Spring is a great time to revitalize your home

Regardless of whether you have an unlimited budget or no money to spend, a few small changes can have a big impact. The key to refreshing your home is embracing change and taking action.

If you have no money to spend, focus on re-decorating and re-purposing. Start with a total spring cleaning and while cleaning purge, purge, purge. If you do not love everything you touch get ride of it. It is hard work but organizing your drawers and cabinets, cleaning your closets and garage is cathartic. Do the chores around your home you would do if you were getting your house ready to go on the market. If you have energy left rearrange furniture. Go shopping for one room in another. Then kick back and enjoy your summer.

If your budget allows for more flexibility update your window treatments, add new accent pillows, buy a new piece of furniture, change your lighting plan or do it all. Bring the outdoors in with vintage botanical or sea life prints. Cut out pictures you like in magazines and implement the elements you love in the pictures in your own home.
