Easy DIY Upgrade: Paint a Swiss Cross on It

I have this thing for neutrals; everything I bring home is black, white or wood toned. It's a great strategy for timeless pieces, but I'm getting a little bored. Everything is just so plain. Turning to Scandinavian interiors, I see that a neutral home doesn't have to be a boring one... with the right touch. Forget pops of color. The prescription for a boring home might just be a pop of pattern.
