The Spring 2014 Color Report has been released by Pantone - and those colors go far beyond just fashion. They are the colors of Spring that will work really well with home decor and accents. Country Living has a wonderful feature about using these colors and great design tips...check it out here.
Over the past few weeks I have captured some inspirational photos either while out and about, or right around my home, that I feel capture the look of Spring that I will be going for.
Keep in mind that Spring is a time to play around with colors and patterns that you may not have used before or that you haven't seen in some time. One of my favorite interior designers, Sarah Richardson, does an amazing job showcasing the use of pattern and color in her "Cottage" series. Below are just two sample photographs of ways that she incorporates that Spring feeling through the use of fabric, color and pattern:

Lastly, if you're anything like me, the void of not having a garden to tend to is driving you mildly insane. So - try starting some small potted plants with herbs to give you the look and feel of being outside, even though it's still too cold to garden. These herbs will come in handy when cooking and will give you a look of greenery in the kitchen. Check out these really cool samples of herb gardens I found online:
