Is it just me or does winter weather turn sour about this time of year? I am just tapping my fingers waiting for spring to appear. To speed up the process I love to add a little sunshine to my kitchen and home after Valentines Day with fresh lemons. There is just something about lemons that bring a zest of happiness to any room. A bowl of lemons brings the phrase &#8220;simplicity is elegance&#8221; to life. There is nothing more simple and elegant as lemons in a beautiful vase or bowl. One tip I can give you is that you don&#8217;t have to feel that lemons should be contained to the kitchen only. A beautiful bowl of lemons can be set in a dining room, bedroom, bathroom, and even laundry room without looking out of place in the least.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the links above for some fresh inspiration:<br \/>\n1. <a href=\"www.countryliving.com\">Country Living<\/a> had my absolute favorite lemon centerpiece.
