Nine Ways to Freshen Up Your Home

First - SHOP YOUR HOUSE ~ easy, fun and super cheap-o !

When you move things around and from room to room the pieces take on new life.  Try it - grab a chair, pillows, a rug or anything not nailed down and move it!

Second - Add an Herb ~ buy a small potted herb at the market.  

Gussy up its appearance with fabric & twine.  Set it on your counter for an organic pop of green, the scent & to add to your cooking.  Love multi-purpose decor!  For the tutorial click here.

Third - Top with a Cloche ~ put a cloche over a plant, a vignette, something very special, holiday decor and more.  

Anything you want to highlight gets the spotlight under a cloche.  Cloches make everything look better.  I want a life sized one to get under!

Anita rocks at using a cloche - see what I mean here.

Learn to make a cloche from a plain glass vase here.

Fourth - force paperwhite bulbs.  The scent is divine and it is lovely to have blooming flowers inside this time of year.  Learn how here.

Fifth - (my favorite) change your lamp bulbs to pink incandescent (while you can! HURRY!) Click here for an affiliate link to the bulbs.

Sixth - use trays in your decor.  Functional and pretty, a tray can be used as intended, to group a vignette, hung on the wall or piled in a basket.  

Yvonne has terrific inspiration for using trays and Anita has bunch in her shop.

Seventh - spray paint a small piece of furniture.  

Our new favorite spray paint is a chalk based matt spray.  Check out the affiliate link here.

Eight - change your pillows for a fast & fresh new look.  You can even no sew them with this tutorial

Nine - add house plants.  Nothing sweeps away the winter blahs faster than a healthy green plant in a pretty pot.
