Spring is all about bright colors –greens, blues, pinks, and yellows! Bring that festive feeling into your kitchen with these finds from Etsy, a website where artisans sell their unique handcrafted goods.

With warmer weather and an upswing in energy, spring is the perfect season to load up the car, pop up the tent and sleep under the stars in Mother Nature’s arms.

In my spring cleaning routine, polishing my furniture into a shine is the finishing touch after giving the whole house a scrub down. It reminds me of layering on a piece of jewelry after carefully choosing the perfect dinner outfit—while not completely necessary, it adds a little something extra.

It’s so easy to let a bedroom turn chaotic, tossing your clothes around as you slip into PJs. As the room of the home where we spend little of our conscious time, the bedroom often gets placed last on that never-ending organizing to-do list. And it never seems to move up on the list. Instead, the bedroom becomes a catch-all for everything you didn’t know where to put in the rest of the house.
