STOPPED ME IN MY SCROLL
Have you noticed color returning to interiors? Neutrals and all-white rooms have dominated for several seasons, but lately I’m seeing richer palettes, saturated accents, and bolder combinations popping up everywhere. Color in interiors feels joyful and personal, and it’s refreshing to see designers and homeowners embrace it again.
The recent High Point Furniture Market was a great example of that trend—booths and vignettes full of lively hues and thoughtful layering. My Instagram feed has been sprinkled with more colorful rooms, which makes scrolling feel uplifting instead of monotonous.
This dining room by Mallory Mathison Inc. stopped me in my tracks this week. The cheerful mix of tones, layered patterns, and curated accessories give the space personality while still feeling elegant and intentional. It’s a good reminder that bringing color into your home can be as simple as swapping out textiles, art, or a few accent pieces.

OUTFIT INSPIRATION
Spring outfits are my favorite—light layers, fresh colors, and a relaxed vibe. I’m pairing white pants with a lightweight knit top that has three-quarter sleeves for a look that bridges cool mornings and warm afternoons. I’ll admit it: I don’t wait until Memorial Day to wear white. If the weather calls for it, white pants are fair game.
A well-fitting denim jacket is one of the most versatile pieces you can own. After trying a few styles, I found one with a flattering cut and the right length that doesn’t feel boxy. It’s perfect over tees, dresses, or layered with lightweight knits as the season shifts.
Accessories—like a simple necklace, a neutral purse, or a low-key bracelet—allow you to dress the look up or keep it casual. The ensemble below is a go-to for spring errands, casual lunches, or a relaxed weekend out.

WHAT I’M WATCHING OR READING
We recently watched a charming family movie starring Kelsey Grammer and enjoyed it thoroughly. Don’t let a “children’s movie” label deter you—this film is clean, entertaining, and a nice break from the profanity-laden blockbusters that have become common. If you prefer lighter, family-friendly fare without sacrificing a solid story, this one is worth a look. It’s available for purchase or streaming on several platforms.
RECENT PURCHASE I LOVE
I’ve been searching for a tinted moisturizer to wear on low-effort days—something that evens skin tone without the feel of a full face of makeup. A recent visit to my local beauty store introduced me to a CC cream with built-in moisturizer and high SPF, and it’s been a game changer.
The formula provides light to medium coverage, smooths skin texture, and includes SPF 50, which simplifies my morning routine by combining hydration, coverage, and protection in one step. I’m wearing the Light shade, and it blends well. If you want a no-fuss product for everyday wear that still looks natural, this one deserves a try.
IT CC+ YOUR SKIN BUT BETTER
ON THE HOME FRONT
At home, I’ve been dealing with a pinched nerve in my hip for the first time, which has been an unwelcome learning experience. My orthopedic doctor believes it will resolve without invasive treatment, so my current routine focuses on gentle stretches, rest, and some targeted exercises to help ease the irritation. It’s a good reminder to pay attention to posture and movement, even on busy days.
Meanwhile, my husband has been tackling a practical problem: we need more pantry and food storage. He likes to stock up when items are on sale, so we’ve been looking for a cabinet to fit a tricky space. After searching for a while with no suitable ready-made option, he decided to build a custom cabinet to fit the exact dimensions. While I’m doing stretches, he’s in the garage measuring, cutting, and assembling—one more example of making a house work for your needs through DIY solutions.
Wishing you a restful weekend filled with small joys—whether you’re refreshing a room with color, trying a new outfit, catching a cozy movie, or tackling a practical project at home. Enjoy your weekend, my friends!
