Here's some inspiration I am using:

My Plans For Spring

FREE IMAGES I keep telling myself it won't be much longer until spring! With a week's worth of snow on it's way I might be dreaming but at this point I am hanging on to my dreams. I'm trying to decide what I'd like to do with my curb appeal this year and I'm thinking simple might be the way to go:

Decorating with plants and house plant inspiration

FREE IMAGES With the sun shining in through the window and the spring bringing beautiful flowers, I've decided to share some great ideas to enjoy some of that outdoor lifestyle inside with your home decor.  I don't have great luck with plants - easy care ones I even tend to kill - snake plant, etc...while more delicate ones I somehow manage to keep alive.  Still, I love the way they look (when they are healthy)  and I love the air filtering benefits of plants.

Mix it in with the decor you already have by choosing the pot or container with the same care you would any other piece of decor.

Trees are a great way to soften a corner...

Or just for adding impact.

I love terrariums, and they are a great way to start small if you aren't sure or you don't feel like you have the green thumb. A little can go a long way and some of these are seriously adorable!

I also love the look of plants - potted or hanging, in the bathroom.

Inspiration for your outdoor space (if Spring ever gets here!)

FREE IMAGES We are officially four days into spring, and even though we've barely felt the warm temperatures around here, I can't help but daydream of what I would love to be doing to our outdoor space! We moved into our home last year mid summer and didn't really get a chance to enjoy spring. Here's some inspiration I've found that I'd love to incorporate in my outdoor area:

I like the idea of having some of outdoor space covered for really hot days so I can still enjoy the outdoors in the shade!

Although we aren't near the beach, I love the driftwood used as decor, and the big throw pillows for a homey feel.  And check out that giant clamshell planter!

The huge potted plants are stunning in this space. It makes a great sense of privacy for the table and chairs while also being beautiful.

This space doesn't need a lot of words, that outdoor kitchen...dreamy

Love the container gardens...I just wish I had the luck to keep them alive.

I really like outdoor spaces that feel like the indoors.  This space is like an outdoor living room.

There's something about large outdoor curtains that scream luxury to me! The bring a little of the indoor out, great for privacy, and creating shade when you need it.

What plans do you have for your outdoor space this season?
