Embracing Springtime In Your Home Décor

Spring has officially arrived. As a season of newness, organization, and all things creative, spring is one of the best times to showcase your artistic talents. Where should you start? Your home is the number one place where your personality shines. If you’re hoping and wishing you could change the feel of your home, but don’t quite have the budget, start small. The moods of your accents and decorations change everything.

You say: “My living room is boring.” I say: “Throw pillows!” You might laugh, but it’s true. Plain-colored couches look fantastic and fun when paired with uniquely colored or patterned pillows, and it just so happens that Beverly’s Fabric & Crafts stores have a lovely selection of fabric for your home. I must admit, I’m pretty excited about the discounted Amy Butler fabrics because they remind me of spring! And that’s what we were discussing, correct? See what I did there? Anyway…

As I dole out tips, tricks, and advice to you in adding a little spice to your décor, I will also say this: the Internet is an awesome tool for inspiration. Not only can you shop for supplies online, but you can also see what others are creating and see what you like! Spring is a wonderful season because it gets people out of their creative hibernations. Also, people love to share their projects through blogs! When I need some creativity-caffeine, I visit blogs like I Go By Katie, How About Orange, and Oh, Hello Friend.

Who will inspire your spring project, and what will your project be? Share with us in the comments below or on Beverly’s Fabric & Crafts Facebook Page!

Fashion Trends for Spring 2011

I’m not quite what you’d call a fashion-forward, jet-setting starlet, but that didn’t stop me from religiously following the previous New York Fashion Week 2011, in which designers showcased their most notable spring pieces. Admittedly, I kept up-to-date via the Internet’s myriad fashion blogs (like Fashion Chalet, The Man Repeller, and The Sartorialist), but I’d say I’m pretty informed about early 2011’s most noteworthy trends.


This coming spring, we’ll see a lot of neutral classics mixed with bold-colored statement pieces. Noticeable yet tasteful accessories are a must. Check out our Twisted Fabric Flower Necklace how-to with video. Also: metallic. In spring? Absolutely. This trend spans from jewelry to the actual clothing. Shine is in style.

What’s so great about all this? I’ll tell you: accessibility. Chances are you’re not about to spend several hundred dollars on a chunky bracelet, no matter how chic it is. So, why not take matters into your own hands and get creative? Find some poppy-red fabric or some pretty gold beads at Beverly's Fabric & Crafts stores, and you’re already on your way. Mixing colors and metallic’s can be tricky, but as long as you have a neutral piece to balance the whole look, you’ll look fresh and fun.

So, what about you? Even though you may be used to the normal spring pastels, do you think you’ll try something new this year?
