I know some may be thinking, why would she need a Spring refresh living in Hawaii?!?! After my Christmas decor is taken down, I am ready to start brightening and organizing my home. I usually keep my decor pretty neutral, and with doing that, I can use so many different pops of color throughout. Changing up a few of my accessories gives each of my rooms an instant update and an inexpensive refresh. I have also compiled a random list of my favorite new items/purchases and wanted to share them with you.
You probably remember me telling you that I am a pillow fanatic and that changing out pillows is a cheap way to give a room a little makeover. Target has the best selection of pillows in right now, and I am in love with all of the black & white on their shelves.

I love a new vase, but at times I like to switch it up and use a pitcher instead. I have found some great options at TJ Maxx/Home Goods to add to my living room. Isn’t this gray beautiful!!! I also added a few faux tulips to give this room a touch of spring.
My dining room has two huge windows, and I don’t have a lot of wall space to hang decoration. So, a bit of green on my table brightens up this space and makes it feel more cheerful than it was!
With Adding a new lumbar pillow, more tulips, and a touch of green, I feel like I have a new family room. Now I am on the hunt for the perfect rug!
I don’t know about you, but I was ready to bring some spring scents into my home. My two favorites candles are Fresh Cut Lilacs and Lily of the Valley from Bath & Body Works. They both smell heavenly!
With a few new accessories, flowers, and spring scents, you can give your home a spring refresh and truly not spend much money. Even if the weather outside is dreary, you will be amazed what a little refresh can do for your attitude.
Now onto my favorite new style & beauty purchases:
I have just got to give a shout out to Rodan & Fields lash boost! I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing this product is! My lashes have seriously grown so much to the point they almost look fake. I have always had short stubby lashes, and I love them now. If you have been skeptical about this product, don’t be anymore. Trust me! You will not be disappointed. I am not a consultant, just a happy customer.

Another favorite purchase of mine is the Zella Leggings. These are comfortable, thick enough for coverage ( because who wants to wear a see-through pair of leggings), and are a great price point.
Zella Live In High Waist Leggings
If you love a comfortable Maxi dress, this one is on sale now. I tend always to buy black, but I may branch out and try a brighter color for spring.
I hope you have enjoyed my favorite new items and spring refresh post. To bring something different to the blog, I thought it would be fun to continue to do a monthly update on my home decor, favorite items, or anything new I would like to share.

Thank you For some beautiful ideas Michele. I have a beautiful brown leather couch, similar to the one in your photo and I’ve struggled with how to dress it. I love the dark blue and feel that may help refresh my family room. I love your blog and look forward to all of your ideas.

Thank you for the sweet comment, Pat. I love to mix masculine and feminine pieces. I am starting to love navy throughout my house and just love how it pops against the dark brown leather. Thanks again for checking out the blog.

Thank you, Paula. I felt like my family room was a little too masculine before and I needed to frill it up a little. I am loving the apple green for spring.
