Today is the first day to vote for Creating With The Stars! I had such fun scheming with my amazing partner to put together a great entry. I’d love it if you could head on over and vote. All projects are anonymous, so I encourage you to just vote for your favorites.
While spring isn’t my favorite season, I do love the change it brings. After what feels like a never-ending winter there is nothing better then longer days, warmer temps and sunshine. Things just feel lighter and brighter, and I try and bring some of that into our home.
Color is a great way to do that, and lately I’ve been really inspired by yellow. I keep seeing it pop up too, everywhere from Jenny’s new chairs to inspiring images on my Instagram feed.
I wanted to incorporate some yellow in my newly refreshed office area, and some task lighting was also on the list, so when I came across this great looking lamp and some West Elm coupon codes, I couldn’t pass it up.
And I love how it picks up the tiny bits of yellow in the Orchid print.

The new lamp looks great – the perfect shot of yellow! And that teeny cactus is adorable! How I wish I had some of your plants skills. Houseplants usually don't last any longer than fresh flowers for me – so sad.

I'm loving yellow too! Jenny's yellow chairs inspired me too!

Came across your blog a couple of weeks ago, and I've been checking in every day. Love it! Thank you!
Thanks so much for reading, Sally! I appreciate your support and kind words!
commented on their blog… also just wanted to say I love your office space, I am converting a corner of my bedroom to my own space and love the way you did things, love the pink and yellow colors as well, perfect for Spring and Summer, and actually all year round for me since winter has been so darn long, those colors will serve to remind me that not everything is white or brown lol…
