Inspiring Me Now: Color! (Or Colour! for my Canadian Friends)

So far, it’s been a pretty dreary spring. The pool is supposed to open this weekend, but I’m seriously doubting that the weather will be good enough–argh! I’m dying to get a little sun on my skin (with SPF 50 of course!) and a little color in my life. I’m craving color and came across some easy and affordable ideas for injecting it into your home…

Switch up your head chairs with a colorful metal one–these are available

Speaking of turquoise chairs, love this idea as a cheap way to add color to your home–hit up the thrift store for a bunch of cheap chairs and paint them all the same fun color

A simple white kitchen gets a splash of color with these different colored stools. Want to try this? Head to your local thrift store and find some old matching stools and get out that spray can–super easy weekend project. Those stools Amy and I found in Michigan last weekend would be perfect for this!

Bring color into your bedroom with a painted mirror–this one by blogger Emily Clark for her daughter’s room was found at a hotel surplus store and painted pink (Madeleine would love this one!)

One of my favorite ways to bring color into my house during the summer, is to switch up the rugs. Dash & Albert is a fave in high traffic areas for their bright colors and durability
