That’s right! It’s officially Spring next week! I can’t wait for the warmer weather to settle in. I’m watching my crocuses spring from the ground and I’m anticipating the colorful blossoms that should be opening shortly.

Spring time is all about the first splash of color after a dark and grey winter landscape. Spring time is when people are generally the happiest, according to many studies. How can you not be when the air smells sweeter and the breezes are warm?

My favorite part of Spring isn’t the flowers nor the warmth (though they are both rather pleasant). It’s the cleaning and redecorating! Everyone is familiar with Spring cleaning. No one likes to actually do it, but once it is done everything feels like new and sparkles with the morning sun. During this whole cleaning process, I like to change my decor to reflect the new, budding season. Obviously, I’m not going to go all crazy and repaint, so I change the look and feel of my wall decor and choice of area rugs.

Usually, I am not a fan of florals. I love flowers, but I would rather have the real thing than a picture of flowers. Spring time is the only exception to that rule. I hang floral prints and tapestries in the place of my regular wall hangings to get in touch with the season. Here at the Tapestry Standard, we just got some new (and gorgeous) floral tapestries that I, personally, would love to hang.

If you want to add a splash of Spring to your home decor, I highly recommend Fiesta Primavera I and II, Aux Coleurs II and for a breathtaking Spring landscape, Evening Glow Tapestry. I just know you will love them! Enjoy and embrace the upcoming season. Here’s to Spring!!!
