I’m currently limited to putting weight on only one foot, so most of my days have been spent in a recliner. I’m eager to get back to my usual routine, but in the meantime I’ve been collecting plenty of ideas to share. One small disappointment: our TV gave up last night, which meant an unexpected expense — but we were lucky to snap up a great deal and get same-day delivery. Little wins like that help keep spirits up.

I think you’ll enjoy this week’s Home Style Saturday. We have a variety of approachable projects and styling tips that are easy to adapt, plus seasonal touches to brighten your home.
