Refreshing Your Home for Lighter Days Ahead

Late February is the point where winter starts to loosen its grip. The days feel a little longer, gardens begin to stir, and many of us feel ready to bring some life back into our homes and outdoor spaces. You do not need a full garden overhaul to mark the change of season. Small, thoughtful additions can help your space feel refreshed and ready for spring, even if you only have a windowsill, patio or small garden. Glass is particularly well suited to this transition. It reflects increasing daylight beautifully and feels light, fresh and optimistic after the heavier textures of winter.

By the end of February a lot of traditional Valentine’s gifting has quieted down, but love and meaningful connection continue every day. Not all love is romantic.
