5 Home Improvement Projects for Spring

Spring is in the air and with it comes the perfect time for a little revamping. Shed some light on your home and defrost it with some fun springtime DIY home improvement projects.

Add Pops of Color

There are countless ways to add pops of color to your home. All it takes is a little paint and some time. Colorblock a plant vase or paint the legs of that old stool. Don't worry too much about sticking to a single color scheme; mixing and matching hues is half the fun.

Plant a Garden

Is any other time of the year more perfect for gardening than the springs? After all, it's April showers that bring May flowers. And not only flowers, but herbs and lettuce and yummy fruits! For all of you with no outdoor living space, gardens aren't only for the outdoors - bring the outside in. A couple of herb plants in the kitchen and flower pots in the window do a lot to bring life into an otherwise dreary room.

Paint and Distress Mason Jars

For a springtime project that's both quick and fun, paint the inside of some mason jars. You can make them any color you want make perfect gifts. Plus, they can be used as cups, vases, containers - just about anything really.

String a Floral Garland

Floral garlands have been strung to decorate homes and parties for centuries. All you need is a stick, sandpaper, string, needle and your flowers of choice. Find a large stick and sandpaper it until it has a fine texture. Tie the string around the stick and thread your flowers along the length of the string. Voila!

Flower Popsicles

After revamping your house for spring you're going to be hungry for a treat. Make a snack that's both light and breezy - perfect for spring. The best thing about popsicles is that they're simple and can be tailored to suit any taste.
