We’re almost there! Spring is just around the bend, and for the motivated and enthusiastic, you know what that means. Spring cleaning, vacation planning, gardening, house projects, and decluttering the car. If you’re reading this and saying to yourself, “Now you’re speaking my language,” go on with your energetic self! But if your entrance into spring is more along the lines of a bear emerging from hibernation… a quiet yawn, a few stretches, and an energetic snack, you might opt for dipping a non-pedicured toe into something simple, a home décor refresh. A touch of color here, a dazzling statement piece there, discovered in a community that makes it so easy. With an array of options to choose from, finding that perfect piece to spruce up your home and feel productive allows you to effortlessly baby step into this exciting new season.
You go there for soft and comfy, but you can also go there for pretty and aromatic. Is there a spot on your end table that needs “a little something?” Does the corner by the dog’s bed need a little fragrance boost? You’re in luck! Nice Shirt Co. carries charming reed diffusers by Palms, Psalms, and Prosecco, a small woman-owned business in Minnesota. A clean, crisp white, they’ll fit in with any aesthetic, and with scents like Spa Day and Cabin Weekend, you’re sure to have a vacation state of mind in the comfort of your own home.
Ruthie’s House Vintage is a quaint storefront on Waconia’s bustling 1st. Street. We don’t know what they’ll have for you today, tomorrow, or next week, but we do know there’s a unique vintage something or other there with your name on it, and when you see it, you’ll know. Stunning candlestick holders? Maybe. A brass owl? Perhaps. Something unique and amazing? Absolutely.
The Stash is a go-to for many for stylish clothing and accessories, but it’s also the perfect stop for a living room pick-me-up. Blended Candle Co., locally poured soy wax candles, have taken up residence on a few shelves and are a popular pick among customers. What’s more, they’ve created ‘Stash Signature,’ a unique scent that’s only available at The Stash; think clean and light meets every day, then think about adding one of these beautifully crafted candles, adorned with an exquisite logo to the side table in your office.
Keep your decorating close to home with the Minnesota-based brand Juniper Blue Designs, found at Magnolia North Boutique. A colorful and whimsical printed tea towel is a simple yet impactful way to liven up your kitchen. White subway tiles? A pop of Meadow Blue will add a pretty springtime touch. Rich mahogany cabinets? Minnesota Houndstooth will be an exciting contrast. Practical and pretty. A win-win.
Sometimes, all that’s needed is a soft and comfortable splash to get that ‘just refreshed’ feeling. At White Birch House, you’ll find lovely pillows to do just that. A new cushy home accessory or two can elevate your sitting area, brighten up your office, or make your entryway feel a touch more welcoming. Plus, introducing new colors, textures, or prints will also up the ante on your style.
