Hot, tired and tired of looking at the same old rooms day after day?
Use this time of easy Summer time lazy days to bring in some color and life in your rooms. It won't take long and is so easy to do.
A quick trip to the local discounted home goods store can do the trick. Use an outdoor plant stand in an empty corner to add some colorful pots with live plants for a fresh look. It is not only a chance to bring some color to the room it is an opportunity to help "purify" the air in the room. Plants filter the air and look so fresh. Add colorful blooming plants and change them out when they start looking a little ragged. If potted plants don't work for you, how about adding cut flowers in an old pitcher or ice bucket. Take the opportunity to use something that is hidden in a cabinet to place them in. Aunt Elli's cut glass would love to be put to use. You can admire it and the flowers.
How about replacing kitchen cabinet hardware. Plenty of websites offer great selections and inexpensive prices. If that is to big of a job, how about just replacing hardware on a table or desk?
Outdoor furniture is on sale now. Try adding a small wicker table or a canvas chair to a room. Don't forget editing of accessories on mantels and bookcases frees up spaces for new ideas and colorful accessories. Change is good.
De-cluttering is always a good way to spend time during a hot Summer afternoon.
Pour yourself a lemonade and try and stay cool. Put your feet up and take a good look around and improve your spaces and your attitude at the same time. Now that is a great refreshing idea.
