Inspiring Miniature Seasonal Accents: Spring and Summer

Do the warm days carry your thoughts to revitalizing the yard or freshening up your home? Whether you’re just beginning your venture into ?outdoor? options for your dollhouse or you’re looking to add to an already developed landscape, here are a few ideas to offer a bit of spring to your miniature world.

You can always use trees and shrubbery as well as other garden related items to make your landscaping more lush and realistic. Floral favorites like lilac bushes, tulips, or trellis led roses add spring and summer charm. However, beautiful garden options go beyond greenery and flowers themselves. Try adding these to your dollhouse to reflect seasons:
* Decorative planters
* Window boxes
* Hanging baskets
* Flower cart
* Rock garden
* Wheelbarrow
* Watering can

Outdoor entertainment accessories and decorative pieces also lend character to your miniature yard. These tiny items add to the realism:
* Adirondack chairs
* Picnic or umbrella table
* Wishing well
* Flag set
* Arbor
* Bird bath
* Fountains
* Statues
* Canoe
* Bicycle

Perhaps a seasonal freshening entails adding a few interior accents. You can add a spring and summer feel without breaking the bank or overhauling your room creations.  Substitute a few smaller accessories with seasonal alternatives. Options include softer colored throw pillows for a sofa or bed, a light floral quilt or a seasonal floral arrangement for your dining table or door. 

Consider using the inspiration of spring to take on the challenge of a gazebo, a garden shed, or even a summer cabin. Whatever the size or focus of your project, you can enjoy infusing your miniature world with the beauty of the spring and summer seasons.
