Lovely Finds: 6 Spring Home Spruce Ups & Giveaway

April 04, 2016



Except for the sobering realization the windows
will HAVE to be cleaned to avoid neighborly scorn (ha!),
I love how spring energizes me to shift into sunshine mode.
(and sunshine mode = an awesome giveaway today.)

6 Lovely ideas to usher us into the season:


the renovated master bath is coming along...here is the latest update on the makeover

1.
FLUFFY new TOWELS for the bath.

our master bedroom in progress...

If you love a luxe hotel quality bath towel,
these ultra-absorbent, extra soft MicroCotton
towels at Macy's are available in 21 colors
and are sure to impress.

They truly are a lovely way to make any bath more spa-like:

Hotel Collection Ultimate MicroCotton Bath Towels


I'd love to offer you a chance to win
this lovely set above ($158)!
Leave a comment here but read
the details here.


Here is a peek at our tub which
will soon be plumbed in the renovated bathroom...

2.
A pretty new outdoor piece.



Can you imagine sipping lemonade
or sweet tea as you wait for summer
to bloom out here?

The chairs and sofas in Janus et Cie's new Savannah line feature sensually curving arms and legs and pretty oval seat-back motifs set into a cane-like layer of mesh, all in a user-friendly scale that transforms powder-coated aluminum into a rarefied thing of beauty, readily available in 20 shades.

The rockers (below) remind me of my mama
who has them lined up on her back porch like this.



3.
Peaceful-hued art.


Holly Irwin



Artist Holly Irwin creates magic.
Holly says she paints the girl who lives and breathes
within her, and it's easy to feel her ethereal soul in these pieces.



So feminine and chic.



4.
Greenery from Outside.
(or art suggestive of plants).

Sometimes we need reminders there is
free plant life right outside the door.



Pottery Barn! (these are faux)




No time  for harvesting yet...so art by Eileen with faux succulents works.

5.
White linens.













White linens bring us full circle to
the MicroCotton towel set giveaway
now through April 14th!

Have a spruce up to add to this list?

Peace to you right where you are.

  2. Hi Michele, I think this home is breathing new life into you. I love every though you are adding to it. The vanity ?? Who wouldn't want to beautify themselves in a room like this, wait! The room alone makes you feel beautiful, for get all the make-up one just needs to walk into this room and feel beauty all around you.

    Love all you inspired, the bedroom that feels like a house boat looking out to the waters dock is so peaceful. And the art is really fun, I really like the faceless ladies here, I guess one could imagine their own face in each piece.

    Looking forward to more of your home, soon, I hope?
    Thank you dear for your visit, always make my day to see your beautiful words gracing my comment list.

  3. Michelle,
    I have enjoyed your Cottage Renovation. Everything looks "lovely". I use the word lovely all the time. I prefer it to pretty or nice and sometimes even beautiful. The word lovely attracted me to your blog several years ago. You have not disappointed, love your blog. I'm looking forward to the exterior renovations. Hope I win the towels. Have a lovely day.

  18. I love it all! My entire house looks like spring year round. When I picked paint colors for 3 rooms, it looked like an Easter basket, lol. I love fresh colors that bring a lot of light into the room. And plants and nature are my favorite decor themes. These are beautiful ideas!
