That’s a toss up-the room with my yarn, or my living room, which is covered in brightly colored legos, bristle blocks, matchbox cars….

First of all, those glass jars full of yarn is a Brilliant idea. I am so stealing it. I plan on going to the huge charity rummage sale in a few weeks here to search out any glass jars with lids.

As for spring, here in the northeast we finally have sunny weather and temps in the 60′s. So the most colorful space is currently every window looking out at all the different cherry trees and forsythia and daffodils in bloom. Hopefully it won’t warm up too fast and the blooms will last.

My bedroom has the brightest color in the house (burgundy), but it’s so one-note it could use some accents of complementary color here and there. Too bad that’s not my strong suit.

Our bedroom is the most colorful place in the house– inspired by bright colored throw pillows from Pier 1. Love your couch pillows!

The yarn closet is the most colorful place in the house, then there is the garage where there are containers of yarn that has wonderful color.

I was clearly distracted when I wrote my first comment, sorry. I love your antique Mason jars of buttons! (Yes, I really do know the difference between yarn and buttons.) And, I love antique buttons, too. I got my Grandma’s (father’s mom’s) button box. When my Mom past, I got my Mom’s buttons, too. She was a real antique lover, too. And I also like your tall jars of yarns on your mantle, to add luscious colors to your home! I’m sorry I was partially distracted when I wrote the first one. I knew I had to get it done before my special needs son was due home from school on the bus, in less than 20 mins, oops.

Color? With all the rain the Pacific Northwest has been receiving, I’m not sure I know what to look for! Spring has attempted to arrive but the temperatures are sticking in the low to mid 50s and we still have the chance of frost in the mornings. The daffodils are probably the brightest colors going outside but the tulip buds are coloring up too. Inside, I do have some ruby red tones near the knitting chair (socks in progress).

At my house it’s the spinning, weaving and reading that are taking a rest so I can work on the stash room

Most colorful spot? Probably my dining room at the moment, where I have a bunch of yarn and fabric camping out, much to my mother’s chagrin. Workin’ on that. I’m in the process of adding color and changing colors, though. We’ve been in our house over 30 years, and it’s just TIME. New paint, away with the wall paper, new window coverings, and after we teach the cats not to use the living room sofas as scratchy posts when they’re happy to see me, then reupholster the living room furniture. Yep. Just a little remodeling work going on.

Ooohhhhh, I do love your antique Mason jars filled with yarns! Are those one of your antique store finds? I also love your crocheted pillow. I may have to crochet one for myself, in colors more suited to me! Those are great ideas! I need to add some color to our home now, for spring and summer. Part of ours will be in new pink silk flowers, which I love. (I just have to keep them out of reach of my Lhasa Apso girl, who loves to strip the flowers off the stems, the crazy girl!)

And, since today is my birthday, I just may have to treat myself to some wonderful pink yarn! I’ve been on a very strict yarn diet because of our budget, but I’m feeling in need of pink right now!
