The air is starting to feel warm and you can feel the underlying pull of spring and summer. This time of year always makes me feel like cleaning out closets and taking a good look around my house to see what needs fixing, changing and general sprucing up. I want to recover furniture, paint, get rid of half-dead house plants and bring in new ones. Adding a piece of new furniture or upgrading an old piece is also a welcome change  to renew interest in my home. Refreshing my home leads to wanting to entertain with friends over dinner in my newly refreshed and energized space….

I have also been interested in pinterest and putting ideas on my boards – it’s a great way to remember where I saw things for future reference…
