Spring means two things in our home – spring cleaning + refreshing/bringing in spring indoors by adding color/new décor/plants/flowers inside.
A trip to Home Depot enabled me to pick up all the things on my list and I got my living room ready for spring in no time.
I picked up some Mr. Clean with Febreze, Bounty paper towels, and Febreze Air Effects.
I sprayed all my linens and pillows I brought out of storage with the febreze to refresh them for spring.
Then I diluted the Mr. Clean in a spray bottle. I love that it can be used on finished wood, floors, pretty much anywhere.
In no time, I had this dusty mess cleaned up with the Bounty paper towels and Mr. Clean cleaner.
Now that the room was clean, time to decorate! I knew that I wanted to add some new plants to our home as a few of mine weren’t looking too great. I found this beautiful cat palm at Home Depot that I knew would look great in the living room. And I loved these tulips when I saw them at Home Depot and knew they were would make a perfect centerpiece on the coffee table. Once they wilt, I will take the bulbs and plant them outdoors so I can enjoy them next year outside in my garden.
Want to bring a pot of flowers, a gift of spring, to a friend? Here’s an easy way to dress up a plain pot of flowers to either display yourself indoors or on your porch or to gift. Grab a scrap of material either cut in a square or a circle. I used a scrap of green burlap.
To help me secure the fabric around the top edge, I used a few dots of hot glue and just drew it up all around the pot.
Tie a simple ribbon around it into a bow and you have a simple, inexpensive centerpiece or a gift.
Ahhh… this just says spring to me! The bright colors, the green in the stems, the texture of the burlap, the white – so perfect.
My living room smells fresh and clean, all the surfaces are clean, and the room has been decorated with fresh plants and touches of spring, thanks to Home Depot and P&G.

We recently bought a new house and I have a lot more room than I am used to. It is wonderful but some spaces seem a little bare! 🙂 I would love to spruce up my formal living room!
I’m going to Home Depot and getting me one of those Palms!
Very into organizing and painting all over the house!
Love bringing plants and flowers inside to brighten things up! I LOVE SPRING!!!!

Beautiful! I love the burlap and the crisp clean colors.
Cat palm? Lol..my cats would love to eat one of those! Dh says no more inside plants….what??? Cant hear you honey 🙂
I like the pantry spruce up project – wish my storage space could be that organized.

My pantry needs to be redone so badly!

Your plant project is lovely! I would like to do the mason jar vases.
I think the cork mirror is cute but my closets need makeovers too. Love your
idea to dress up the tulips.
I love the pantry spruce up…love organization ideas! Thanks for hosting…:)

Not my favorite “spruce up” activity, but one that makes such a difference:
cleaning windows throughout the house. Now that the weather is getting nicer, I’ll be able to open the windows long enough to clean them!! HAPPY SPRING!!!
I have been trying to declutter and organize my house. I love spring…windows open letting in breezes & getting the house clean. I would love a gift card to use for my home.
The home office makeover looks like just the ticket!
Beautiful flowers to place on my front porch, deck and patio. I love the beautiful colors of spring time!
Bringing Spring into your Living Room is my favorite project. Spring is my favorite season also!

I love the pantry makeover and organization as well as sprucing up an extra bedroom. Thanks for all the great ideas
I didn’t know Mr. Clean can be used on any surfaces, I love the clean fresh scents. I love how I can almost smell Spring by looking at your pictures.
I love adding a lighter item – whether it’s a new rug, throw pillow, or a few accessories to give a spring fresh look to the room.
As always, I love what you did to freshen up your home.
Blessings!

After reading this I guess it’s time to so my own Spring cleaning! 🙂
Flowers are my favorite way to decorate for Spring. Love your blooms!
The mudroom makeover I’m in the middle of making a mudroom in my house now.
Your room looks great. I can always use the cleaning supplies and would love to freshen up my laundry room.
Looks lovely as usual. Going to use the burlap idea on a plant I received on Easter.
Paint and cleaning. Love to clean, throw the windows open and breathe. Paint can freshen anything
I like the pantry spruce up project
“Mudroom gets a make over” – I love the pop of color!
Love the tulips in your living room! It is a beautiful pop of color.
I also liked the candle holder with the succulents in it. What a great idea.
I love adding flowers and plants to my home. Need some new Spring plants for the inside and outside!!
