I swear, the first warm day of the year, and suddenly everyone has a little extra pep in their step. Myself included. I didn’t realize just how much I needed the sunshine until it hit my face, and now I find myself remembering; this is why I love living somewhere with seasons. The change, the shift, the fresh energy that comes with it.

note: my spring shop has been updated too!

Spring always makes me want to hit the reset button. There’s something about the world waking up outside that makes me want to do the same; refreshing little corners of my home, swapping out heavier layers for something softer, and just leaning into that feeling of lightness.

Nothing major, nothing drastic, just small changes that reflect the season and, honestly, my mood. A new scent in the air, a fresh pop of colour, a piece or two that makes everyday routines feel a little more special. It’s the little things that make all the difference.

Just as the days stretch a little longer and the first blooms start to peek through, I have the loveliest spring desktop wallpaper to share. Painted by my dear friend, the incredibly talented Sarah Konyer, this dreamy garden scene is the perfect refresh for your screen; soft greens, delicate florals, and that light-filled feeling that makes you want to throw open the windows.

If you’ve been here for a while, you know how much I love sharing Sarah’s work. Her pieces always bring a little extra beauty to the everyday, and this one feels especially fitting as we welcome the shift from winter to spring. So, if you’re ready to brighten up your tech with the prettiest spring desktop wallpaper, download it for free below.

My love for all things Studio Mcgee is no secret. So when I stumbled upon their new spring home decor collection, it was all I could do not to stop and stare. They have this uncanny ability to keep their finger on the pulse of timeless yet fresh design, and their latest pieces are of no exception.

Whether it’s a beautifully textured throw or the perfect vase for spring blooms, McGee & Co. is always one of the first places I go when sourcing for clients. Their attention to detail and effortless style make them a constant source of inspiration.

While this isn’t a sponsored post (I wishhhh!), I couldn’t resist sharing in case you’re on the hunt for a little refresh. I’ve already added a few things to my cart and bookmarked more for upcoming projects. If you’re as smitten with Studio McGee’s vibe as I am, this new collection is a must-see (my favourite pieces below <3).

So we’re just going to brush right past the fact that it snowed on the first day of Spring last week. I mean, getting into “spring refresh” mode is a mindset more than anything else anyway. Because despite the lingering chill (and mini snow piles still dotting our yard) I can’t help but feel that sunshine and warmth is imminent. The lengthening days are noticeable (it was still bright after I put my daughter to bed last night!) And I’m convinced everyone is friendlier – a little pep in people’s steps.

Whether I’m imagining it or not, I’m embracing it wholeheartedly, and have the overflowing shopping carts as proof. As I eagerly anticipate the season’s full bloom, I’ve been lusting after a few things to give my home (and closet) a little spring refresh. There’s something about a few simple touches that helps breathe new life into everything. So, without further ado, here are a few of the beautiful things I’m currently loving at the moment.
