I love color and I love pattern. Bright, bold, vivid … it all makes me so happy and I love to incorporate color and pattern into my home decor and, really, into every aspect of my life. I’m smitten with Marimekko {and even moreso after seeing all the amazing new items at Target} and I love some of the DIY Marimekko projects I’ve seen popping up on social media and on pinterest. I’m ready to break out the fabric, the paints, or both, and tackle some of these incredible projects! Click on the links below to see all the details of your favorites!
