questions of the day

spring decor

I don’t know about you, but I have been anxiously awaiting spring since about mid-November. Now that it’s here, we’re opening the windows to let fresh air in whenever the temperature peeks above 50 degrees, and we’ve been busy spring cleaning and decluttering. All I need now are some fresh tulips for the kitchen!

I love the freshness of spring after a cold winter, and although we don’t do a lot of seasonal decor, I’m definitely looking for ways to embrace the season in our home.

So today I want to know…

How do you refresh your home in the spring?

Do you have seasonal decor that reflects the season?

Do you use fresh flowers more often in the spring?

In what other ways do you refresh your home in the spring besides through your decor?

Looking forward to reading your answers!

Describe Your Dream Home

We’re incredibly blessed to live in a home that is, in many ways, our dream home.

We bought a lot that is a little slice of heaven and customized our house plan to include many of the features we’ve always dreamed of. It’s not huge (about 1900 square feet, with options to expand in the basement and the attic), but it fits our family perfectly, and we can see ourselves living here forever.

I wouldn’t complain if we could magically move all of it a little closer to “town”, but I’m willing to trade the 30-minute drive to Walmart for the peaceful, quiet neighborhood nestled between farms.

How about you?

How would you describe your dream home?

Do you already live in your dream home?

Where is your dream home located?

What features does your dream home have?

Looking forward to reading your answers!

P.S. Be sure to check out Farmhouse Love for a peek at Life Your Way editor Andrea Dekker’s dream home — I think many of us could claim it as our dream home as well!

Question of the Day: Fresh Flowers and Plants?

October 26, 2010

Although, I love fresh flowers in my home, I hate paying for them and I pretty much kill any living plan that requires regular watering — if I’m honest — so I don’t buy them as often as I’d like. But there’s something about fresh seasonal flowers that really adds a beautiful touch to any [...]

Question of the Day: Favorite Color for Decorating?

September 17, 2010

Decorating.  For some it comes so easy, for others it can be a struggle.  For me – I love to decorate!  I love to walk through stores or window shop and look at all the “goodies” and take those ideas home and use them.  I especially like to see a great color scheme somewhere and [...]
