Guest Picks: Spring-Dreaming Decor
Bring in bold color splashes, natural materials and crisp fabrics to give your home a whiff of the new season
Are you as ready for spring as I am? I find myself sitting around daydreaming of when the weather will be nice enough for sitting on the porch, watching flowers bloom, opening the windows and finally feeling those warm breezes. I think a little natural beauty with some splashes of bright pink and indigo are in order. Don’t you agree? — Melissa from Melissa Loves
