To-Dos: Your Home Checklist | MARCH

The first official day of spring this year is March 20. So whether there’s still snow on the ground or flowers in bloom, you can rest assured that nicer weather is on its way. Usher in the new season with a bit of spring cleaning, some fresh flowers and — if you can get outdoors — a little dirt under your fingernails. --- Laura Gaskill, Houzz Contributor
