FOR SPRING: THE BUMBLEBEE

Yellow is summer sweet; black is a bit of a sting. The striped contrast of the bumblebee is a spring sign of both, and it's equal parts softness and daring when designing a room.

As it happens, I'm not designing anything right now, seeing as how I'm still moving/lacking most of my furniture. I'm also not decorating with black and yellow, but for some reason, I have rather a lot of it laying around. So I piled it all in one place (hoping against hope that it would resemble a couch). And then I went in search of other, better-composed palettes.

A pile of similarly colored items in my apartment.
