We connected with our friend, Rachel Blustein, of Good Work Architects about updating our home for Spring. This is what she had to say.
As the frost disappears and the bulbs emerge through the soil, it’s time to open the windows and refresh your home environment. We take this opportunity quite seriously in our home, as it marks not only the change of seasons, but an evolution in energy.
10 Steps to Spring into the New Season
Fresh Paint: Grab a paint deck and consider refreshing your current paint or adding a spring accent pop.
Blooms & Breezes: Open your windows and doors for better air quality. Create a bouquet to celebrate you and the warmer days.
Fabric: Add lighter textiles for a breezier feel. Check out Baan de Sol for a beautiful and sustainable fabric forward spring dining experience.
Window Cleaning: What a difference this makes as the spring sun flows into your home.
Spring Cleaning and Decluttering: Sell items on Facebook market place or a take trip to a Goodwill donation center.
Garden Glory: Prep your garden for vegetables, herbs and flowers. Your bulbs from fall may be making their debut!
Roof Revival: This is the perfect opportunity to add a product to your roof - be a boss and de-moss especially here in Portland Oregon.
Pressure Points: Power wash your sidewalks but never your roof. You could degrade the shingles.
AC Tune-Up: Get an AC tune up to ensure your ready for the hotter summer months. You may consider changing your HVAC filter too.
Voila, you're ready for spring!
Carpe diem, my friends.
