milk vase right now on the side of my sink that is making me smile every time I do the dishes and that in itself is amazing! I am also currently cleaning out the pantry and adding a fresh coat of creme paint to the shelf and both are making me feel lighter by the minute! Thanks for your post!

Hi Julia!
We’ve beem working on the deck at the condo, to welcome Spring. Accomplished quite a bit today, but there is still work to do. The forsythia is blooming here at the lake. It’s wonderful!

I have added a planter of spring flowers to my front porch. It’s very welcoming!
I love the pictures!

Oh, the photos are lovely – I especially like the yellow one. Here in Australia we are preparing for winter … sigh … I will be rehanging the heavy curtains and rolling out the thick rugs!

Love it all, Julia!! Beautiful pictures.
I love flinging all the doors and windows open in the afternoon, and just enjoying the breeze.
Another great way to welcome spring is to spend a little time on the front porch. Take all of the furniture out onto the grass & hose it down {it’s also great for the grass!} Sweep or hose everything down, place a few soft pillows on a chair. Plant a few flowers to enjoy while you sit down and put your feet up, and soak in the rays!
I’ve got the cleaning done, now I need to spruce!

I love turning the winter decor over and celebrating the spring. Your photos and ideas are great. I also love to use eggs for spring decorating. It’s not just for Easter, but for a reminder of the new life everywhere. I just did a post about decorating with the eggs from my chickens (http://livingmybestlife-lisa.blogspot.com/2009/03/incredible-edible-egg.html). Love your blog! Lisa~

you are so right!! Nothing like fresh flowers!! And a little color!!!
Hi Julia…great ideas! My windows could definitely use some washing! I think I’ll wait a few weeks ’til pollen season is over though.
Spring has certainly come to Blogland this week…I see it everywhere…and I’m loving it! Susan

I like to open the windows and air out the whole house. Fresh flowers always do the trick for me and a springy table cloth or runner.

I’ll put just about anything that blooms into a vase and bring it inside! No flowers are better than free flowers.

Well, we’re gonna paint the house yellow soon. Now that’s celebrating Spring!
I’ve already put fruit in bowls and have been opening more windows and doors. Fresh air flowing through the house really makes it seem like Spring has arrived.

They had an ironing board cover like that in Marshall’s. May have to go rescue it to freshen up the laundry. Thanks for the inspiration.

I also meant to say that I almost bought an ironing board cover just like that the other day, but didn’t. Now I think I might have to go back and get it!
I just sent the blanket on my bed to the cleaners. I bought a new shower curtain and shower liner. I have began swapping out some winter clothes and shoes. I am ready to “spring” into action but the cold weather is not quite through here in Nashville.

What’s the best way to clean windows? I feel that it’s probably not miles of papertowels and gallons of window cleaner.
AWESOME inspiration! I actually just put my lemons in an apothecary jar!! I will have to go find some forsythia. That may be just the thing I need!
I can’t wait to put more ideas to use!

Love the bunnies and lemons. Not time to take the heavy comforter off here just yet but I agree.
ooohhh..lala….I used the turquoise-ish color in my laundry room (Domino pic). Was one of the best choices I ever made. Love the display you have here.

Good morning Julia
The main thing I do is open as many windows as I can (blasted storm windows!) to let the fresh air in, especially at night because it helps us sleep better.
Great post!

I used to plant rye grass seeds in an old soda crate and watch it grow (much like potting up narcissus in winter). A big ole tray of fresh grass is a great bedding for easter eggs on the kitchen table!
Happy Spring!
