Renovating and decorating our new/old house, a cozy cape cod built in 1940. It won't happen overnight, so join me for the journey.
It was also time to change out the winter urns with some springy flowers. Pansies are one of the very few annual flowers that will survive our crazy March and April weather.
As a rule, all other annual plants wait until after Mother's day to be planted- that is usually our last frost-free date.
The front door was feeling a bit bare after taking the boxwood wreath down so I made a new one. I used the same wooden frame and wrapped it in burlap this time.
I added a pink butterfly clip for the little ones "Spring Butterfly Birthday Party". I will share pictures with you soon.
Welcome Spring, we have been waiting for you!

ReplyDeleteOne thing I appreciate about cotton curtains is their versatility. Whether you have a modern, minimalistic interior or a more traditional setting, these curtains seamlessly fit in. Plus, maintaining them is a breeze – a significant advantage for those of us with a busy lifestyle. Blinds and Curtains
ReplyDelete🌟 "I had the pleasure of visiting Qatar last month, and the wall paintings left an indelible mark on my memory. The fusion of traditional Qatari culture with contemporary art is beautifully depicted in these murals. It's a visual feast for both locals and tourists!" - paint services in Qatar
ReplyDeleteRoller blinds are such a game-changer when it comes to interior design. I recently installed them in my living room in Doha, and the transformation is incredible! The sleek and modern look they bring to the space is just what I needed. Plus, the practicality of adjusting light and privacy levels easily makes them a must-have. Great choice for anyone looking to enhance their home decor in Qatar! Blinds and Curtains
