Pastels Vs Bright Colors For Spring

Posted on by

Are you team pastels or team bright colors when it comes to refreshing your home for Spring?

Some folks like the softer, feminine hues of pastels, others prefer the bright almost neon and citrus hues for their spring décor.

Decorating for the seasons is a wonderful way to keep things fresh and interesting in your home. Just adding some colorful pillows, lamps, accessories and fresh flowers is enough to bring the look to life.

I put together some Polyvore boards to help you see the possibilities of accenting with color – whether pastels or brights.

Let’s start with the pastel board. Could you see these colors in your home?

Spring Has Sprung!

Posted on by

I got up today to a dreary, overcast Monday morning here in Houston. If I didn’t know better, I would have no idea that Spring has sprung.

Well that was until I drove up to my design studio…….

What awaited me was the most beautiful burst of Spring I have seen in a long time……..

My Azalea bushes! They blossomed so beautifully just over the weekend!

Oh how I marvel at God’s beautiful creation!

When I first signed the lease in October of last year to my 1905 Victorian, the landscaping looked like a waste land. One driveway later (which I hired out) and laying 2 pallets of sod (1000sf), and planting 15 azalea bushes and 8 knock-out rose bushes (all by myself), I am pretty proud of my landscape. One day I will share those before and during pictures with you (fire ants attack and all), but for now, I wanted to focus on my beautiful azaleas.

I couldn’t help myself but to pick a few buds and bring them inside…….

These little bud vases are actually salt and pepper shakers that I purchased at the Dollar Store for $1 each. I had planned to spray paint them white, but I actually really like the ribbed effect of the glass. So I’ll leave them as is

TIP: This is a great way to bring some Spring into your home for almost free! Look around your kitchen for small glasses that you no longer use and use them as bud vases for roses, hydrangeas, and of course azaleas.

I especially love white roses in small bud vases….even when they dry out, they are still beautiful and make a great dried arrangement.

Even my weekly planner looks attractive with this arrangement on my desk :-)

And believe me, It is pretty scary when you open it :-)

Look at how well the pink azaleas complement my business cards :-) That totally was a happy accident!

Even my Ikea étagère looks great with a bud.

I will definitely be enjoying the views of my azalea buds all throughout the studio today. Makes for a happy work day! Don’t you think?
