Agate:
Its everywhere in home décor lately! While you don't need a large piece of art like this, it can be bookends, standing art accents, coasters or even peel and stick wall paper!
Velvet:
Its another biggie that's been around for a few years. Large furniture like couches, coffee tables, benches and head boards are beautiful and statement pieces but you don't have to go big. Just add pillows, throws , runners or even drapes if you dare.

So what the heck is going on with this weather? Ice and snow on Easter and no higher than 40 degrees today. Oh well, what to do? Paint of course!
