Spring Decor

Patriot3 — Sat, 13 Mar 2021 16:03:37 GMT

I so want to get my house decorated for s/s, but can't seem to find the energy and I guess I'm waiting for that official spring date. Ho hum.

@Patriot3 Right there with you. Absolutely no motivation at this point to tackle it...

Was in a slump , but after a trip to a Michaels store to buy ribbon to make bows for a wreath , I found some Easter decorations . Been digging out spring wreaths and home interior decorations which has me on my way. Am potting some tomato seeds today .

I decided to decorate for Easter as I have quite a few items . I went back and forth as to should I or not bother and ended up decorating.

I am happy I did because the house looks lovely and in the long run it didn't take much effort to make it nice. The end result perked me up and made me feel good, in that way it was worth it.

I'm too melancholy for spring, which is very atypical for me, since it usually has me energized. Sign of the times, I guess. I'll take one for the team and hang a spring wreath. Just because...

I flet the same way. Couldn't get motivated and just wasn't in the mood. So like I do when I Spring clean and decorate for Christmas, I put some 1970's music on and away I go.

I'm sort of there with you @nana59 I do a little something special for fall and for Christmas, but not for other holidays. When I say I want to spruce up for spring, what I actually mean is to do some cleaing, rearranging and shuffling in different accessories like pillows, throws and such... Not planning on doing anything special for the spring or summer holidays...

I just did this a couple weeks ago. I did some housecleaning, put all the snowmen away, put up my spring wreath outside and swapped out a couple of Luminara's. I generally just decorate for the season, not each holiday. I'll tell you though, I was so happy when it was all done. Yay spring

@JYWilliams You cracked me up with the 70's music thing, I do the same !!

Since January have been going with just some traditional non-seasonal decor pieces....but that got old and boring so I put out some spring decor items instead and it has picked up my spirits and made the upcoming Daylight Savings Time change a bit more tolerable....

@Spurt Wish we could just set our clocks ahead in March and leave it there!! Don't see any sense in it at all.

My Easter decorations are pulled out but I won't decorate until after St. Patrick's Day - probably next Friday.

I don't decorate for Spring any longer. I do keep greenery out year around and may bring a few Spring flowers in that my neighbor offers us every year.

I did not decorate for Spring/Easter last year, since I felt as you do. But this year, i got some more chocolate bunnies with the scroll icing (so cute) and and that made me get in gear. Brought out a lot of greenery and added more luminara candles and then a few bunnies (well lots) and that has perked up the house. We are having so many gray, rainy days, so all the greenery and candle liight has helped with that. It is spring in the house anyway.

I'll make a few arrangement changes and arrange a vase of fresh flowers when I get some "umph"!

Spring decor is my favorite and will stay in place until September or so.

My home is decorated in very soft colors with lots of whites and neutrals so Spring decor is perfect for me.

I agree. There is a bill in the NM legislature to do just that. It passed the Senate but probably won't be brought up by the house. 😡😡

As for decor, I gave what little spring stuff I had away when we moved. I do well to put out a few pumpkins for fall and get the tree decorated and a few things out for Xmas.

And I'd be in favor of leaving them alone altogether... No more 'fake' time...
