Each spring, designer Jan Showers invites all her Round Top-bound friends over to her Hillsboro, Texas for a classic spring luncheon. Wildflowers flourish in pretty garden pots and lettuceware (Tory Burch) on the antique dining table. “I love simple florals like daisies in the spring and early summer,” notes the designer.

Pastels have their place in every season, but in springtime, the muted shades sing. Pierre Paulin-style Z chairs in soft greens and blues paired and a colorful abstract enliven the living room at Janie Jones' Birmingham cottage.
