Guest Picks: Winter Blues

In my house, January is the calm after the storm. The pace is slower, but the days can be long. After the holiday decorating overload, I think nothing is more appealing than a crisp, clean space. And incorporating the color blue into your decorating scheme evokes that calm, serene feel. Blue can blend into a neutral background or it can be used as a cheerful pop of color. Other colors may come and go with the trends, but blue remains steadfast and classic. Embrace the blues this winter season with the help of these fantastic products. — Erin from Two Story Cottage
