Hello, friend — I hope your week treated you well. We had about three inches of snow at our place over the weekend, and I loved it. The temperatures have stayed low enough that much of it remains, so for now the winter scene is lingering. There’s something comforting about the quiet that a fresh snowfall brings, and it gives us time to focus on cozying up interiors and getting small organizing projects done.

In this week’s Home Style Saturday you’ll discover a variety of practical and stylish ideas: quick drawer organizing projects to simplify daily routines, mood-lifting tips to beat the winter blues, a thoughtful account of clearing a family home to prepare it for sale, twenty easy ways to make a winter home feel warm and inviting, and designer-inspired tips for achieving a polished look in your own rooms.
