We hope everyone had a wonderful February! A few days ago, I was out in my yard, and I saw the tulips coming up in our flower garden! I was so excited! Spring is on its way which means more color, warmer weather, and working on projects outside again! (We started yesterday by sanding down some end tables and repainting them out on the lawn – so great to be outside again!) I loved the projects that were featured on the site for February and had so much fun compiling them for this post, I hope you love looking through them again too! Keep your eye on our site as well as our Facebook and Instagram feeds for some fun ideas to get your home ready for spring, as well as for some of our favorite DIY home remodels and upgrades!
One of our favorite Valentine’s Day posts last month was from Cassity. She shared what a lot of us go through, the craziness of life that makes it impossible to decorate for each and every holiday! So she shared one of her favorite tricks to keep your home festive, but also keeping decorations minimal, she does this by simply switching out a couple posters around the house for each holiday. It minimizes the holiday storage too because you are just storing a couple pieces of paper. She shared this cute, festive But First, Kisses! poster for Valentine’s Day. It will work whether you like to keep it simple, or go all out! However you decorate, this piece is definitely a great one to add to keep your home feeling festive!
