The changes of seasons is always something to enjoy. Spring arriving offers so much you can do indoors and outdoors. So, we came up with some suggestions for you brought to you by Country Living.
Outdoor Herb Garden
There's nothing like seeing that first new growth poke out of the earth to signal that spring is on its way. But you can recreate that feeling even if the ground is still frozen by planting an indoor herb garden and watching it grow. Pot some cuttings of rosemary, basil, thyme, and other favorite herbs and put them in a kitchen window. When the ground thaws, transplant your little garden outdoors.
Spring Clean Your Closet
Say goodbye to winter with a changing-of-the-closet ceremony. Now is the perfect time to pack away heavy woolens in favor of pretty blouses, and replace those old wire hangers with cushioned or wooden ones. Organize clothing by color and then sort by type (tops, pants, dresses) within each color
Creative Organizing
Getting organized doesn't have to mean hiding everything out of sight. Here, folding chairs are transformed into art when put on display, while still remaining within easy reach. Spruce up plain or scuffed-up chairs with a fresh coat of paint. For extra oomph, choose a bright color such as Glidden's Razz Berries to highlight one, and paint the others in tonal hues to soften the overall effect.
Time With a Friend
Schedule some quality time with a friend. Take a long walk together, and don't let a little mud keep you cooped up inside. Pull on a pair of rubber Wellies (find a selection at smithandhawken .com), then puddle jump with abandon.
Lavender
Scent your home with lavender. The herb's soothing fragrance subtly perfumes the air, and its purple flowers are just plain pretty. For bundles of dried lavender and other products, try lavenderfarms.com.
Marseille Soap
Start your annual spring-cleaning ritual with a load of laundry to freshen your linens and warm-weather clothing. Consider sudsing up the old-fashioned way with Marseille soap, which is gentle on skin but powerful enough to remove tough laundry stains. Before ironing, pour some scented linen water into your iron's well or spray directly onto each item to infuse fabric with a gentle fragrance. To purchase Marseille soap and linen water, go to loccitane.com.
