We recently got hit with a heat wave in my area, which instantly made me long for the cooling effect of delicious ice cream. This year, my craving also happens to be one of the strongest fashion trends of the season, with the cold treat's soft hues cropping up all over. Whether it's warm or chilly where you are, ice cream-inspired colors are sure to be a welcome treat. — Chedva from Rooms and Words

I have a reserved place in my living room for a Michelle Armas painting. I love how she mixes abstracts and florals, and the colors are always dreamy.

This pitcher would look great on a mint bar cart, and the streamlined design keeps it from looking overtly feminine.

This still life painting, from Terrain, reminds me of one my parents had. It's a classic for any season — whether you're enjoying spring or longing for it.

I adore this peachy dining set. Those intricate details you see are the chairs pushed in.

A gorgeous banana-yellow updates a traditional table lamp shape. I would definitely put two of these on a console behind a sofa.

I always have had a thing for gemstones, especially quartz. These bookends are so cool and soothing to the eye on a warm day, and they will work in any decor style.

Doesn't this finial look like a mango popsicle? I can't help but fall in love with the gemstone. It's the perfect little twist for any lamp.

The Moorish shape and details of this mirror are breathtaking, and the subtle color adds so much.

What I love about this ottoman is that despite the springy color, it's made from a rather winter appropriate material, so it stays relevant year round. It also doubles as a storage cube — perfect for apartment living!

Who says all work chairs have to be black or brown? Bringing a cheerful ice cream color into the room where we spend so much of our time is a brilliant idea.

| Love the taxidermy trend but not so much the act of taxidermy? A papier-mâché bull (in a cherry hue) will take the stuffiness out of the look. |

I love using rugs to inject color into a room. These rugs have so many colors in them, yet they have a harmonious look that makes them a real find.

| I can see this 1970s Italian bench in an entryway, kitchen, playroom or on the porch — it would add instant oomph. |

Modern design doesn't have to be severe, it actually has a lot of humor in it, just like this mobile from the MoMa store.

I love stools because they serve so many purposes. They can be a side table, a storage solution, extra seating or a ladder. These fun ones would look good anywhere in the house.

Doesn't this look like a summer cocktail? Well, it's actually a coral-scented candle.
