Spring Neutrals

I just completed my first, full New England winter. What I’m learning is early spring is less about the vivid pastels I typically associate with it and more about the transition from the melting snow to the exposed earth to (soon!) full color. In honor of the soil and the miraculous home it makes for the flowers to come, I’m doing this piece on spring neutrals for the home. Join me in appreciating the warm, earthy tones of spring and fleeting moment of transition… it only makes what comes next more special! XO, L
