Abby Larson, the visionary behind local wedding blog Style Me Pretty, has just launched SMP Living, a similarly spot-on roundup of sunny home decor from her favorite local shops. Here, she suggests ways to spiff up your nest while waiting out the last vestiges of winter.
“There is nothing like springing out of that winter slumber with a really beautiful seasonal cocktail — like rosemary lemonade or a cherry-tini — mixed in a pretty, vintage-inspired Yarai glass.”
Available for preorder at thebostonshaker.com, $48.
“An easy fix to spruce up your space is a fabulous bar cart. Fill trays with cupcakes and ice-cold champagne and invite girlfriends over for a bubbly celebration. I’m particularly in love with this Palm Beach-inspired number in mint green.”
Available at hudsonboston.com, $1,690.
“Just make sure to add a touch of whimsy with Jonathan Adler’s brass muse bottle opener.”
Available at jonathanadler.com, $98.
The answer to less-than-lively bathroom decor? Glass bottles filled with hand soap from eco-outfit Caldrea. “The glass bottle is sustainable, so you can refill it time and time again with fresh scents that match the season.”

“These pillows remind me of an adventure to some fabulous beach where the sun sets in pinks and oranges, and lazy is at an all-time high.”

Bare walls are the ultimate bring-you-down. To make you smile: a vintage letterpress print that’ll prove irresistible to the Francophile set. “It has texture and age, yet the sentiment is as sweet and simple as you can get.”

“Put down your iPhone, dust off your desk, and deck it out with lovely new stationery and a crystal glass paperweight. It’s a little bit Kate Spade, a little bit Audrey, and altogether perfect.”

“Whether you add it to your bar cart, desk, or kitchen counter, or hang it on your wall as art, the painted peacock tray is a beautiful and oh-so-easy way to add a bit of spring to your style step.”

“Boston in the spring still means chilly nights. Cuddle up with a herringbone throw, and you’ll forget all about your cold toes. Best part? It’s big enough for two.”

The delicate papier-mache bowl with gold leaf interior “adds a bit of sparkle to your entry table or a pile of books. It’s simple enough to stand up to any type of decor yet has a hint of all-out glam that every space needs.”

It’s never too soon to start shopping for a brightly colored one-piece, “even if you just hang it on your door to remind yourself that there are only a few more months until bathing suit season.”

Don’t neglect your cooking cave. “Love, love, love these linen dish towels to brighten up your kitchen. Add a bowl of fresh seasonal fruit and voila — remodel unnecessary.”
