5 WAYS TO SPRINGIFY YOUR HOME Winter got you down? Winter blues, or seasonal affective disorder (SAD), is thought to be common.

There are things that you personally can do to fight the blues – such as keeping active, getting outside during the natural daylight, and staying warm.

But there are things you can do around your house as well to battle the shorter days and cold weather that comes in winter. Bring a little spring into your home long before the season arrives with these few simple tricks:

Set a flower budget

While it’s certainly not a necessary expense, adding an arrangement of fresh flowers to your home weekly might be well worth the mood-boosting value they bring. Opt for your local supermarket instead of the florist and stick with brightly colored mums, carnations and daisy to keep the investment low. Or up the springtime vide with a bouquet of pastel colored tulips.

Start your veggies from scratch

Make a small investment in a few indoor potting supplies and start your tomato and other vegetables from seed this year. Choose a sunny window and watch them sprout. By the time the weather is ready for them outdoors, they’ll be strong enough to plant.

Get some plants

However, before making any purchases, take a little time to look up flowers that do well in the winter months. Even if you’re keeping them inside, flowers that require lots of light might not do so well during the shortened days of winter, and there’s nothing worse than flowers that wilt right away. If you’re looking to just add a vase or two of flowers, go with a variety that tends to last a long time like mums or carnations.

Like flowers, plants will also help boost your mood, but will last much longer than cut flowers. However, since its winter, choose some of the easier to care for varieties that don’t require a lot of light or water, such as succulents and Chinese evergreens. However, since a living plant will last much longer, make sure the one you pick will also fit into your eventual spring and summer décor. If the plant fits, but its container doesn’t, you can always repot the plant come spring.

Trick your senses

Lighten your surroundings

There’s no law that says scented seasonal candles must be used in said season! Use the powerful sense of smell to make you feel like spring, even if the weather outside says otherwise.

Try a lilac, hyacinth or rose scented candle, or take it a step further and light candles that smell like the beach or warm-weather fruits like peaches or watermelon.

Force bulbs

If you can’t wait to see those first harbingers of spring pop up through the ground outdoors, plant some bulbs in a few pots around the house and watch them sprout and bloom long before the calendar turns to spring.

There is also no decorating rule that says you must wait until spring to replace your heavy drapery with your airy sheers. Doing so will instantly brighten your mood by letting more natural light and sunshine in. Some people find that using a dawn simulator - a bedside light, connected to an alarm clock, that mimics a sunrise and wakes you up gradually – can also brighten your mood.

By taking these few simple steps, you’ll be feeling like spring in no time!

6 TIPS T O D E E P C L E A N YO U R G A R AG E One thing on your long summer to-do list may be cleaning out the old garage. For most, this sounds easier than it actually is. Garages tend to house years of accumulated and forgotten items, especially if you have a large family.

On top of that, there is years of dirt and grime on the floors from car tires and engines, bikes, lawnmowers, etc.

Clearing everything out and cleaning your garage is a serious job. Below are six tips to help you make the most of the big clean out.

P i c k a dat e

To avoid putting off the task, choose a hard date on your calendar when you’ll be home and free for your garage clean out. Depending on the size of your garage, a full weekend may be necessary.

Tell your family members about the date to make sure they will be around to pitch in.

G at h e r yo u r r es o u r c es

Stock up on large trash bags, visit your local grocery store or big-box store for discarded cardboard boxes, and get a big push broom to sweep out dirt. If you have a lot of stuff lurking in your garage that you need to toss, consider calling your county’s waste management service to schedule a bulk pick-up or see if you can order a dumpster.

Ask for help

Do you need to borrow a friend’s pickup truck to lug your unwanted items to the dump? How about a power washer to clean the floor once it’s clutter-free? Ask around and line these things up in advance so that you’re ready to go.

Pile it right

At the start of your clean out, create three piles: to keep, to sell, and to donate. As you come across items in your garage, add them to their respective area and keep moving. Be firm in your decision; once something has landed in the sell or donate pile, try to resist temptation to go back and keep it.

Organize, organize, organize

Set yourself up to re-organize your space once it’s squeaky clean. Do you need to install more shelving units? Hooks and bins? Gather these items in advance.

S w e e p & p ow e r - wa s h

Once you’ve organized, move every item out of your garage and sweep out the loose dirt, rocks, leaves, etc. Then power-wash the floors and walls. Washing away a decade (or more!) of grime will really help your garage sparkle.
