Beautiful Home Living: Using Lemons for Decoration

When using arrangements to add a pop of color to your room, think fruit in addition to flowers. A vase of bright yellow lemons or limes will add zest and energy to your space! See Color Inspiration: Citrus for more ideas if you missed it!

Bright and Beautiful Art: Marissa Vogl

Meet Marissa Vogl... I am completely in awe of her beautiful paintings, confident and strong brush strokes, and her use of color. Marissa has that unique quality of bringing a feeling of happiness to those who view her work, and from my recent conversations with her, she is just as lovely in person. I could go on and on, but her paintings speak for themselves, so enjoy!

Beautiful Living Rooms

While I was thinking about where everyone would sit in my living room for the Super Bowl, I was inspired to see where others gather, hang out, and enjoy each other's company. These living rooms are certainly inspiring with wonderful decorating ideas.
