A POP of Color for Spring + a $100 Wayfair Giveaway

Living in San Diego I was fortunate not to experience the brutal winter from which my Midwest and East Coast friends are still recovering. 

However just because we don't get a real winter doesn't mean we don't appreciate spring when it finally arrives.  

Spring, like nothing else, beckons me to our outdoor spaces--particularly our master balcony.  

Only this year, when I finally got out there, I was kind of underwhelmed.  Don't get me wrong, I love my balcony.  However, several years after purchasing our outdoor furniture, it was starting to look a little sad.  

And brown.  

Very, very brown.

Well, brown and green, but still not very exciting which is why I was so pleased when Wayfair.com invited me to participate in their "Pop of Color Campaign".

The premise?  Add a pop of color to any space in your home using up to $100 worth of Wayfair merchandise.  (Can you guess where I decided to use it?)

Now $100 is a very generous stipend, but it wasn't going to buy me a new patio set.  Therefore I decided to jazz up my existing furniture with decorative accessories in bright colors and fun patterns.

My first stop was in the outdoor pillow "department" where I was immediately drawn to these fun, city-themed pillows.  Having lived in all of the locations represented below, these were very tempting indeed.  I was so glad that Wayfair.com allows you to "favorite" items because it enabled me to "wander" the site without worrying that I would never find them again.

From pillows I moved on to outdoor rugs where I seriously considered spending the whole budget on this great geometrical piece:

The only thing that stopped me was my decision to move away from the blues and greens.  I figured if I was going to do this thing, I was really going to do it, so I started exploring more vibrant colors such as reds and oranges.

I briefly considered dressing up the side table with a little tray and/or a faux flower arrangement and tossing a throw blanket over the cushions (for chilly evenings on the balcony).

And in the end, I did go with a throw, but a solid one in a sumptuous orange chenille.  Technically it's not an outdoor blanket but I will keep it in a little basket in my room when it's not being put to use outside.

I paired it with this pillow and I am o-b-s-e-s-s-e-d!

The pattern is so bright and fun; I definitely achieved my goal of livening the place up, don't you agree?

Now I know what you're thinking, "Why does she have all the luck?  Why can't I get $100 to spend at Wayfair?"  Well settle down friend, because now it is your turn.  Wayfair has generously offered to provide one of my lucky readers with a $100 gift card to their amazing site.  Simply follow the directions in the Rafflecopter link below (be sure to link to a Wayfair product in your comment) and you too can add a pop of color to your space!
