5 ways to add a splash of citrus to your home

Who doesn't love a splash of sunshine in there home? Whether it's lemon yellow or lime green, these are happy colors! So why not add a touch of citrus to your rooms, even if its just in the laundry room  (couldn't we all use some happy in there?).
I am going to show you five ways to do it, so lets get our citrus love on!



 1. Add pops of yellow with your accessories. Yellow Lamps are easy to come by these days and are easy to change out when you are ready! (Try HomeGoods they have fun colors for great $$$)

2. Quick and cheap way to get new pillows in the color you want is to buy 20" napkins and sew 2 together and slip cover your existing pillows. (Target has a great selection)
Find a Great Yellow Fabric or Just Add Flowers

3.
Recover a tired piece of furniture with a beautiful yellow fabric to give it a fresh new look!

Citrus Spritzer
4. Fresh flowers are a great way to add a pop of color with out much committment. I love hitting the grocery store weekly for the 3 for $12. Buy like blooms and cut them in a large bunch and place is small vases around the house.

(Cool off with friends with this easy and refreshing drink! 1 part Pino Grigio, 1 part lemon/lime soda, add frozen lemon/lime slices. Enjoy!)



Use Actual Lemon and Limes

5. Lastly, and most obvious, is to use actual lemons and limes to create a great centerpiece for your table or counter tops. Gather a bunch on a tray or in a bowl. Use them to fill a series of tall glass vases to add a splash of color in the kitchen. They are inexpensive and can be used throughout the week to freshen your drinks!
