Springing Forward at Patina Polished Living

Style
Written By Amanda Mertins

When daylight saving time arrives, we move our clocks ahead an hour and suddenly the days feel a little brighter. The evenings are longer and I feel ready for a change.

Spring has always been the season of renewal, and the time change is a gentle reminder that shifting things a little can be a good thing. We somehow made it through the snow and ice and now it’s time to look around your home with fresh eyes. Try some new tabletop pieces, a different piece of art on the wall and décor that make you smile.

At Patina Polished Living, we see it every day—how one thoughtfully chosen object can brighten a room and spark inspiration for the season ahead.

Daylight saving time gives us an extra hour of evening light. Spring gives us the perfect excuse to use it well!

Patina Polished Living was created 10 years ago by friends Amanda Mertins and Kimberly Weiler. 

Amanda Mertins was born in Ohio and graduated the University of Maryland with a degree in Economics. She started moving and editing furniture and accessories while in grade school and hasn’t stopped since. She enjoys baking desserts and playing with her grandchildren.

Kim Weiler was born in Pennsylvania and graduated the University of the Arts with a degree in graphic design. Upon graduating, she was immediately hired by one of her professors at the Katz Wheeler Design firm. She loves design, gardening, sweet tea and all French bulldogs.

Amanda and Kim are excellent complements to one another-one could even say the Yin and Yang of design. Being very different people but with interconnected forces is the reason their partnership continues to flourish.
