color me pretty.

happykath.

it was so bright and cheery this weekend in san francisco, it put me in the mood for color! my own house is in need of a dash of something bright, so i checked out the sfgirlbybay flickr group for some inspiration from y’all on how i might add some splashes of color here and there. fresh flowers and vintage accessories, or a piece of thrifted furniture are always an inexpensive and easy way to go, until you’re ready for a big commitment to color. here’s a peek at a few ideas.
