Fresh Mint

The color mint looks fresh in any home design. Maybe we associate it with our love of chocolate chip ice cream. Who knows!
And it works with so many darker colors, including gold, black, blue, and orange. So add a fresh color to your home with a dash of mint!

art studio

My family has always had a passion for art. Raised by an architect father and a mother who loved painting, my sisters and I were always sketching. While my sisters were art majors, I wasn't allowed that option, since they had struggled to find jobs. After college, my work has mainly involved pr and graphic design. But I would love an art studio of my own! Who wouldn't love a private place to paint, sketch and dream?

DIY bucket of sunshine

I've seen several "boxes of sunshine" projects on Pinterest. But my family's at the beach this week, so I thought, "Why not a beach bucket of sunshine?" You can spend as much money as you want. (Hint, hint: The Dollar Store has plenty of inexpensive items to choose from.) So make a loved one's day with a summery "bucket of sunshine"!
