Guest Post / Lily + Rachel, Birch + Bird:

Nothing’s quite as refreshing as cold lemonade on a hot summer day and it’s our humble opinion that the right splash of yellow can be equally invigorating in home decor. From the sunny tidbits we’ve followed here on Oh Hello Friend, we think it’s safe to assume that Danni feels the same way too! Summertime always feels like the perfect time to play with colour and add some bold touches to our own homes. Pillows, art and flowers are great ways to ease over to the bright side without long term commitment. No need to break the bank either...Etsy is one of our favourite sources for affordable art prints and we’ve found many a knick knack at the local thrift stores just begging for a fresh lick of spray paint! And you can never go wrong with fresh flowers from the farmer’s market or even from your own backyard. Wishing you all plenty of sunshine in your day and thanks so much for inviting us by for a visit, Danni! -Lily + Rachel
