Spring has come to my dining room!

This winter, my redecorating bug was all about achieving a calm, serene look in the apartment. But now that spring is here, I want to punch it up with some serious color! I am attracted to all sorts of bright fun colors and patterns. And luckily the neutral backdrop I created doesn't preclude me from mixing it up a little bit!
I started with a super-cheap, super-practical impulse purchase at Home Goods tonight. This purple pitcher is actually acrylic, not glass, making it very easy to store. It can be used for flowers or drinks (with a good scrubbing in between!) and looks fantastic as a centerpiece. The best part - it was only $7.99! The flowers were half price after Easter, and the other accessories (runner, votive holders) were already on hand.

I love the way it looks - it brings so much color to that side of the apartment! I also got a big hot pink acrylic bowl that I'm going to swap in soon. Stay tuned for more pictures!
