Color Changes Everything

I can't help but feel an itch for spring with Target's NEW Color Changes Everything commercial.  What makes you wish for warm weather?

This playful bar cart paints the picture of spring with lemon soda, daffodils and pastel ping pong balls.  If this tasteful green trellis wallpaper doesn't evoke the perfect southern parlor I don't know what does.  Photo from Isabella & Max Rooms blogspot.

A Valentines Inspired Buffet

 

Last weekend I hosted a dinner party and used these long stem Pink Carnation vases as my centerpiece.  This week, they've inspired me to create a Valentines themed vignette.  

 

I love using flowers that are all one color or similar in color to make arrangements.  I've also found I like the strong contrast of pink or red against a real masculine blue.

 

I used a coastal white lantern and modern vase to balance out the rustic feel of the Regina Andrew table lamps.  The "Lovely" burlap bunting is something I've had inspired by Etsy. - XXO
