This week’s Weekly Wednesday Wish List feels like that slight shift between seasons, when winter still lingers, but little hints of spring are starting to peek through. I’m so ready for spring! This week, you will find favorite styling moments, an easy decorating tip you can do in an afternoon, early spring finds for your home and closet, and a cozy recipe that is simple but company-worthy.

There are beautiful pieces for refreshing your rooms, small updates that make a big difference, a home hack you’ll want to remember, and even a reminder that comfort should always come first when decorating. Settle in with a cup of something cozy and enjoy. There’s something for everyone on WWW.

1. FAVORITE STYLING MOMENT: Once upon a time, Fitz and Floyd was a hot item in the world of home decor. It may no longer be a hot item, but I still love the pieces that I have and am thrilled any time that I have a chance to display them. I’m constantly perusing Etsy looking for more to add to my collection.

2. EASY DECORATING TIP OF THE WEEK: Refresh your home by changing out hardware on one small area such as a bathroom vanity or piece of furniture. New knobs or pulls are an easy update that adds polish and personality.

3. DID YOU KNOW: Did you know February is one of the best months to assess furniture placement? With windows uncovered and less seasonal décor around, it’s easier to see what feels off balance in a room.

4. FAVORITE RECENT PURCHASE: I love keeping my tea bags and coffee pods in a canister near my coffee pot. I have been on the hunt for blue and white ones, that had an opening large enough for my hand to go through forever and immediately ordered three of these when I found them!

From decor, gadgets, organizing, and needlepoint – check out all my favorite Amazon purchases HERE.

5. LOVELY LIVING AND BEYOND: Mend something instead of replacing it. Sew on a button, tighten a loose screw, glue a broken piece. Repairing what we already have reminds us to value care over convenience.

6. READER QUESTION OF THE WEEK: “How can I make open spaces feel warm during the winter months?” See #10 for the answer!

7. WEEKLY AWESOME FINDS:

• There’s nothing quite like soft, well-made bath towels, and these striped ones feel like a small everyday luxury. Classic, comfortable, and made for real life, they bring a little Southern-style comfort into the bath without being fussy.
• A classic gallery frame is one of those decorating staples that never feels dated. This set has a clean, well-made look that lets your photos and artwork shine while still feeling collected and intentional.
• An arched floor mirror is such a lovely way to add light and softness to a room. The gentle curve and warm gold finish give it a collected, well-considered look that works beautifully in bedrooms, closets, or even a hallway.
• A wicker coffee table like this brings in such an easy, relaxed layer of texture. The natural finish feels right at home in both casual and more traditional spaces, adding warmth without overwhelming the room.

• One of those serving pieces that instantly makes entertaining feel more special. This set of cluster bowls has a classic Southern charm that works just as beautifully for casual gatherings as it does for holidays and family celebrations.
• There’s something charming and old-fashioned about stone bunny accents that feels just right for spring. These sculpted pieces add a soft, collected touch to Easter decorating and look lovely styled on a mantel, tabletop, or bookshelf year after year.
• There’s something about amber glass candleholders that instantly makes a space feel warmer and more inviting. This set adds a soft glow and a touch of old-world charm, perfect for a dining table, mantel, or sideboard.
• A marble tray like this is such a simple way to bring order and beauty to a countertop or coffee table. The footed design adds just enough presence while still feeling classic and well-balanced.

8. WEARABLE STYLE:

• These suede penny loafers are a classic wardrobe staple that never lets you down. Polished yet comfortable, they’re the kind of shoe you can wear season after season with confidence, whether you’re running errands or heading out to lunch.
• A swim dress like this is such a nice option when you want to feel comfortable and confident by the water. The wrap style is flattering and practical, making it easy to enjoy pool days or beach trips without overthinking what you’re wearing.
• There’s something so effortlessly polished about this mock-neck midi dress. The clean lines and classic silhouette make it a piece you can rely on for dinners out, gatherings, or anytime you want to feel pulled together without trying too hard.
• There’s something so charming about a cardigan with a little extra detail. The floral jacquard pattern gives this one a polished, pulled-together look that works beautifully for everyday wear or casual gatherings.

• An easy pair of flats like these is always good to have on hand. Comfortable, simple, and easy to wear, they’re the kind of shoes that work for everyday errands, casual outings, and everything in between.
• One of those easy tops that works for so many everyday moments. The lace yoke adds a soft, feminine touch, while the button-down style keeps it comfortable and familiar for casual days or dressed up just a bit.
• A button-down shirtdress like this is one of those easy pieces that always feels right. Polished but comfortable, it’s perfect for everyday wear and can be styled so many different ways depending on the season.
• A sweater like this is a lovely blend of comfort and polish. The collared, mixed-media details give it a tailored feel that works just as well for everyday errands as it does for a casual lunch out.

9. HOME HACK: Store cleaning wipes upside down Flip the container over once it’s opened. Gravity keeps the wipes moist so you don’t end up with dry ones halfway through the pack.

10. ANSWER TO READER QUESTION (#5):  Anchor the room with a rug and bring in wood or woven textures. Floor lamps and table lamps also help break up large spaces and add a cozy glow that overhead lighting can’t match.

1. LETTERS FROM A HOMEBODY ON SUBSTACK: I started something new last week…Letters From a Homebody over on Substack. It’s a more personal space where I’m writing cozy reflections about home, nostalgia, and what it really means to be a homebody. I’d love for you to join me there!

2. COZY TIP OF THE WEEK: Easter decorations are popping up everywhere. Before you toss all the bunnies in your cart, pause and choose only what you truly love, and what you’ll happily use year after year, not just for one season.

3. AMAZON FINDS: Shop cozy finds I’m loving on Amazon.

4. LITTLE THINGS I’M LOVING:

• This faux potted fern is so realistic looking and less than $15.
• Cabbageware lovers, check out this pitcher and salad plates. I had to have them!
• IN LOVE with this gorgeous Country Living dining cabinet.
• Ditch the winter doormat and update it with this one.

• A quilt with a gingham and floral print…yes please!!! This would be beautiful draped on the back of a couch or on a chair for spring.
• Beautiful mixing bowls. Pretty and functional (my favorite kind of decor btw).
• The wreath currently hanging on our front door.
• These cafe curtains with an embroidered edge are so dang charming!!!

5. FROM MY KITCHEN TO YOURS: If you’re craving a taste of spring, my Meyer lemon pound cake is pure sunshine in dessert form.

6. UPDATING MY WARDROBE:

• I cannot wait to wear this coastal sweater when the weather warms up.
• Give anything with gingham including this skirt.
• Dress up your outfit or handbag with a beautiful scarf.
• I cannot believe this cardigan sweater is $12…what?!

7. MAKE THIS WITH ME: Personalize your kitchen with DIY stenciled tea towels. All you need are plain cotton tea towels, a stencil, acrylic paint, and a stencil brush. Secure the stencil, lightly dab the paint on, peel back, and let dry.

8. OVER ON THE ‘GRAM: I’ve been looking for affordable (and pretty) chair pads for our kitchen counter stools for forever and finally found the perfect ones!
