Guest Picks: Spring Tree Motifs
20 twists on tree patterns that will bring the beauty of the outdoors inside
It's the start of spring, when the cherry blossoms are blooming and the trees start coming back to life. It's easy to think of trees as a design element that's typecast for Christmas decorations, but with the right twist of simplicity and color trees can be a part of your home year-round. It's an evergreen motif, so to speak. — Jen from The Haystack Needle
