Guest Picks: A Tropical Paradise at Home

I like to bring the outside in and give my home a good dose of sunshine and vitamin C this time of year. I have a screened-in porch that opens into the family room. Just by adding a few new pieces in colors inspired by the sky, sea and land, I can transform our rooms into tropical paradises. Check out some of my favorite finds that will wake up your senses and add life to your favorite spots. — Laura from Bright Bold and Beautiful
