Now that we have hopped into Easter, the snow is finally gone and it's is beginning to look a lot like summer is going to be here sooner than later....I thought I would leave you with a few ideas and inspirations for the weekend.
I love working with the color white and adding accents, nothing feels more cozy and relaxing than a white palette with accents colors. Since we are in spring for those who like the spring colors I thought I would show you examples of decorating with the white.
White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection. White means safety, purity, and cleanliness. As opposed to black, white usually has a positive connotation. White can represent a successful beginning. In heraldry, white depicts faith and purity. Hence the photo's shown below, they create purity and relaxation. Now by adding color it brings character and boldness to the room which normally highlights the accents in the room.
Notice how by using black accents create a focal point in the room, the room does not feel heavy and the yellow color is not over bearing.
l love surprises and nothing says more when your actions speak louder than your words, if you have kids then this weekend after the Easter Egg Hunt surprise them with cupcakes, cookies and some lovely fruit punch. If your spouse has to work try to get the kids off to bed, and if there are no kids involved then set a side some chocolate Easter egg and some champagne and curl up on the couch for a movie night. Just because it's Easter it doesn't that adults can't have fun to.
Until Tuesday.......................Happy Easter!

If you are not one to take chances why not use color as an accent, there are over 100 different shades of white so why not do one wall in the color you like or better yet find accent pillows or area rugs that reflect the true you. Remember you might work 8-10 hours per day but don`t forget how long it might take you to get ready in the morning not to mention your travel time to and from work everyday, so my suggestion is make your home your palace so that when you get home you relax the minute you open your front door.
Fashion does not just have to be clothing, why not give your home a make over, create a list of rooms, spaces thatr you would like to fashionize and take it one at a time. I usually recommend that you start with the exterior and work your way thru the home as if you were a vistor. Remember curb appeal is always an excellent welcoming sign. Visit home depot or lowes for quick, easy and cost efficitive DIY ideas, because before you know it fall will be here.
