Creating a dedicated family room has been a top priority for our growing family. When we first enclosed our lanai, I imagined a split layout: half home office for me, half playroom for our then three-year-old son.

My dreams of a dedicated home office in that space were happily replaced with a fun, laughter-filled family for everyone to enjoy.

As the days get longer and the world bursts back into color during the Spring season, it's the perfect time to bring that energy indoors and refresh your living space. This post is all about the simple ways to infuse your home with touches of spring.
