Are you short on time but want to make your home feel more spring-like?  Follow these decorating tips for instant springtime in your home:

1. Make a centerpiece for your table: flowers are a natural springtime hit.  Bring out the tulips, hyacinths and daffodils either silk or fresh.  Fresh flowers are always a hit and make the home feel festive and alive.  Silks are a great alternative that can be used again next year and you will not have to change the water.  Look to your china closet, Goodwill or antique stores for a fun alternative to a vase.
2. Bring out the toys.  Do your children have cute stuffed bunnies or chicks?  Use them to create a springtime vignette.  Group a couple together in a corner or on a chair in the living room. Why not even put them in pastel colored baskets?
3. Change the table cloth.  Pick up a new vinyl table cloth from Shopko or why not purchase a couple yards of some cute spring themed material from Sierra’s or JoAnn’s and use it as a tablecloth and you will have instant springtime.  
4. Put a wreath on the front door.  Recycle your holiday wreath by wrapping a floral garland around the wreath and voile; you have an instant door greeting.
5. Getting ready to dye some eggs with the kids?  Check out this video on how to make it easy to peel those eggs. Speaking of kids dying eggs, here is a listing of local Easter Egg Hunts. Want some ideas for egg decorating? Porters has some neat ideas.  Those eggs look very cute when put out in a basket, just prevent food poisoning by keeping them cool.

 Decorating for springtime doesn’t have to take a lot of time.  These days when we have such hectic schedules, just a few touches can make your home feel more like spring.
