For Bailey McCarthy, decorating is a way to inject cheer into everyday life. There are zigzags and stripes, vibrant artwork and happy accessories. "I want my house to show who I am, which is someone who isn't afraid of bold patterns or whimsical ideas," says Bailey, a designer, blogger and boutique owner (biscuit-home.com).
