This is a sponsored post, but the words and opinions are my own. You should read to the bottom, because we’re giving away a fatty prize!
When Wayfair.com challenged me to add a pop of color to an area in my home, I was stumped. One reason is because my style is what could be kindly described as “pathetic” or “non-existent.” This distinction goes beyond my personal appearance; my visual shortcomings can be seen in my home, too. The room in our house that has the most color is my office, and that’s only because it still sports the lemon yellow walls and bright green shag rug from when it was a nursery. Four years ago. All other rooms in our house are in desperate need of a pop of color. Where do I start? In our living room, with some throw pillows?
I love these ones, and they even match my blog colors.
Or maybe some new bedding? New bedding can transform an entire room.
The exterior of my house could use some style and color, too. Aren’t these window boxes adorable?
I loved more things on Wayfair than I could possibly share here, but in the end, I couldn’t pull myself away from things having to do with food. My teapot recently died, and instead of replacing it with another white one, I am now the proud owner of a blue beauty from Rachael Ray. I paired it with fun plates from the same collection, and added napkin rings.
Because who wants to have tea at this table,
when you can have tea at this table?
After you are done admiring the cute plates and bold tea kettle, check out the cake platter. It is crazy awesome, and can be configured multiple ways. It can be a raised stand, a tray with a built-in dip bowl, or a large bowl for salads or punch. I’ve had it a week, and have already used it three ways.
Now, I wish I could have you all over for tea and those tasty Banana Bread Scones with Brown Sugar Glaze, but instead, Wayfair is giving one lucky winner a gift card worth $100!

The black ones are so classy. Just like you, my friend.
Sooooo many great choices, but how can you go wrong with color AND storage? http://www.wayfair.com/Kinfine-Upholstered-Storage-Bench-XLT1196.html
Storage space makes me all aflutter.

What perfect timing! We are moving in a few weeks and I vowed to have more color in our home. I am partial to blues and greens, and want more patterns and found this rug, which would go perfect with our new gray couch and the idea in my head for a fun family room!

I spent almost an hour looking through Wayfair’s “Shop the Look” photos of various rooms in homes and all I can say now is “Home Shit Home” perfectly describes my house. I’ve always wanted Fiesta cookware and dishes but have never been able to afford it. So if I won I would get dishes in tangerine. Love! http://www.wayfair.com/Fiesta-Cookware%C2%AE-Square-Dinner-Plate-105-919-FIE2500.html
I love Fiesta! “Home Shit Home.” Hilarious!!

What could be cuter and more summery than this ottoman? http://www.wayfair.com/Fab-Rugs-World-Tangier-Polypropylene-Cube-Ottoman-788581182-FHT1113.html
I love that pattern, and I’m crazy about orange right now.
Does my yard count as my home? Because BAM, I’ve found my new home office: http://www.wayfair.com/Algoma-Cloud-9-Hanging-Chaise-Lounger-4717-L122-K~AG1206.html
We’ll probably need to have a meeting there soon.
1. i’m jealous and want to work with Wayfair. I have a slight obsession with them. If slight means I troll their site at 4am while my shark of a daughter shreds my nipples.
2. I MUST have this: http://www.wayfair.com/Chic-Home-Glendale-8-Piece-Comforter-Set-44C-CHDE1037.html?piid%5B0%5D=10388579. After 7 years living in our home, husband and I have yet to even paint our bedroom. It’s happening this summer and the colors are grey and yellow.
3. Please rig this so I can win. Thank you.
Everyone knows the best decorating decisions happen with bloody nipples. Your home is going to be gorgeous!
