Without a doubt, the outdoors is coming alive. Now to bring all that freshness inside.Here are a few ideas for easy, budget-friendly touches around your home that will make it feel like spring has truly sprung.A pretty spring wreath. Now’s the time to put up a welcoming and flower-festooned wreath to let guests and neighbors know that, yes, you do indeed know what time of year it is. In the interest of reducing waste and saving money every spring, I recommend buying a high-quality faux (but realistic-looking) fabric version that you should plan on using again and again for the next five years or so. For that functionality, I like designs such as Monique Lhuillier’s Faux Lemon Wreath & Garland ($126 on potterybarn.com), which looks completely real and  brightens up any entryway.Bring the outside in.
