Welcome to Country Proud Living "Where Nurturing Spaces Empower Your Life and Everyday Feels a Little More Like Home." 

If you’ve been craving a fresh start—but you don’t want a full home overhaul—this episode is your gentle, hopeful reset. LoriLynn shares simple, designer-approved ways to use spring color to brighten your home and your mood through small accents, lighter layers, and nature-inspired touches. Because color isn’t just a design choice… it’s a signal to your nervous system that a new season is here. 

In this episode:

  •  Why color = mood (and how it can help life feel lighter fast) 
  •  The easiest way to add color without repainting: textiles + small styling shifts 
  •  A designer formula that always works: 60/30/10 for a balanced palette 
  •  Where to place color so it actually changes your day (beds, sofas, entries, tables, bathrooms) 
  •  “Living color” ideas: tulips, branches, herbs, greenery—nature’s instant mood boost 
  •  LoriLynn’s spring pick: soft butter yellow (sunshine-in-a-color)
