Color Inspiration: Decorate with Lime

The color lime always lifts me up. It's refreshing, cheerful, playful and fun! It packs a punch as colorful front doors, cool boots, fresh fruit as your table centerpiece and entertaining, art prints and interior paint colors for your home...

and I love the lime bike!

A Beach Cottage in Namibia, Africa - Home Tour

I was so excited when my good friend Inge Labuschagne, owner of the best frame shop in Richmond - Frame of Mind, sent me her fabulous photos! Take a peek inside her gorgeous oceanfront condo in Swakopmund, Namibia, Africa.

Notice anything familiar? Yes, my blue crab and red crab paintings have made it all the way to Africa! Woo hoo ~

LOVE the polka dots and stripes....

and the gorgeous mosaic tile around the mirror... check out the fabulous wash basin too!

Thank you Inge for sharing your lovely condo with us. I only have one question...

When are we planning the girl's trip?

A huge thank you to CasaSugar for posting the slideshow today as well!

Beautiful Home Living: Using Lemons for Decoration

When using arrangements to add a pop of color to your room, think fruit in addition to flowers. A vase of bright yellow lemons or limes will add zest and energy to your space! See Color Inspiration: Citrus for more ideas if you missed it!

Color Inspiration: Citrus

I was thrilled to open my new Better Homes and Gardens mag and find the burst of color in the Fresh Squeeze article. They even list the palette as "Bold and Beautiful" {hmmm, where have I heard that before?}
