It has never left my world, and there will always be those that stick to neutrals, which make beautiful rooms, but this girl has to have happy Spring-like color in her life.

Even in a neutral room we are starting to see pops of color added in accessories. We all know that adding color in our accessories is the quickest and least expensive pick-me-up for a room

I don't normally advertise on my blog, but from time to time I find a product that I really love, and I will always share it with my readers.

Recently I received an email from Lamps Plus showing me a new program they have at their stores and online. It is called...

I was immediately impressed with all the options this program gives the homeowner when choosing a lamp for their home.

Just look at all the color choices there are for lamp bases, it looks like you are visiting a paint store display of color chips, doesn’t it?

You will notice many of the colors are from Pantone and Sherwin Williams.

It looks like Lamps Plus has made it easy for us to match, and coordinate our lamps to our rooms in our homes.

It doesn’t stop with just the lamp base they also offer lampshades to go with their lamp bases……

Shall we start with Pantones color of the year?!

EMERALD

Yes! they have a lamp base in this actual color!!

This lamp base is just one of three styles you can choose from, they even have a floor lamp base.

Notice the fun, current patterned shade that matches? You can get plain white, or three other patterns to choose from….

I was so impressed by this program at Lamps Plus, I had to share it with my readers.

I know this is going to be a very successful program for not only them but all of us designer types that want the perfect colored lamp base to go in our rooms.

Be sure and go over to their website and have fun playing with all the different combinations available!

I Think I Am Going To Be, "IN THE PINK! "

Happy First Day of March!!

It is an amazing day today. The sun is shining, birds singing, trees blooming with pink, and white blooms.

All the hills surrounding my house are the most beautiful Spring Green.

Yes, I think Spring is pushing it’s way into our lives, and I love it.

I love March!! It is the month I was married, and this year we get to celebrate Easter in March.

At Christmas time I started pinning inspiration pictures for this years Easter table. I know, crazy, huh?

I saw one particular image that caught my attention, and that was kind of a jumping off point for me.

You all know I am not a DIYer, but these caught my eye. I love the dipped gold bases.

After seeing these I started looking at what color I like to see with Gold and this came to mind….
