One of the most inspiring times of the year is happening right outside your door. The vivid colors of Spring are blooming all around us so go outside and get inspired by natures spectacular show. The most astounding thing about spring in the East, USA is the order in which the colors come to be. The curtain opens with a display of forsythia in a vibrant shade of yellow. As back up, daffodils smile towards the sun in shades of butter and gold.

Decorating a room can be easy if you take Mother Nature’s cue. Accenting a room with subtle hues is sophisticated and soothing. If Martha can do it then so can you!
Tips:
1) Choose a color from nature that you adore and use it in a rooms decor.
2) Yellow is a sure bet to lift the spirits.
3) New Spring green is a good runner up.
4) use white as a backdrop for integrating other fun colors. This works well when paired with yellow as shown in the photo above.

Last week I wore a flowered yellow and grey dress with boots. I looked like Laura Ingalls straight out of Little House on the Prairie.
I’m looking for inspiration. I want to make a yellow and white bathroom more masculine. The walls are a yellow tile on the bottom half and painted white on the top half. The vanity is also white. I’m looking around your sites for ideas to make this bathroom less femenine and more suited for my husband.
Hi Shelly,
Yellow and white are great to partner with blue. You can add accessories like towels,a toilet seat cover and rugs or even paint the top wall a light shade of perriwinkle to make the room more masculine.
