March Madness

With warmer weather, sunny skies, flowers blooming and spring break, what's not to love about the month of March? It may not be official, but spring has sprung.

We also get the opening day of baseball on March 28th (GO RANGERS!), the first day of spring on March 19th, and March Madness begins Sunday, March 17th. Mark your calendars for all the big dates.

One thing that almost all my clients have in common is their love of entertaining. If you plan on hosting friends and family in your gorgeous home to celebrate the spring weather and sports, I've got a few ideas below to make life a little easier for you and your guests.

With those patio doors open and backyard shindigs beginning, I love the idea of this beverage tub customized with your name. When it's time for a party, just grab it from the garage and fill with your favorite drinks and plenty of ice so your friends can easily grab a drink. Cheers!

If you are firing up the grill or just serving take out, this melamine serving collection is great looking, neutral to go with any decor, and won't break outside. 

Almost everyone has heard that the scent of citronella keeps mosquitos away, but did you know lavender also repels those darn bugs?  Trader Joe's has seasonal lavender that make a simple centerpiece for dining outside, and a sprig tucked into a napkin ring makes a pretty touch to your table scape. Here is an article with additional plants that repel bugs you can consider when it's time to spend more time outdoors. 

If you need new outdoor furnishings, accessories or help styling a party, you know where to find me!
Happy Spring everyone!
