Easily Distracted by Bright Colors and Shiny Objects

Does this ever happen to you?

You're walking around HomeGoods

and you spot a pillow, or a lamp, or a rug...

something that sparks an idea

Soon, you're designing a whole room around this piece

except, it matches NOTHING in your house

and would involve a complete over-haul

I'm craving color in my life!

So I go home, empty handed, to ponder

But when I get home, I realize I really love my rooms

Yep, they are neutral and soft

but it's soothing

and so, I do nothing...

until it happens again...and again. 

Clearly, I'm drawn to color!

Today, I stopped in to a little shop to check out rugs for a client

and there, on the rug rack, ON SALE, was this:

Too bad it's got that yellow on it, I said to myself

The design is gorgeous, the grey is wonderful, 

it even has the creamy white I want

I kept looking at rugs, and then I found this one:

It's pretty, but I don't love the black...

I kept going back to the yellow and grey one

Which of course, got me thinking!

Why not? My living room walls are pale grey, 

my couch, chair, and ottoman are cream

everything else is either grey, cream, white, or wood

Some hits of yellow might be a refreshing change!

I can visualize a few new pillows with yellow in them

added to my already-too-many existing collection

 I especially LOVE this idea...

I'd trade the burlap for softer linen

but it's cute and whimsical and perfect

 I do love Cherry Blossoms

Maybe a bit of yellow here or there

by way of fresh flowers

I'm even pondering repainting this piece yellow!

Crazy or Genius?  

That remains to be seen, I guess!
