^^o you’re tired of die old stuffbut J^knot ready to dump it? How about Va^freshenihg up the house with some inexpensive decorating tricks?
Wash the windows. This chore has long been associated with the arrival of spring and will make the house sparkle. It may also force you so take a look at the window coverings that may need repair or replacement.
Give your window coverings a summer replacement. Think of fabric or pleated shades or curtains made of sheets, or swathe the windows in lace.
Roll up the rugs on hardwood or tile floors for a caafang-efFcct. Or add a whimsical dhurrie rug in fiesh pastels over the floor or walfto-wall carpeting. Rectangular shapes are your best value, and you can purchase one for as little as $50.
Bring the outdoors inside. Arrange spring blooms, such as daffodils and tulips, in a crystal vase or pansies in little terra-cotta pots. Even silk copies of seasonal flowers will help you get a ease of spring fever.
Add slipcovers. This old-fashioned idea is new again, especially when the fabric is pastel or floral chintz. When picking flowers, think big, and when thinking of pastels, think pink, seafoam green, coral and cream.
