Weekly Wednesday Wishlist #147

This week, I am finally ordering a new sofa for our patio. The one we have now was ruined by a feral cat who spent the winter under the sofa’s waterproof covering. The good news is there is so much beautiful outdoor furniture to pick from! This is a gentle reminder to take a look at your outdoor spaces and start planning for warmer weather! Happy Wednesday. Lory is first this week…

If you’re on computer, you’ll find an enhanced menu when you hover over the “Decorate” tab, and on both mobile and desktop, you’ll find new category pages under Decorate for Seasonal Decor, Timeless Decor, Style by Room and My Home Tour. Under each, you’ll find further breakdowns to get to the posts you’re interested in.

8. FASHION PICKS:

9. WHAT’S INSPIRING ME AROUND THE WEB: This exceedingly peaceful home is the very picture of understated elegance. This stunning bedroom is the epitome of a modern French aesthetic. Not a home, but I’m loving this simple DIY for creating pretty coasters.

5.) A few weeks ago I shared a refreshing spring decor idea that centered around adding bits of yellow to your existing decor. This article shows how to add pops of yellow in very small doses, and the ideas are adorable.

6.) FAVORITE FINDS FOR THE GARDENER:

7.) Mother’s Day is just around the corner! I just updated my Mother’s Day Gift Guide with some very fun things any woman would love.

8.) This colorful cottage bunkie might be small, but it’s full of personality and ideas. Inspired by its stunning surrounding landscape, this small bunkie in Lake Muskoka is decorated in a soothing palette of blue, green and brown.

9.) Last week I mentioned that I was watching a mini series on Hulu called We Were The Lucky Ones. There are four episodes available, with the fifth episode streaming tomorrow. It’s an amazing story about a Jewish family in Poland during World War II. So far, there have been a few difficult-to-watch scenes, but on the whole, it’s been wonderful. It’s a true story that has been fictionalized, but it’s historically accurate. I know it’s not for everyone, but if you like this sort of thing, it’s definitely a must-see.

10.) Wishing you all a peaceful week. XO

ANSWER TO #7: The name of April comes from the Greek word for opening, as in flowers opening up in the spring. The Titanic hit an iceberg and sank on April 14th, 1912.
