In my little corner of the world, spring is a magical time. It's green grass, orange blossoms perfuming the air, spring training, and hours of jumping rope and soccer in the backyard. Naturally, I gravitate to the color green this time of year. Here are some of my favorite spring green picks for indoors and out. — Elaina from Fun Finds for Mom

This grassy bookshelf would be perfect in a kids' bedroom. I'd also like it in my green-accented kitchen, mounted on the wall and holding a few cookbooks.

In Arizona, spring means citrus. I framed this original crate label from the '40s in a white frame in my kitchen, next to a similar lemon label. They look so fresh and cheery!

I bought this "grass" drying rack from Boon after reading about it on one of my favorite blogs, Chez Larsson. It makes me happy every time I pop a thermos on it to dry.

A new houseplant is an easy way to add a shot of spring green. My dad bought me a Zamefolia plant, which seems to be impossible to kill. It lives happily inside the white pot on the left.

Growing grass from seed is a fun spring activity to do with the kids. Set out a spray bottle of water and let them mist the planted seeds. My dad (gardener extraordinaire) actually planted 100 tiny pots of grass seed and grew them for me to use as place settings at my spring wedding.

I drove by a house with a huge tree in the front yard that was absolutely dripping with birdhouses. What better way to welcome spring than providing colorful birdie real estate?

I dig the color of this green powder-coated steel hose cart. I really need to set it up with our tangled mess of a hose. I know it would be love at first sight.

What I love most about Spring is that we can bring out the fun colors again, one of them being green! The Loll Swing is another great addition to all these accessories that can brighten up your home, inside and out.
Best,
