In my home I operate within a fairly limited palette- mostly green, white, and black, with a little color added from my wall art. Other than the first apartment that I ever rented, where I was overcome with the sheer joy of having my own space to decorate, and therefore painted tropical murals all over everything, I've stayed within a muted palette for years. I like how peaceful whites and greens can be. That doesn't mean that I don't admire bright and colorful interiors, however.
There are many beautiful things I have to pass up because they would clash with my decor, but the people with those candy bright homes, they can buy anything and everything and not worry about if it will match! Since the weather insists on being dreary and unpleasant here in Connecticut, I thought we could all use a dose of cheery color.

| An easy way to add color to a space for relatively little money is to start up a collection of antique and vintage glassware. Pieces can often be found for under $10 at tag sales and flea markets. |
