2.  Clean your yard up - rake the grass and make room for new vegetation to come through.

3.  Pull out those bright throw pillows - This is an inexpensive way to give your couches a new look by putting out     "spring-like" pillows.

4.  Set out a welcome mat at your front door - Preferably something in bright colors like yellow, green or pink.  Nothing says Spring like a great welcome mat.
