Temperatures are on the rise, which has my mind (and palate) already satiating over watermelon and jalapeno– infused margaritas, my dad’s homegrown tomatoes, and dill potato salad. I’m imagining my kids running around the backyard half-naked, blowing bubbles and splashing around in the blowup kiddie pool that’s sure to drown our grass—but after the year we’ve had, it’s well worth it! These are the things that are good for my senses and even better for my soul. As restrictions are lifting and life as we once knew it slowly becomes recognizable, it’s as if the gray film that’s been covering our eyes’ lens has been peeled back and we can now see in color again. What better way to celebrate than with an issue dedicated to living colorfully? We’ve put together a lineup of beautiful home projects, products, and more that offer up a feast for the eyes and showcase designs that span the spectrum. From vivacious and effervescent shades to soft and delicate hues, this issue packs a serious punch that’s sure to wow. Those brighter days we’ve been hoping, wishing, and praying for are here. So go ahead and taste the rainbow!
