1. FAVORITE STYLING MOMENT: I’ve slowly been chipping away at decorating the banquette area in my kitchen. I still need to make a few pillows, but I’m loving how it’s coming together so far!
2. EASY DECORATING TIP OF THE WEEK: Refresh a room by swapping out small accent pieces like picture frames, decorative boxes, or vases for lighter toned versions. This simple change brightens your space and gently hints at the transition to spring.
3. DID YOU KNOW: Did you know wiping down houseplant leaves helps them absorb more light? Dust can block sunlight and slow healthy growth.
4. FAVORITE RECENT PURCHASE: My favorite recent purchase is the adorable lampshades that I found for the sconces in my banquette area. They are so well made, are an amazing price, and come in three different colors. They’re available in table lamp size too. Find all of my purchased and loved decorating, gadget, and organizing favorites HERE .
5. LOVELY LIVING AND BEYOND: Spend an evening without screens. Read a book, work on a small craft, or simply enjoy a quiet night at home.
6. READER QUESTION OF THE WEEK: “My coffee table always looks cluttered. Is there an easy way to style it so it feels pulled together?” See #10 for the answer!
7. WEEKLY AWESOME FINDS:
- Charming and practical, this scalloped woven basket offers a beautiful way to keep everyday items tucked away while adding a touch of texture to your space.

- Clean and classic, this gallery frame has a refined look that beautifully highlights artwork, family photos, or treasured prints with a timeless feel.

- Graceful and timeless, this brass taper holder brings a warm glow and classic elegance to a dining table, mantel, or bedside vignette.
8. WEARABLE STYLE:
- Feminine and easy to wear, this eyelet button-front blouse has a light, airy feel that pairs beautifully with everything from denim to skirts.

9. HOME HACK: Set a timer for a 10-minute “spring reset” each afternoon. March is a great time to ease back into routines after winter. A short daily reset to straighten pillows, clear counters, and open windows keeps the house feeling fresh without a big cleaning session.
10. ANSWER TO READER QUESTION (#5): Use a tray to corral a few simple items. Try stacking a couple of books, adding a small plant or floral arrangement, and including one decorative object like a candle or bowl. Keeping everything grouped together helps the table look styled instead of messy.
1. LEARNING TO LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE: Creating a cozy home has nothing to do with square footage or a renovation budget, it’s about learning to love where you already are. In this post I’m sharing simple ideas (that don’t cost a dime) to make your home a place you never want to leave.
2. COZY TIP OF THE WEEK: Ditch the big black void on your wall and display beautiful vintage art on your television for FREE. I’ve rounded up my favorite YouTube vintage art slideshows to help you get started.
3. AMAZON FINDS: Shop cozy finds I’m loving on Amazon.
4. LITTLE THINGS I’M LOVING:
- Cozy cottage framed cross stitches I can’t get enough of.

7. MAKE THIS WITH ME: Skip the store-bought dye kits this year and try naturally dyeing your Easter eggs using ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Red cabbage, turmeric, and beets create pretty spring pastels…here’s how to do it.
8. OVER ON THE ‘GRAM: When I invite friends over for an afternoon of Easter crafting, these are the DIYs we make.
9. WEEKLY MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: “I believe I know the only cure – to decorate one’s inner house so richly that one is content there, glad to welcome anyone who wants to come and stay, but happy all the same when one is inevitably alone.” ~Edith Wharton

9. CULINARY CORNER: Lemon Magic Custard Cake: Preheat oven to 325°F. Line and grease an 8×8-inch pan. Whisk 4 egg yolks with ¾ cup sugar. Add ½ cup melted butter, 1 tbsp lemon zest, ½ cup lemon juice, 1 tsp vanilla. Whisk in ¾ cup flour and ¼ tsp salt. Slowly whisk in 2 cups lukewarm milk. Beat 4 egg whites to stiff peaks, gently fold in. Pour into pan, bake 40–45 minutes until golden. Cool, chill 1 hour, cut into 9 squares, dust with powdered sugar.
10. THE LAST WORD: After Easter, decorating becomes less about adding and more about editing and softening. Keep what feels fresh, remove what feels themed, and let your home breathe a little. That’s where the beauty is this time of year. 🌸
ANSWER TO #7: A fox (Osterfuchs) delivers goodies to German children. However, the bunny is gaining popularity. Irving Berlin popularized Easter bonnets with this song, “Easter Parade.” Now you know.
