How do you change up your home for Spring? I take out a new flower arrangement I have for Spring. What's yours?

or do you hang out a Welcome Spring wreath? That's a thought.

I'd write this in yellow just like the daffs in your image but you'd not be able to see it. This crop of daffs is just like the eal ones that have been blooming this week DESPITE the change of colder temps back again over night and in the mornings here. I love daffoldils, so many varieties and color combos. I love the 'construction' if you will, they're like little faces shining in the sun!

So I change my three bedrooms to reflect each season with different colors & patterns of quilts that I collect. Yes I said collect!!! I have an insane collection, my 3rd floor attic area which is a huge total finished room in itself. They all hang on two steel racks my husband installed for me. I've begun that process already in fact last Sunday in our master. I've already picked out the other two for the spares.

Downstairs I change out the drapes, comforter and throws in our living room too as well the drapes at our from door which has a long narrow side window too. We've wall to wall carpet again now otherwise prior to this I changed out the area rug to go with in the living rm & entrance hallway.

I change the floral basket on the front door the day before Easter.

Change all bedding.

Swap heavy throw blankets and pillows for lighter ones

Buy fresh tulips.

ETA: Yes, burn lighter scented candles.

I pull out bouquets of flowers and ribbon and put it with my primitives.

This is the Dining room. The jelly server is over 150 years old.

I usually clean the inside windows and I will try to do the outside. I have difficulty breathing so everything I do is a huge chore because I become short of breath. Anyway, I do try. I start buying fresh flowers to bring into the dining/living room area.

In the spring I use lighter color throws and pillows on my sofas. I made that switch on Saturday. I laundered and put the dark plaid ones away in my cedar chest. I will also switch to a spring tablecloth and centerpiece on my dining table the day before Easter.

Come spring, I take down my greens and pine cones and the couple of snow men things, and put back to just 'regular' decor. I don't have anything spring, and only a couple of neutral rabbit pieces to give a nod to Easter.

I just never find 'spring' things to use in decor that I like. I don't like pastels in home decor so that tends to limit it.

I will, around Memorial Day, get out the tiny box of Americana things I have and do just two vignettes that will stay up till after Labor Day.

Living room:

For spring, switch out "heavier" looking items, in favor of clear glass. On entry table, have my pressed glass hobnail ivy bowl, and pressed glass lidded candy dish.

I have two antique rabbits out, one an ivy patterned porcelain box, one a green teapot. They're not "Easter" or spring per se, but promote the feeling!

I do have a bunny sugar and creamer, bedecked with pansies, lilies and ribbons, sitting on a stack of books on coffee table.

In curio cabinet, my tiny English bisque "lambing season" lamb, grazing on grass.

Old, embossed terra cotta bowl holds some speckled wooden eggs on side table, and on another side table, my Limoges porcelain egg box with field flowers.

Even though Easter is my favorite holiday, I don't really have much specifically "Easter" or even spring, at all. It's fun to suggest it with what I already have.

Like others said, also use lighter candles. Oh, and for Easter dinner, I'll cut strands of my prolific lipstick plant and put them in water in crystal vase or my ivy bowl on the dining table.

Hey, I had tried several times to edit my post above to add a photo but it wouldn't go through. Will try again, but would be interested to know if anyone else has had trouble posting today?

Oh-- now all of a sudden the computer is letting me post this one I found of my silly bunny creamer online. It isn't my own photo, I think someone is selling their creamer online, but it is my identical creamer:

@Oznell The rabbit is adorable. Your decorations sound wonderful.

I don't know about you but this has been the worst year for me --- ever. I am having great difficulty breathing in addition to my other medical issues. I hope we will both be better very soon.

That is a precious bunny boy/girl.

Thanks, @Nonametoday . I fervently hope you and @Katcat1 start having an immediate easing in breathing difficulty, and improved health overall, and will say a prayer for that outcome.

Yeah, yesterday at that time of day, the Q site was giving me problems, including with posting pictures-- finally got that one up of the single creamer! I had wanted to post one that I found online of the set of creamer AND sugar. So here they are now. They're silly, whimsical bunnies:

@Nonametoday I hope you will feel better real soon. I have emphysema and it is at stage 3 severe. Unfortunately, mine will not get better but I try to make the best of my situation. @Oznell thank you.

Re: Spring has sprung

@Oznell @Katcat1

I have reactive airway disease which is chronic and obstructive now, similar to COPD, I was told on my last visit and my O2 sat is hovering around 94% and with walking about 90-91%. I thank you for your prayers and understanding and KatCat1, wishing you the very best breathing conditions very, very soon. Mine started out as asthma as a child and has progressed.
