Update old frames with a coat of high gloss spray paint in a bright color. If you have multiple frames, create a photo collage. For high impact, paint all the frames the same color or choose two contrasting colors such as pink & orange, aqua & yellow, lime green & lavendar.


For a fun weekend project, go to a beach or garden and take photos of things that inspire you like flowers, butterflies, the ocean, sea shells, etc. Print them and frame them in your freshly painted frames.

Create a bold, colorful arrangement with things you already own. Go through  your home and create a collection of items that are the same color. Place your collection in a prominent area like a mantel, foyer entry table or console.

Decorate with fruit. Not only will your arrangements be simple, organic and beautiful, they will also have a wonderful aroma and are a healthy snack.


 My favorite fruits for decorating are apples, oranges, tangerines and lemons.

Replace your dated, unappealing fans with these fun, colorful options.
