good morning! i’m so excited to welcome lauren from color collective to the d*s guest blog this week! yesterday lauren joined us for a special color palette post inspired by home interior photos and today she’s back with a new post on neutrals. i’m so excited to see all of the color combos she shares this week (complete with coordinating pantone numbers so you can match paint to them if you like!)- welcome, lauren!

i also wanted to share some photos from my trip home this weekend. it was so nice to get away from the city for a few days so i thought i’d share some quick shots in case anyone else needs a little visual getaway. hope you all had a great memorial day weekend!
