Greetings from Budget Decor at BellaOnline.com!

Well, spring finally arrived! It's been warm here in central Virginia all week. I've been taking walks around the neighborhood and enjoying the fresh blooms - purple red bud trees, yellow daffodils and forsythia, white pear trees. It's very pretty. The birds seem to suddenly be everywhere, too. This morning alone I saw a pileated woodpecker, bluejay, a few bluebirds (love them!) and a lone robin. They all seem to be very active and busy with the new season. Makes me want to start on some fresh decorating projects around my home, including painting some rooms. That brings me to my feature article!

DECORATING QUOTE

"There is nothing more exciting than to change the way you look at things to envision something different from what already exists, and to slowly, gently, give your rooms your imprint." ~ Alexandra Stoddard from Creating A Beautiful Home.
