Guest Post: Erin of Design for Mankind

If there's one thing dear Ez has taught me throughout her years at Creature Comfort, it's the power of color. Unexpected color palettes should be celebrated and experimented with to create fun, playful environments. So, in honor of dear Ez and her love for color, I'll be sharing a few of my favorite colors (and corresponding products, of course!) that can be mixed and matched in all sorts of ways to inspire your life --- and home! Enjoy!

Guest Post: Color Crush - Pale Yellow + Ice Blue

Hello everyone! This is Ange from Lushlee. I'm happy to be here today to guest post for Ez, whose blog has been my wonderful source of design inspiration.  I've always enjoyed Ez's Color Crush features, and will be sharing with you my latest color obsession today. Pale yellow and ice blue, a beautiful combination that I discovered by chance, after stumbling upon this gorgeous ruffled shower curtain. I just love the iciness of the blue and the coolness of the yellow, which makes me think of sipping a cold lemonade by the bluest water. I can't wait for the temperature to get warmer to do just that!

• Shireen Dress - Calypso
• Summer Sky Necklace - Anthropologie

D.I.Y. Repurposed Book Page Wreath

This wonderful DIY Repurposed Book Page Wreath from the  Living with Lindsay blog would make the perfect gift for the lover of all things shabby chic.  Vintage appeal makes it suitable for hanging in the home all year round...and imagine how pretty it would be with a soft dusting of luminescent glitter on the outer edges of each page!  Enjoy!  xo Ez
