Over on Remodelista and Gardenista this week, it was all things light, bright, and breezy. (Can you tell we’re aching for summer?) We were reminded that we need to prep our homes for warm weather now—open windows, clear the clutter, and freshen up our surroundings—because come June, the outdoors will be beckoning.
