With Spring not too far away, most of us have started thinking about brightening up our homes and decor for the season, but first we must tackle all the spring cleaning tasks ahead. Call me strange, but I absolutely love cleaning and purging junk that has accumulated throughout the year. I actually look forward to all the organizing! In today’s post I will be sharing some ideas to help you prepare for a deep spring cleaning as the days get lighter, the temperature gets warmer, and a sense of optimism can be felt in the air. Indeed, this is the perfect time to declutter, get organized, and clean our homes in anticipation of the carefree days that late spring and summer will bring! Whether or not the groundhog sees his shadow, those glorious days will be here before we know it. Let the great purging begin! *This post contains affiliate links.

Hello and welcome back to another “Home Ownership 101” post here on the blog. Today’s topic is all about home security (insert moans and groans). I know, I know. It’s not nearly as exciting as beautiful and inspiring decorating photos or vintage junkin’ finds! Nevertheless, ensuring home security goes along with being a responsible home owner. We work so hard to make our homes comfy and beautiful, so why not take a few extra steps to make sure our homes, (and most importantly, the ones we love) are safe?

Summer is coming and I am so happy to be able to work in my garden and have fresh herbs and flower bouquets around the house again. Who’s with me? Actually, do we really need to wait until the weather warms up to bring the outdoors in? Of course not! Any time is a good time to add vintage garden style or natural touches to our homes. I love looking in magazines and Pinterest at bright, beautiful sun rooms and garden rooms that capture this aesthetic. Today I am sharing some inspiring photos as well as tips for natural interior design, regardless of the type of home you may have. *This post contains affiliate links.
