While it may still say winter on your calendar and in the weather forecast, we know your creative thoughts have already turned to the brighter days of spring!
“This is the perfect time to refresh your home in small, meaningful ways,” explains Courtney Brownewell, owner of Sweetbay Home & Gift in Mooresville. “We believe this in-between season is all about balancing cozy comfort with a hint of freshness – to create a space that feels renewed and welcoming.”
That’s where Sweetbay can help you every step of the way! Courtney shares one of the easiest ways to breathe new life into your home – updating well-loved furniture.

“A fresh coat of paint can completely transform a beautiful piece you already own,” she adds. “Whether you’d like to take a painting class with us, have us handle the transformation for you or you’re ready to swap out a tired piece for something new from our curated collection, now’s the time to plan something fresh for spring.”
One element that makes Sweetbay Home & Gift such a unique shopping experience is their delightful mix of old and new items – from both favorite wholesalers and cherished local vendors – all creatively curated.
“We proudly support more than 30 local vendors, allowing us to present a good mix of merchandise including gourmet food items, adorable dog treats and collars, pottery that includes one-of-a-kind mugs and handcrafted vases, resin art, artfully designed clay and wood jewelry, locally made greeting cards and wall art created by watercolor artists and painters,” shares Courtney.

This is an ideal time of year to remember even the most simple updates can make a big impact. That might mean a new piece of wall art for your favorite reading nook or a stylish mirror to brighten the family room you literally live in.
“Something as simple as a creative grouping of baskets can also add texture and warmth to a corner, while our lifelike faux greenery brings new energy to any space,” she adds. “If you’re feeling like an easy pop of color is in order, we have new pillows and throws to brighten your home and show off your personality.”
Should you need a nudge in pulling together your home’s spring refresh, the friendly Sweetbay team is always ready to lend a hand to help customers restyle bookshelves with updated accents, refresh coffee tables or create beautiful centerpieces for dining tables.
“Those thoughtful details make a home feel intentionally styled and lived in,” she adds.
