On one of my lunchtime walks I came across this large, old oak tree and saw the perfect inspiration for my next post. The brown trunk is a natural neutral, and the green leaves add a pop of color that draws the viewers eyes upwards. Simple, everyday photos are often the best kind to use in decorating. Why? They’ll go with nearly everything! No matter if your color scheme is black and white, pastels, monochromatic, metallics, or brights, nature-based photos will always blend in. Can’t find an old-growth tree like the one pictured to the right? Using a photo of a favorite or nearby tree will allow you to achieve this look. Now’s the perfect time to go outside and snap a few photos that will allow you to quickly, and easily, update your space!

Mixed Metals Rock
Most people think that you shouldn’t mix various metals together. If done right, it can look awesome! The key? Use mixed metals sparingly. Instead of decorating an entire room in gold and silver, use an object (or a few objects) in a limited space. The Frog Prince I have pictured is a great addition to my bookshelf or dresser. You can even add a small group of mixed metal objects to a location of your choice. Maybe four or five small vases or other objects on a table or shelf. Don’t like silver and gold? Try the same thing with metallics in your favorite colors-you can find them at your local craft or big box store.
