Change it up

Every Spring I get the bug to change everything in my home.  I mean if I had my way walls would be repainted, pillows, rugs, and bedding would be changed just to make it feel fresh and new.  Since my budget does not allow that I have to just settle for minor changes.  They might be small but they make a world of difference to me and puts a little spring in my step.  Check out the things I am changing up!

I love the couch on an angle. It seems much more inviting for a conversation. My sister and I decided to move furniture one night around 10:30PM. 

Then we moved on into the Guest bathroom

It is so springy now!!  I received a $10 GC for Target so I got the new mats and towels for $14 out-of-pocket.  I know I should probably spend that $10 on diapers for Cailyn but Mommy needs a little pick me up every once in a while too!

The frame was recycled from this project…

I thought about putting in the bathroom but somehow I don’t think this sends the right message…

So I changed it out to something more sophisticated!

Last, non-seasonal change is a picture frame I have out in my den.  Every time Walgreens runs their 8X10 free sale I order a picture of my kids leaving the old ones in behind it. I love having at least one updated picture of the kids and then when I do change it out taking a small trip down memory lane.  Take a small walk with me…

Well, that about sums up the changes in my home. They are small but I love it! Does Spring inspire you to change things up in your home? I would love to hear what you are changing?

Also, next week I am celebrating 1 year anniversary of this blog (3 months late) and over 100 followers with an awesome (or I think it is awesome) give away.  Come back Monday for the announcement.

I like the new angle on the couch - it is more inviting and I think the sun hits it more which makes it seem cozier.
