Did you celebrate Valentine’s Day? Ours was quiet and relaxed—just exchanging cards and a promise to always write something heartfelt inside. I did light a candle and set it on the table while we ate leftovers, which felt cozy and intentional. Small moments like that can make an ordinary evening feel special.

This week’s Home Style Saturday features a variety of ideas to refresh your home and inspire the season: a bright citrus salad recipe, a garden and barnyard tour at Moss Mountain Farm, tips for keeping cut tulips fresh longer, a complete guide to spring decorating, and practical advice for updating your home style to match your current lifestyle.

It’s light, refreshing, and an excellent complement to any meal, especially as we move into warmer months when fresh flavors feel right.
