I loved this kitchen makeover featured on The Lettered Cottage. The wall bins came from Home Goods — such a useful find!

The texture of succulents against white milk glass is so fresh. Nesting Place shared this lovely, budget-friendly idea.

This spring makeover from A la Mode is beautiful — I especially like the twigs in the urn and the ribboned, floral pillow. That post led me to another great resource below.

Creatively Dreaming shared a fresh spring bathroom makeover — delightful colors and accessories that brighten the space.

More great links I found this week:

You can find these and other inspiring ideas on my Inspiring Finds Tumblr.

Before we continue with this week’s Beautiful Life links, I want to invite you to an online women’s conference. I’ll be speaking there and I think it will be a wonderful week of inspiration from many women sharing their stories. I hope you’ll consider attending part or all of it. You don’t even have to dress up — jammies are fine!

Have you been noticing the beauty in small details, the ordinary and the extraordinary?

I think of you often. These are tough financial times for many of us, so there’s no better moment to seek the beauty we can find.

I love this line from a fellow “A Beautiful Life” blogger:

Quote of the week: “I am blessed and today I will do everything in my power to remember that!”

Need more inspiration?
