My Spring Favorites

Did anyone else feel like spring took its sweet time to really take hold this year? We’re just barely out of the woods in terms of those chilly transitional days, but the trees have officially sprouted their new leaves and we’re finally seeing 70-degree days in the forecast. Suffice to say, it has been a particularly hard winter with way too much time spent cooped up inside, so I can’t tell you how excited I am to get out of this house and enjoy some sunshine.

In honor of the new(ish) season, I put together a ‘Favorites’ video that details all of the things I’m loving right now for spring—from beauty products I’ve recently added to my routine and new handmade jewelry, to a couple pieces of clothing I can’t stop reaching for. Scroll on for the linked list and don’t miss the embedded video below, too.

Click here for more info about my ‘Shop Small’ spring challenge, which I mentioned at the end of the video. I know a lot of the pieces I mentioned in the list above are from bigger brands, but I’ve had a blast shopping more local boutiques behind the scenes for things like one-of-a-kind home accents and bits and pieces for my upcoming beach vacation. I haven’t been able to cut out all ‘big brand’ shopping (I never said I was perfect after all), but I have a feeling that the shift will start small and snowball from there as I progress through the year.

Now I want to know…What have you been loving this spring? Any new lip shades or cookbooks I should be trying? Maybe a natural haircare brand that has helped your locks ditch that dreaded winter dry-out? I’m all ears, so feel free to share in the comments below.

Remember the cool retro record cabinet we used to have? I was looking through photos to add to this post and thought I’d throw things waaaaaay back to our beloved painted cabinet. If you remember, it was a $25 vintage score from the Habitat Restore in our old hometown that, sadly, never quite fit in our new home. We just ran out of logical room for it, so I had to sell it. The good news, though, is that it found a very happy home with a local gal who seemed to really appreciate the cabinet’s refurbished retro charm.

Do you have a Craigslist piece that you regret selling? This might just be my one…Scroll on for some equally cool retro refurbish projects that I’ve come across on the web, plus a few new pieces that we’re thinking about adding to our collection.

1. I love how Brittany made-over these retro nightstands with poppy yellow paint!

2. This vintage trailer makeover might just win the prize for coolest mid-century renovation ever, though.

3. Here’s another piece of painted secondhand furniture that I wish I hadn’t sold on Craigslist.

4. You can learn how to make a new piece of furniture feel retro with this easy paint tutorial.

5. Whenever I need to brush up on the process of refreshing vintage wood, I always head back to this post via Yellow Brick Home.

6. Have you seen the new Opalhouse collection at Target? The boho textures and earthy color palette are hugely inspiring my One Room Challenge makeover right about now.

7. We’re finishing up the last big pieces of our hall bathroom renovation, and I feel like the room needs just a little more color. This mid-century inspired piece of art could do the trick.

8. I just ordered a handmade pillow from this site and can’t wait to add it to the collection on our bed.
