5 Spring Projects Around the Home

Bader Obeid • May 9, 2015

As the sun peaks out and the snow melts, people find themselves wanting to get their homes in order with a weekend of spring-cleaning. Go beyond the basic closet cleaning with these 5 DIY crafts that will help you take your home from good to great.

1. Prep Your Deck

Once the calendar turns to March, spring is just around the corner, which means you are going to start thinking about spending more time outside. That makes it the perfect time to prep your deck. The flooring experts at Carrollton CMA Flooring suggest doing a deck-check for any damage, then using a deck cleanser and sealing it two days later.

2. Freshen Up a Room

Thinking about spring can inspire you to freshen up a room in your home. Consider painting the room, or at least an accent wall, putting up new window treatments, or upholstering a piece of old furniture with a fabric in a trending spring color.

3. Redo a Floor

If you’ve been thinking about new flooring, there is no better time than spring to take on a flooring project. Replace that laminate you never liked or the old carpet with something that’s more warm weather-friendly, such as tile or wood or even stone.

4. Do an Outdoor Project

With spring on the way, it’s the perfect time to do an outdoor project. Some examples include making a sandbox for your kids, installing window planters or making an outdoor food storage shelf for the produce you plan to grow in your garden.

5. Take Care of Your Home’s Exterior

Spend a little time on the weekend making much-needed exterior updates and fixes to your home. For example, repairing or replacing your gutters or downspouts, or fixing and replacing window screens that you will use once warm weather hits.

As a design consultant, I spend a lot of time guiding clients through the finishing touches that make their remodels feel both beautiful and lasting. More often than not, I recommend a look that’s soft, timeless, and effortlessly elegant. That look now has a name: the cashmere kitchen — and it’s still going strong. So, what is a cashmere kitchen ? Think of it like your favorite cashmere sweater: soft, classic, comfortable, and a little bit luxurious — without being flashy. Some designers even call it a soft neutral kitchen or a timeless kitchen. The idea is the same: subtle luxury that feels as good as it looks. Key Elements of a Cashmere Kitchen Cabinets : Warm neutrals such as soft greige (J&K Pebble) paired with a warm wood accent like J&K Butterscotch. Countertops : White quartz with gentle gold and brown veining for a polished yet understated look. Hardware : Champagne bronze for subtle warmth; matte black for contrast on darker cabinets. Floors : Light, natural hardwood like Regal Alton to keep the space airy. Backsplash : Glossy, handmade-look tile (SOHO Surfaces) that adds texture and visual interest. Overall feel : Everything flows together. No harsh contrasts — just understated details that shine. This is what makes the cashmere kitchen such a perfect example of a comfort luxe kitchen : elegant, but inviting. Why Homeowners Love a Cashmere Kitchen A cashmere kitchen design checks a lot of boxes for today’s homeowners: Timeless appeal – Won’t feel dated in a few years. Easy to personalize – Add your own touch with lighting, décor, or barstools. Resale - friendly – Neutral palettes appeal to a wide audience. Relaxing atmosphere – The mood is calm, cozy, and inviting. It’s the perfect balance of modern and classic — Shaker cabinet doors provide tradition, quartz countertops keep it current, and metallic hardware adds polish. Many homeowners see it as a classic warm neutral kitchen because it feels both stylish and practical. Cashmere Kitchen vs. Transitional Kitchen
