Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!

Where did that saying even come from? 

But this is easy, peasy!

I love lemons and they are everywhere in decor right now. 

I've always loved lemons as a favorite flavor. Lemon Meringue Pie, Chic Fil A lemonade, I drink my tea with lemon (always!) and lemon squeezed on my favorite fresh seafood. A dash of fresh squeezed lemon in homemade vinaigrette, Citrus Sangria, and a must have when we prepare asparagus. The list goes on.

In decor my hands down favorite lemon-y item is this Schumacher design:

Citrus Garden.

Created in 1947 but absolutely a classic and timeless!

Faux lemon topiaries and wreaths are popping up everywhere for Spring and Summer decorating.

I love a good deal on a "trendy" item that won't be around forever 
and I found the lemon wreath above at Wal Mart for under $20.00.

What a great way to add a touch of Summery, sunny yellow 
to my kitchen without spending a fortune.

Yes, some of the more expensive wreaths (and topiaries) are a bit more realistic but they are 3 and 4 times the price. 

I think the quality of the Wal Mart wreath is just fine for a short term burst of yellow fun. 

I tried it with a navy gingham bow too!

Which do you like best? Plain or with a bow?

This post is not sponsored by Wal Mart. I'm just sharing a good deal!

If you can't find this one here are a couple of great looking 
faux lemon wreaths from Amazon. 
With Prime you could have it on your door in no time flat!

This wreath has a TON of lemons!

This one has a bit more greenery.

And I might have to order this cute lemon topiary for my porch.

It would be perfect in a blue and white cache pot!

So, what's your favorite citrus?

Monday Blues.

I think a good dose of sunshiny, lemon yellow can cure the Monday Blues.

This breezeway from Mary MacDonald has everything going for it. 

If you were ever going to wish you were a potted plant then this would be it.

Gorgeous potted citrus on a slightly more manageable scale from One Kings Lane.

Want to make this happen at your house?

This porcelain planter is under $100.00 right now on Wayfair.

I bought a lemon tree at Home Depot last Summer for under $20.00

It's wintering over in the master bathroom - sunniest window and humidity.

 A lemon tree's dream home ;)

We are about to harvest our second lemon. PS. This is not an economical way to get lemons. Just pretty.

If you don't want to wait until citrus trees are being sold this Summer here are two options:

If you don't think you can keep a real one alive 

this is a pretty good looking "faux" lemon tree.

And for $27.99 plus free Prime shipping I would be willing to give it a chance.

And you can order a live lemon tree as well.

I found live citrus trees on Etsy!

This little tree is $34.99

Cure the Monday Blues with a lemon tree of your own.
