Spring 2017 Projects for the Whole Family

Tuesday, April 4th, 2017

The Stanley Furniture Living Room Console Table 585-15-05 will look perfect in your newly-designed entryway.

The long, cold winter season is gone. Officially, we’re welcoming spring as we stop shoveling snow off the driveway, salting and begin gardening, redecorating and painting. Here are some ways that you can make your spring makeover a lot more fun as your whole family takes on these unique projects –

Wine Bottles Turned Into Gardens

Were you able to keep those wine bottles during Christmas and New Year celebrations? Now it’s time to put them to good use by cutting half of the bottle, lengthwise. You can then put some soil and plant some flowering plants into these cute bottles. These should look good as a decorative element for the coffee table, credenza or the dining table.

Paint the Shutters

Have some old shutters painted so that you can turn them into a message board. Any bright paint will do. Hang the message board on the wall or simply lean it against one of the walls.

Use Wall Decals

You can also create instant wallpaper by using removable wall decals. Even simple polka dots can be a lovely thing to look at on a plain wall. Create a wallpaper-like pattern throughout the walls. Try other patterns or colors. Use gold, metallic, black or gray. Have fun with more colorful hues such as pink or the very hot aqua, turquoise or emerald green.

Colorful Hooks on Entryways

What’s the first thing that you see when you walk into someone’s home? The entryway is the first part of the home that one gets to see so you should spend time beautifying this. Make this place more cheerful by adding fun hooks. They don’t just present added storage but are also colorful knobs or hooks that will surely catch visitors’ attention.

Flower Station

You can have a few shelves become flower stations. The other shelves can be used as a home for your books, collections and knickknacks. Set up your favorite ceramic or glass vases, floral buckets and pitches. Bring out also the mason jars that have not been used for a long time. These can be repurposed as a container for freshly cut flowers.

Dress Up the Stairs

Apart from the entryway, an oft forgotten spot in your home is the stairway. It would be a lovely thing if you would be able to surprise your visitors with a new paint color in that area or some interesting stencils.

Try painting your wooden stairs or the risers with a color that represents you. Use stencils in geometric or floral prints just to reiterate the theme for the season.

Beautify the Mantel

The use of basic terracotta pots on your mantel is also a good idea to provide color inside a room. Instead of having pitchers or pots gather dust in your cupboards, it is best to bring them out and have them filled with a cluster of ferns and some fresh flowers. These can be used to prop a book or two on your mantel.

When you are going to use old pots, though, make sure that you clean them up thoroughly so that they can add and not diminish the beauty of the living room.

The Yard Makeover

Take spring cleaning to a whole new level as the entire family sets up the bamboo fence around your home. You can also have some Tiki torches, paper lanterns and outdoor cushions to complete your new hangout area.

Set up a simple outdoor bar, add some booze bottles, glasses and some source of entertainment and you have a place that’s worthy of a sarong party. Play some surfing music and have the whole family take their much-deserved rest there.
