Welcome to our spring homes issue—where we dive into the latest trends in interior and exterior design, share inspiration on how to make your house a home and explore the opportunities of a new abode. I took tips from home experts, including Kim Boothe of Willow Lane
Interior Design and Sarah Olsen from Merriment Interior Design. On
page 20, Boothe shares how she incorporates texture and color into homes
to create a comfortable and chic environment. Boothe also touches on how
personal taste and trends might not work together. Next, I looked toward the colorful home that we feature. In this local home, designed by Olsen and her team, pretty pinks, magentas and bright blues partner with lively patterns and pieces with character. Readers, I encourage you to take a look around, and see how your home plays off your personality. Hopefully, you will find a reflection of yourself in your humble abode.
