Spring is the perfect time to start planning improvement projects. Some spring improvements aren’t even that time-consuming or costly — yet the results are just as pleasing to the eye.
Color Combinations on Plant Pots
Plant pots can go from ordinary to extraordinary with a simple coat of paint or two. Tape off part of the pot and apply one color and let it dry and paint the rest another color.
Patterns on Accent Walls
Create a one-of-a-kind design with painters tape. Prime the wall, tape the pattern you prefer with the tape, and remove the tape to reveal your design.
DIY Kitchen Wall Art
Buy an inexpensive frame and cut out shapes with durable tissue paper from an art store. Use a heavier paper for the background. Dilute glue with some water to prevent bleeding.
Crate Gardens
Find a crate or wooden container that catches your eye and simply place your preferred potted plants inside — and you’re done.
Display Shelf Makeovers
Add some pizzazz to your display shelves with a fresh coat of colored paint on the back panel. Shelf paper can also be used.
Flower Cones
Send guests home happy with some fresh-cut flowers wrapped in a cone made of craft paper. Wrap the stems in a damp paper towel to keep the flowers perky.
Teacup Gardens
If you don’t have enough old teacups for this one, go flea market hunting. Drill a hole in the bottom of each cup for drainage before placing your desired plants and soil inside.
Revived Table Legs
Revive your tables by either painting existing legs or swapping older legs with new or different ones. Tip: Vintage hairpin legs are popular again.
Can and Jar Makeovers
Put those cans and jars you have sitting around to good use by turning them into planters. For an added touch, print vintage labels or get creative with paint.
Pantry Reorganization
Get some clear plastic storage bins and wicker baskets and organize your pantry shelves — and throw out any expired foods and spices.
Painted Furniture
Breathe new life into your kitchen stools, desks, and tables with a fresh coat of paint. If you want an entirely fresh look, go with a different hue or combine colors.
Chandelier ‘Flowers’
Colorful tissue paper flowers aren’t only fun to make; they can easily inject some style into chandeliers when woven into the chains.
Candlestick Updates
Paint candlesticks white and then add a spring hue of your choice to either the top or bottom half. This also works for vases.
Repurposed Bar Carts
Old bar carts — or even grilling stands — can be repurposed as portable gardens you can move around your yard or handy beverage and food stands when you have company.
Outdoor Light Strings
Globe lights or other stringed lights can add a festive touch to your backyard as the days get longer and warmer.
