Finally, the trees are blooming, the grass is growing, and we actually saw the first Butterfly of the season outside yesterday - that means winter is over (hopefully) and it's time to pull out the tools and start those projects that were shelved for the winter.

And of course, it's time to refresh your art collection as well. Changing the art on your wall is a fast, easy and effective way to restyle your whole room, without spreading out drop cloths and pulling out the paint brushes.

Find something light-hearted, easy-going to lift your mood - buying artwork you love is the first step towards a great collection that won't go out of style for you.

Naturally, you'll probably want to also match some color of your room - but try something contrasting for a change - it just might be that little kick of color that makes a room a Niiiice Room. 

If you don't like putting holes in your walls, try using industrial strength Velcro Brand Hook and Loop tape. This does NOT work well on brick walls, or uneven surfaces, but regular painted walls hold it pretty well. It makes attaching paintings to your wall speedy - and you can just scrcchhhhhht them off, and stick on a new one when you feel like a change of art is due.

So, no more excuses about "not enough wall space" - double, triple or quadruple your space by rotating your collection, it's fun, and makes for a great conversation topic with guests to your home.
