The seasons have shifted, and it’s time to cast out the dreariness of the long, cold Idaho winter months!
Whether you are looking to spruce up your rental home in preparation for the warmer months ahead or you are just looking for some fresh ideas to be festive this season, here are a few ways to embrace the seasonal shift into springtime!
Open a Window
The best way to put the winter months into the past? Throw open a window! By letting that clean spring breeze waft through your home on a warmer day, you dissipate all the stale air that tends to collect when the doors and windows stay closed as the heaters cycle the same air for weeks at a time.
Fresh air also has amazing health benefits! By opening that window, you improve not only your lung health but also your cardiovascular health! Give your immune system a boost; let the fresh air in!
Embrace Spring Cleaning
If you know anything about the benefits of spring cleaning, you know why you should participate in this tried and true seasonal ritual!
Through the manifestation of the symbolic gesture, decluttering and cleaning your home refreshes your life. By giving a little attention to the more often neglected trouble areas (shredding junk mail, cleaning out your closet, organizing drawers and shelves), you can set yourself free in more ways than one. After the Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) that many people experience in the winter, this is a great way to give your mental health a solid boost!
Grow Window Box Gardens
Something about spring just makes you want to get your hands dirty! Planting a garden in a window box is a wonderful way to do that, and these little wonders are great for two reasons:
- You avoid the unstable temperatures of an Idaho spring, giving your plants a chance to thrive.
- You get to enjoy the beauty (and productivity) of your garden year-round!
Plant an herb garden to enjoy your favorites fresh all year, use standard green house plants to create an indoor jungle, rotate seasonal flowering plants to always have that touch of color, or embrace the succulent craze and watch them flourish before your eyes! The options to personalize your garden are endless.
Create Fresh Floral Arrangements
What is the first thing you think of when you think of springtime? It’s probably related to flowers!
This is the perfect time of year to embrace some of those beautiful locally grown blooms to decorate your home. A touch of floral brings elegance and whimsy to any decor! By keeping a plain vase, or even a large mason jar, on hand, it is so easy to DIY a beautiful arrangement for your coffee table.
Enjoy Culinary Diversity
The best part about spring is the expansion of fresh, quality produce that arrives with it! Check out a local vegetable stand or go to a weekend farmers’ market, and try something new. When you explore the first fruits of the season, spring has never tasted so good!
Making Your House Your Home
