banquet in a kitchen

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.
  • Fresh and tailored, this striped bolster pillow brings a crisp pop of color and pattern that layers beautifully with both classic and casual decor.
  • Rich in color and classic detail, this vintage-inspired medallion rug brings warmth and character to a room while being wonderfully practical with its washable design.
  • Clean and classic, this gallery frame has a refined look that beautifully highlights artwork, family photos, or treasured prints with a timeless feel.
  • Playful yet classic, this scalloped outdoor pillow cover adds a tailored pop of color and charm to a porch, patio, or sunroom seating area.
  • With its warm wood finish and simple grooved detail, this tabletop shadow box is a lovely way to display seasonal accents or treasured pieces with understated style.
  • Bold yet refined, this blue feather palm peel-and-stick wallpaper adds a fresh burst of pattern and personality while still feeling timeless and easy to live with.
  • 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.
  • Relaxed and versatile, this lightweight denim-style shirt has an easy, laid-back feel that works beautifully worn on its own or layered over a simple tee.
  • Crisp and classic, this striped poplin shirt is updated with soft bubble sleeves for a fresh, polished look that works from day to evening.
  • Subtle embroidery gives these ankle jeans a fresh, updated feel while keeping the classic fit that makes them so easy to wear every day.
  • Soft and effortlessly pretty, this eyelet midi dress features a flattering silhouette and delicate detail that make it a lovely choice for warm-weather days.
  • Elegant and flowing, this ruffled maxi dress has a graceful silhouette that’s perfect for weddings, special occasions, or any moment that calls for a polished look.
  • Fresh and eye-catching, this smocked eyelet dress features a lovely teardrop pattern and easy silhouette that feels both polished and comfortable for the season.
  • Pretty and feminine, this puff sleeve blouse features a soft floral print and flattering square neckline that adds a charming touch to any outfit.

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:

5. FROM MY KITCHEN TO YOURS: My baked French toast casserole is a family favorite and one we enjoy every Easter morning. And the best part about this recipe is that you can make it the day before!

6. UPDATING MY WARDROBE:

  • Isn’t this one of the cutest handbags you’ve ever seen?!
  • Need this skirt, IYKYK. And this graphic t-shirt is so cute with it.
  • Get the look of Birkenstocks without the price tag.
  • There’s a reason why these jeans are selling like hot cakes. I have multiple pairs.
  • Love the smocked detail on this top.
  • Grabbed this coastal dad cardigan for our Maine vacation this summer.
  • A cute, cozy, comfortable dress for warmer weather.
  • You’ll find multiple ways to wear this button front blouse. Easily dress it up or down.

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

10. WOULD YOU RATHER APRIL EDITION:

  • Jelly Beans or Cadbury Mini Eggs
  • Decorate Your Home for Easter or Skip the Decorations and Spend Time in the Garden
  • Wake up to Bird Chirping or Rain Tapping on the Windows
  • Watch the The Ten Commandments or Easter Parade
  • Carrot Cake or Lemon Pound Cake

*My Answers: Mini Eggs, Decorate for Easter, Wake up to Birds Chirping, Ten Commandments, and Lemon Pound Cake

Spring kitchen with open cabinets

1). SPRING KITCHEN TOUR AND MORE: If you need a little spring inspiration, I’m sharing my Simple Spring Kitchen Tour with ideas you can use in your home, along with a handful of Last -Minute Easter Ideas you can put together easily.

2.  AMAZON FINDS: See all my favorite new picks and trending accents from Amazon.

3. GET ORGANIZED E-MAGAZINE: Getting organized doesn’t have to be hard. This 22-page e-magazine gives you 5 easy-to-follow rules that can help bring more order and calm to your home, one smart step at a time.

4. THIS AND THAT: Make the cutest bunny cinnamon rolls, see THIS. THIS will help you know the best herbs to plant in your garden. I make THIS every Easter, and it’s my family’s favorite. I’m collecting THIS charming decorating trend. I’m obsessed with THIS craft. You might want to make THAT after Easter.

5. FABULOUS HOME FINDS:

6. BEAUTIFUL HOME TOURS AND MORE: Tour this timeless Southern home that instantly feels welcoming, and make sure to see beautiful brunch tables and spring decor. If you like European decor, you will love this lovely home filled with antiques and heirlooms. And this richly layered home is a must-see; it is maximalist to the max!

7. FUN AND INTERESTING FACTS: The Easter Bunny does not deliver goodies in Germany. What animal does? Which composer popularized the Easter bonnet tradition?

8. CURATED CLOSET: Spring clothing

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.

Happy Wednesday, friends…
