Three terracotta pots with green plants in a black metal rack against a rustic farmhouse-style clock face wall decor.

Random thoughts on a March Madness Saturday morning:

1. Happy first week of spring. It’s been glorious here in Texas.

How’s the weather where you are?

2. Are you watching March Madness? Baylor won yesterday, but now we have to face #1 Duke. Yikes.

Fingers crossed.

3. We went to watch my nephew play baseball yesterday. It was the same field Zach played on.

If I squinted, I could see him walking up to bat. I found this story from the last game he played that made me miss being a baseball mom so much.

4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We talked about

  • this amazing yard sale find
  • this spring mantel
  • these amazon fashion finds
  • these book page sculptures

5. If you are looking for a good book for spring break? I just found this list.

And now?

Need a little inspiration for the weekend?

I got it.

Here are my favorite links from the week.

A rustic dining room features a wooden table with six chairs draped in white fabric. A large potted plant is at the center. Two ornate mirrors lean against the wall, and a chandelier hangs above, enhancing the elegant, vintage decor.

Sometimes the best decor ideas are the easiest.

You can make little changes that make spring show up.

Here are 10 ways to add spring to your home.

Bright kitchen with white cabinets, a central island with wicker stools, and wooden beams on the ceiling. The room features a stove, a plant, a basket of apples, and a window allowing natural light to stream in. A sofa with cushions is in the foreground.

This is such an ingenious idea.

A kitchen cabinet on the counter that looks built-in.

You can see the DIY here.

This is the season for spring tables.

And flowers look even cuter in a cabbage vase.

You can see the how-to here.

And why didn’t I think of this?

The perfect spring front door.

I have a basket that looks like this and these faux hydrangeas would be PERFECT in an arrangment like this.
