It’s no secret that spring started early throughout many parts of the country. Who would complain about budding blooms, warmer than normal temps and gorgeous weather? For many, spring represents a season of rejuvenation and new beginnings. Everyone needs a second chance at life so why not get one with the start of spring?

So in honor of the new season we commission everyone to exercise their decorating talents by sprucing up their home with fresh housewares to make it sparkle. There is however a twist as the call to decorate also includes a little sustainability.
