Here is a little bit of inspiration from some items on Minted that you can purchase right now. I took the style and feel of the Insta Film holiday card and included artwork that evokes that same modern and warm feel. A palette like this can make any room feel more open and airy, as well as fresh and earthy. They are whimsy and fun, yet make a space relaxing and calm. Enjoy!

Soon the cool weather will be gone and before you know it, spring will be knocking at your door. Now is the time to start thinking of how to welcome the season in your home as well as showcasing its beauty on the outside. Curb appeal is an important thing to consider when you have a home. Creating an inviting entrance and beautiful exterior can make all the difference sometimes.
There are many easy and affordable ways to jazz up the exterior of your home. Most of all, you want to complement the architecture and design of the house. You can do this by considering its colors, size, details, and all the elements that stand out. Nature is not only a huge inspiration, it is what will give your home sweet home a fantastic makeover. Flowers, shrubs, trees, and other natural materials like brick, stone, and wood, are all great examples of what to use.
Here are some great inspirations to get you moving. Enjoy!
