The latest spring color!

Two words: Mint.  Green.  I am a tiny bit obsessed at the moment.  It's always been a favorite color of mine, and it's finally found it's place in the world.  Mint is popping up everywhere right now; interiors, clothing, make up, etc.  If you love this color, try incorporating it into your space.  You can still get trendy with new popular colors without making a huge commitment.  Try a piece of furniture or accent pillows in your space as a way to introduce your new colors.  You could always do an accent wall in your favorite color, as a way to get the color into the room, without overpowering it.  Try these tips with your new favorite color, it's easy to change but you still get to enjoy your favorite colors in your space!

Get creative with things to add to your space, even frames like these could be a cool addition.

A couple of pieces done in your favorite color can be a great focal point for the room.  Keep the background neutral and light.

Try an accent wall behind the bed for a splash of your favorite color, keep everything else light and neutral.  This color is calming and relaxing.

Enjoy!

Organization Monday

Is there anything better than having a place where your family can all be on board with things going on throughout a busy week?!  Family memo boards are just the thing for a busy family on the go.  Sky is the limit with what you can include; calendars, grocery lists, memos, keys, chores, etc.  Each member can have their own board to write on each week, to help keep everyone on schedule, or you can have separate boards to highlight each aspect of your family's needs.  This can be as simple as a picture frame with a piece of scrapbook paper inside or a ready made board.  Be creative and do what will work best for your family!

In this space, each member has their own memo board with their keys hanging on a ring.  

This is family memo central!  Places for receipts, coupons, calendars, memos, etc.

Enjoy!

Design Tip Thursday:

Throw pillows, they can help pull together a room, and give it that finishing touch.  A good rule of thumb to have for throw pillows is to have a patterned one, and a simpler one.  Such as a stripe or a stripe with your focal pattern.  Keep your simpler pillows in your classic prints, such as stripes, checks, or a simple geometric pattern.  This way, all of your pillows play off of each other well.
