Ring in Spring

MNH has teamed up with Abby Barnett of Flair Designery to ring in spring.  We're bringing the spirit of spring from the outside in and sharing festive tips to delight the senses and celebrate the season.    

Taste

Pack up the chai and spiced cocoa and replace it with a soft yet crisp flavor of spring, Lavender Lemonade.  Abby Barnett buzzed about this super simple recipe and it's our new go-to favorite refreshment for entertaining. 

Smell

Spring's bounty of blooms are on their way!  Be ready to adorn your home with fresh cut flowers in each room.  Abby suggests using reclaimed Old Judge Coffee Jars to hold flowers.  You can find them online at Etsy, or at flea markets or antique stores. 

See

The coffee table is often the focal point of a living room or sitting area and the perfect place to start sprucing up for spring.  Abby shares one of her favorite DIY decorating idea that's sure to be an instant eye catcher. 

Hear

Prepare your ears for the on-slot of compliments you'll hear at your next get together.  Select a bold fabric and make your own table cloth.  Abby says, "It's a fabulous alternative to buying table cloths", and we love that there are endless prints and patterns to choose from!  You can sew or iron the edges but leaving the raw cut is perfectly acceptable too. 

Touch

If you are anything like us, the bedroom is always last on the list.  Why is that?  Shouldn't it be the other way around?  This spring, make your room, your sanctuary, a priority.  New sheets, a freshly painted accent wall, a colorful throw, or decorative pillows are all it takes.  Neglected no longer!
