Gosh, it’s been miserably gray at the beach lately. Gray May/June Gloom is a real thing, and it’s starting to wear on my mood. You know the saying, ‘When Life Gives You Lemons…’ Well, inspired by lemonade, I’m making us our very own sunshine this week. Sometimes, I find it helps to lift my mood with something as simple as putting out a fresh bowl of lemons (even better when my neighbors leave out their freshly picked extras with a ‘free’ sign) or some fresh flowers like the crazy cheap Daffodils Trader Joe’s has an abundance of right now. Just a smidge of yellow can go a long way to perk your home up—a pretty ceramic pitcher or vase—I even love the idea of a funky yellow home appliance (love this vintage juicer). Or add some cheerful artwork, like the paintings of Fabienne Meyer (just above) as photographed by Herz & Blut (do go visit her tour of Fabienne’s beautiful home), or this amazing vintage fish painting below from Clotilde Dell’Aria. You get the idea—but if not, here are a few more thoughts on yellow.
