Easter is just a couple of weeks away — are you ready? I’ve been searching for a pretty dress that feels modern and effortless, not like a costume from Little House on the Prairie. I finally found one I love that feels chic and spring-ready and I’m pairing it with a simple white wrap to ward off any chilly breezes.
We have a wonderful lineup of inspiration to share this week — from trade show highlights and thoughtful guest-room tips to clever entryway makeovers, a designer showhouse tour, and practical advice for growing herbs in containers. Read on for quick summaries and why each post is worth a look.

This foyer makeover shows how board and batten plus extra millwork around doors can transform a plain entry into a polished, welcoming space. With a few well-placed architectural details and styling choices, an ordinary foyer gains depth, character, and a more custom-built look—proving that relatively simple carpentry and trim can have a big visual impact.
