I wanted to dedicate this Super Six to sprucing up the house for SPRING. And, by sprucing I mean buying new things&#8230;not cleaning (because there\u2019s nothing attractive about scrubbing screens or wiping down baseboards. Yawn.) Just like the change in season demands a wardrobe overhaul, I think it\u2019s a perfect time to take inventory of your decor, too.<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\">Lip Pillowcases \u00ad I mean, how cute?! In the warmer months, I like to switch up my bedding to all white. These cases will add a tiny pop of color to an otherwise monochromatic color scheme.

In fact, I\u2019m confident that I could sit back and watch my husband install it over the course of a weekend! He really loves when I find projects on the internet. (insert eye roll emoji).

I love this monogram, made out of weather\u00adproof materials, prominently displayed to welcome guests. Personally, I would paint it in a bold color to add extra flair.

Every once in awhile you can find them at places like Home Depot or IKEA. They aren\u2019t cheap and I don\u2019t think they are very easy to keep alive. I found this article on how to take care of one in case I have the good fortune to purchase:<span class=\"s1\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1RSmpK8\"><span class=\"s2\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/1RSmpK8<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Quartz Knobs \u00ad Don\u2019t these look like earrings? They are BEAUTIFUL! I want to revive a piece of furniture by painting it and adding these knobs. Instant glamour.

I have the spot in my yard all picked out. I am not a very good gardener (by any stretch of the imagination).
