Let’s Do Spring… With Style

April 29, 2014 By Lena 82 Comments

I’m one of those annoyingly optimistic people who truly believe that if you say something often enough, it will actually come true. Let’s practice, shall we?

The weather is warm outside. Spring is on the way. The weather is warm outside. Spring is on the way.

I know, I know. At this very moment, I’m pulling my robe around myself more tightly as I hear the wind rustling through the trees. But have faith, friends! May is only two days away, and May has a very good track record of bringing the beautiful weather. *Crosses fingers and toes*

So, to put myself in a sunny frame of mind, I’ve selected my favourite seasonal pieces from The Home Depot Canada. After all, spring is the time to prep the garden, clear the backyard and start planning your outdoor oasis – and The Home Depot has everything you need to get started. From outdoor décor and power to live goods, a local associate is always ready with some tips and tricks to help you prepare for the warmer weather.

(Shout out to the staff at The Home Depot – some of my favourite peeps on the planet! They’ve offered expert advice, mediation, crisis management and babysitting services.. and that was all in the same visit.)

letdospringTop: Hampton Bay Decorative Pillow, $16.48 – $18.98; Stomping Stone Terra Cotta, $8.99; Foliage, Asst Prices
Middle: Napoleon Charcoal Kettle, $274; Pleasant Hearth Fire Pit, $108; EGO Cordless Lawn Mower, $549
Bottom: RYOBI 18V Lithium Drill/Impact Driver Kit, $149; Toro Recycler, $449; Grand Caymen Urn, $34.99

Feeling inspired? Join @HomeDepotCanada on May 14th from 12pm – 1pm ET for the #chatwithstyleHD Twitter Party. The experts from Style at Home and The Home Depot will dish about the latest trends in outdoor living, their tried and true BBQ tips and the best in DIY. Of course, a Twitter Party wouldn’t be complete without prizing – they’ve got seven gift cards up for grabs, valued between $100 and $250. See you there!
