Luxe Up Your Bathroom
A bathroom refresh is always a good idea. To give your bathroom a luxurious feel, add in some matching bath towels and rugs to add a clean pop to the space. Replacing the mirror(s), faucet, shower head, light fixtures and towel bars are a great way to modernize the space. Coordinate your bathroom accessories to add storage and act as gorgeous counter décor. Greenery or florals give a refreshing feeling to a bathroom almost as if you were at a spa.
Beautify the Backyard
Spring and summer are great times for those backyard projects. Renovating your backyard space to be a functional place to enjoy can be an ongoing project you do more and more with each year. Consider adding on a patio or a deck. Outdoor kitchens have become wildly popular.
