We had two beautiful days this week and the tulips and other green things are starting to sprout so now all I can think of is spring. When is spring?! It’s only February, but I hope soon. But Ikea knows what’s on my mind because they announced some of their spring/summer products. That news and a few other items are in this week’s Friday Faves.

Spring, Where Art Thou?

Basically, every single hanging light Ikea plans to release for spring/summer I want hanging in our backyard, starting with these solar-powered “paper” lanterns that I hope to hang wherever possible.

Mid-Century Modern on My Mind

I think I’m supposed to be living in Southern California. Mid-Century Modern design is my happy place, so is year-round beach weather and the facade of a stress-free life. The West Coast has the greatest inventory of MCM homes and is being celebrated right now during Modernism Week, a kind of big to-do in Palm Springs. It’s happening right now and ends this weekend. More details here.

Still not sure what Mid-Century Modern exactly entails? Get Clever, part of Architectural Digest, has a helpful breakdown of what it is and what to look for when shopping for it.

Looking to shop for your home this weekend? Get Clever has a rundown of stores with home sales happening. I know I’ll be checking a few out myself!

Speaking of discounts, are you in the market for a new mattress? Last week, I posted about how taking care of a few little things around the house can give such satisfaction, including finally getting a new mattress that took very little effort on our end. We got a Leesa and if you’d like to explore a Leesa, you can get a discount by using our referral link here.

Happy weekending!
