Colorful Happy Home. I'm sharing my love of color through DIY projects in decorating, crafts, recipes and lifestyle to help YOU have a more colorful life!

Colorful Happy Home

Hello! I had a bit of an epiphany about my life and my blog and I am so excited to share it!! When I started blogging I never imagined that I would be blogging daily almost nine years later. I can say with all sincerity that blogging saved my life. I started blogging because I was lonely and what I found is an AMAZING community of lovely, beautiful people who share my love of creating. I’ve found life-long friends and so much more!

Colorful Happy Home

As I went through my divorce I went through a super difficult time and I lost my joy for creating. I was just trying to survive one day at a time. Over the past year as we’ve moved and we have started healing, I feel like I am starting to feel alive again. I kind of lost who I was as I was going through such a difficult time. I also realized that mean comments and negativity can only hurt me if I let them. Strong women build each other up and that is the community I want to be a part of and help contribute toward. I did some soul searching and realized that I missed the COLORFUL happy home I had created with my family.

One of the things that really makes my heart sing is COLOR. I think we love our new community because it’s so COLORFUL. Creating a COLORFUL home has always made me happy and over the past nine years I’ve loved sharing COLORFUL projects on the blog.

Colorful Happy Home. I'm sharing my love of color through DIY projects in decorating, crafts, recipes and lifestyle to help YOU have a more colorful life! I was talking a couple of weeks ago with a friend and saying that I felt like I lost touch with what my “style” is. She said – your style is COLOR. And of course – she was right.

COLOR is what makes me happy and always has.

And it makes so much sense since we live in a community based on COLORFUL homes, I am embracing COLOR in my life again. Last week I made a COLORFUL Spring sign for my porch:

Colorful Happy 3-dimensional spring sign. Make a bright and happy sign for your home.

    I really liked this post 🙂 a few years ago, I went through a really dark time in my life. It took a couple of years to recover, but when I did… everything seemed brighter and happier. Glad you found your rainbow!

    Tired of all the quiet grey around us? I still love it (on walls) but am with you in adding happy color touches.
    Love the sign you made, so happy, so different. 🙂

    Such a beautiful home, Jen! Love the colours, such a beachy feel. I could just imagine making the top room my home office. It definitely wouldn’t feel like work 🙂
