Perfectly ready for Spring

PERFECTLY READY FOR SPRING

I’m so perfectly ready for a new season; it’s not even true. With the love of February’s red roses and heart-shaped chocolates in the air, one has to feel alive.

My winter wardrobe needs to be changed and so does the color of the dining room.

First things first and says my friend -- there’s nothing like a new purse if you’re on a tight budget.  Low and behold, the deep red or ocean blue Longchamp Shoulder tote (Http://clothing-and-accessories-become.com) is just what I need to get started. However, I might consider adding the absolute cute winter hat and gloves for the end of the year in the shopping chart.

One week later and with the tote over my shoulder, I feel confident that the right color for the dining room will jump out at me once I see it.  Keeping in mind that Valentine is competing with spring in mall and to my disappointment, I don’t find what I’m looking for.

Apart from my frantic rush to beat the winter blues, my husband invites his colleagues over for dinner and even though I’m not one for competition, it is kind of boring to have the same setting year in and year out. A new tablecloth can do the trick, but then again that will not be too exciting. I’m a sucker for antiques and find the perfect crystal chandelier. (Http://Home-and-garden.Become.com/gold-chandelabra) It takes my breath away and gives me an excellent starting block to run the race. After picking the chandelier everything falls in place and makes it easy to choose the pearly silver color paint for the walls. The nice thing about this color is that it matches dusty Rose, deep turquoise to dramatic black and can be changed according to the upcoming event or season. To finish off the new look, I just have to replace the dreadful thermostat-plate. (Http://become.com/thermostat-wall-cover-plate)

Days after the delightful evening with colleagues and enough adoration to saturate my non-competitive, just joking, nature I’m totally happy with my readiness for 2011, but to my surprise my husband isn’t. The guest bathroom he says needs something new.

From experience I say, it is adviseable to start with a centerpiece like recycling the old trash bin, pick a new one and work it from there. Ready, get set, go to Http://Home-and-Garden.Become.com/Bathroom-trash-can and join me in the race for fun.
