Yellow.

Yellow1
I’ve been admiring yellow lately and its many variations. In fact, I recently put up some yellow curtains that I had custom made for my kitchen(yes, even though I’m moving and there’s a for sale sign outside) I am in love with them. I was inspired from a yellow handbag that I have. I had it on the kitchen table one day and thought, I really love how the yellow pops against the colour green that is in my kitchen. So, I took the handbag with me to the fabric store, matched it and placed the order for my curtains.  This was all before I decided to sell the house and build a new one( I will show pics of the curtains and of the progress of the  new house in another post). In any case, I made sure the measurements of the curtains would fit the windows of the new house.  Anyway, a little pop of yellow can do wonders to  enliven a space and add a wow factor; just like the sofa in the space above.

This yellow door is perfect for the façade of the house. I love yellow paired with black and white. It has a bit of dramatic air.

Oooh, la, la, see what I mean! Dramatic (for sure), stunning and might I add sexy!

Splashes of yellow in the accessories is perfection for this neutral room.

A yellow wall as headboard equals a very cool bedroom!

Some neon yellow chairs in this loft space create a funky mix!

After Monday’s lethargy, I’m definitely feeling refreshed today and hope you all are too! Happy Wednesday! XX

  8. My mother wears only yellow and green. I bought her the perfume "woman in yellow" because of it. I don't wear yellow but I like a bold pop - especially with the black and white. We painted the pole on our back patio and our house numbers primary yellow and I love it. That front door is fantastic.

  27. Eeks - I looked away for a second and you come up with this FANTASTIC new-look blog layout!!! Absolutely "gotcha" attention seeking and I LOVE it! As well as that, a most gorgeously wonderful post about that happiest colour in the world - yellow. Ah! Such lovely images, not sure which is my favourite - the warehouse, the front door, the bedroom or the first image...I have just decorated my Christmas tree in yellow and gold so I could sneak it into any of these lovely rooms.

  39. I also love the color yellow. I use to have a yellow room in a previous house that I lived in. I love the dressing table and the bedroom with the yellow wall. Such beautiful photographs!!!

  40. I painted our ONE room studio apt with a soft buttery yellow, as living in Maine in the winter can be kind of gray.. brightens up the room AND your attitude when you need it! Plus it looks good with a number of other colors too!
    Love the yellow.. very classy!
