Summer color for home

I'm a girl that can appreciate a great variety of home decor, including calm, all-white interiors.  But, when it comes to my own personal style... I LOVE COLOR.  Bold brights make me happy.  I am definitely not someone that's afraid of putting color in my home.

I'm really loving all of these items... not all in one room of course ;-) These are great pops of color that range from easy-to-change items like wall art, clocks and throw pillows to more permanent items like furniture and lighting.  {shop all items by clicking thumbnails below}

TIP: Consider changing out a rug for the summer season!  Yes, it may require moving furniture and a little heavy lifting (depending on the size rug) but it could be a fantastic dose of color in any room and will change the look of your furniture and accessories because you've changed their background!  Think bold color and then add pops of that color throughout the room in your accessories and blankets and pillows.  You can even change out lamp shades to a coordinating color or pattern!  Have one rug for spring and summer and a second, more subdued color scheme and pattern for the fall and winter months.

How do you incorporate color into your home?  Pops here and there or bold statement pieces like a colored sofa or chair?

Hope you'll LIVE IN COLOR! I think it's more fun!

The sun will come out...

It's been a rainy 24 hours in Fort Worth and looks like it will be continuing most of today.  It's a nice break from the heat that has hit all too quick this year!  With the temp a tad cooler, I opted for a cute pants outfit for church and lunch yesterday.  The sun came out just in time for a super fast mini photo shoot.  

I love this shirt so much.  It's extremely lightweight and has a variety of color.  Not my usual brights or neons, but still great!  And I love how it sort of looks like watercolor brushstrokes.  It's the artist in me ;-) I paired the blouse with classic brown trousers for a softer look; I feel like the contrast of black would have been too much.  And of course a little more pattern play with the shoes and my pop of persimmon!  See, this handbag does it again!

I enjoyed a beautiful weekend with my husband and my family despite the weird weather! Hope yours was fabulous too!  Have a great week and don't forget to add some color to your wardrobe to balance out that DFW gray! Happy Monday!
