A Home and Heart Refresh For Spring

A Home and Heart Refresh For Spring brings new energy and excitement into everyday living after a long Winter.

A big thank you to my friend Marty of A Stroll Thru Life for organizing this Spring Home Tour blog hop.

A full list of participants and links can be found at the bottom of this post.

If you are taking the tour in order, then you just came over from Peacock Ridge Farm, who finished up Monday’s tours.

Welcome to Camp Paradise, my lakeside log cabin home in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, where I am kicking off Tuesdays round of virtual home stops.

Welcome to Camp Paradise

In a few months trees and plants will begin budding in our area.

Usually we don’t get much of a Spring, just a quick mud season between Winter and Summer.

But this year we had a very weird Winter with no snow and warm temps, it has felt like a really long Spring.

We can get as much as 100 feet of snow in the Winter and our local tourism depends on it as recreational enthusiasts flood our area for snowmobiling, cross country skiing and ice fishing, but this year the trails couldn’t even open.

It’s been hard on the economy.

Typically, our Winters are long and cold and last from October into April and we truly have a need to feel refreshed in home and heart as Spring begins to break through.

Even without all the snow and freezing temps this year though I’m still craving these reviving practices.

Refreshing the Home

There’s lots to do this time of year to give our cabin home a refresh.

With the new buds and blooms outdoors also comes a rebidding of freshness and color inside.

So Fresh & So Clean

Going through the cabin and giving everything a deep clean feels amazing in Spring.

Opening up the windows and doors to let in the fresh air is invigorating.

I break the giant job of cleaning the entire cabin into doable chunks that don’t overwhelm, put in my earbuds, start my audiobook and get to work. See what I’m listening to HERE.

Organize

As i go around and clean, I’m also decluttering, moving extra decor into crates to take down in my storage room.

Winter has more layers not only in clothing, but in our home with lots of throw blankets and seasonal decor.

It simplifies for Spring.

Color Bursts

After the bright lights and colors of Christmas, my Winter decor matches the view outside our windows and goes to more neutral palette of browns and whites.

The bursts of color then that begin popping out inside in March bring a refreshing joy throughout.

Adding florals and mosses is one of the quickest ways to boost the color levels.

Refreshing the Heart

With all that’s refreshing in our home, I’m also getting a reboot to my creativity and energy in myself.

Refresh Your Routines + Habits

This time of year is a great time to refresh routines and habits.

Morning sunlight makes it easier to wake up and get the day started strong from the get go.

Just like the beginning of the calendar year in January, Spring gives us another natural inclination toward trying again with habits like those of a productive morning.

A New Journal

Each season I love getting a new journal with fresh, clean pages.

I love keeping journals for my daily to do lists, my morning pages writing and other idea dumps.

There’s something about a blank page that leads to an energizing, reboot and abounding possibilities.

Maybe a new project will evolve.

Maybe a new workout plan will forge forward.

Menu planning will include new clean recipes with lots of fresh ingredients.

Refresh Your Mindset

For some Winter can be hard on energy levels and mood.

Spring brings a refresh of our mindset with more sunny days and daylight.

Getting outside more can really bring a boost in positive thinking.
