This week was all about preparing for a possible winter storm this weekend. At the moment, the forecast looks like we may only see a few flakes or some sleet later today, but I’ve been stocking up on essentials just in case. I’m hoping we avoid heavy ice that could threaten the power grid. In brighter news, I received new lamp shades for my bedroom lamps and shared them in a recent post — a small update that made a big difference in the room’s mood. Little changes like that can refresh a space without a major overhaul.
