Happy almost-weekend, design fans! I’m Annie Selke, founder and designer of Pine Cone Hill, Dash & Albert Rug Company, and Annie Selke Home fabrics. For nearly twenty years, I’ve been searching all over the globe for the most inspiring ideas to translate into fun, functional, and fabulous bedding, rugs, sleepwear, table linens, and accessories. I also created the blog Fresh American, where you’ll find tons of tips on decorating, entertaining, shopping, cooking, travel, and more. When my good friends Tiffany and Wendy (co-founders and owners of Layla Grayce) asked me to be their guest blogger today, I was thrilled! What better place to discover fresh finds for the home than Layla Grayce?

Since we’ve got a case of the winter blahs here in the Northeast, I really want to think spring and start shopping for bright, perky products that give a generous dose of happy to the home! I started with my new Pine Cone Hill Watercolor Floral Sheets, and created a painterly palette of citrus-inspired colors—an effervescent mix of sassy shades that really makes a room sing.
