Inspiration came today from this dreary February weather and the wonderful image below from One Kings Lane. I am longing for some color. What about you? Adding little pops of color to your home is easy to achieve, and they can make a big statement. Not to mention what they can do for your happiness quotient! So when Winter skies dim your view, make sure things are sunny side up inside.
