Figure A Figure B Decorating for Spring TIPical Mary Ellen host Mary Ellen Pinkham and Michele Thompson, manager and decorator of Southern Lights, talk about a number of ways to make a home come alive for spring. First rid the home of all the clutter that tends to build up in the winter. Clear away magazines and books that have been piled on tables. If a table looks too bare, try adding just one simple item. Remember, the idea is to keep everything open and clean.
Nothing says spring quite like a colorful display of flowers.
Place them throughout the house to add color, fragrance and texture to each room. Not only are they attractive, but they also give off a nice scent. Put away any afghans or other blankets that are draped over the backs of sofas and chairs. Clean them first, then store them until needed again. Either remove the rug or replace it with a lighter-colored one.
