{be sure to check out Elva Fields new Spring collection. swoon.}
the weather report in Boston is looking grim for the next few days...I'm counting the days till Spring {although it doesn't truly warm up here until May} but at least we're heading in that direction! I find yellow so uplifting, I prefer to use hints of this color rather then swathe an entire room in the hue!I've long admired the Darryl Carter room {image 1} pictured. I have a photo of the entire room someplace, if I find it, I'll post it. The yellow painting was actually the impetus for one I created in my own home. {will post soon}. That fabulous pop of yellow is the perfect backdrop for such a glamorous chandelier!
I cannot lie, I'm so loving little girl clothes right now..

Those yellow curtains are AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI just love Elva Fields.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the burst of sunshine.
Yes, grim to say the least- I really hope the weather people are wrong again and that the sun comes out. I could totally use some sun this week.
ReplyDeleteLove your images, I did a post a while back for my East coast friends on yellow called I need some sunshine. I agree about just a pop, whether in a room or in clothing. It does put a smile on your face,that is for sure. Hope you get some nicer weather soon. I also did a post on Flowers, bring some inside it really helps perk things up. Kathysue
ReplyDeleteI am not going to lie, I live in Northern VA and was happy to see the storm is well north of us. I've got winter fatigue too. Beautiful images....
ReplyDeleteeven phoenix, arizona is yucky!
ReplyDeletetotally into yellow as of late! trying to tie yellow into my on going dining room remodel. also thinking about it for my 10 year old daughter's room--is hot pink, lt blue, brown and yellow just too much? my problem clearly is i love too many colors.
Hope we see the sun soon. Great sunny post.
ReplyDeleteWow..is there vitamin D in this post! I feel REVIVED!!! Great "sunny" images!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelley,
ReplyDeleteYou can mix all those colors, but you need to choose two dominant ones and use the other two as accents. I actually just designed a room that was pink, yellow, chocolate and blue, where the pink and chocolate were the main colors. I introduced the yellow and blue sparingly.
Here comes the sun...(la di da)I wish! Not sure I can handle another snowstorm, suffering right along with you. But yellow lifts my spirits everytime!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! So, bright and happy! Beats the NE weather we're having right now!
ReplyDeletei need a yellow necklace NOW and some sunshine to match it with!x
ReplyDeleteYellow has recently been my go-to accent color - but I really love seeing it as the star of the show!
ReplyDeleteI had never been a big fan of yellow outside of the kitchen before, but lately? I am in love with yellow, finding ways to put it throughout the house!
ReplyDeleteAnd those yellow curtains? To die for!
ah Yellow is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI think Toronto's weather is very similar to Boston - and come late February this weather thing is getting old real fast!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pop of sunshine and energy!
I just found this retro inspired yellow cushion and it is making my hap hap happy just looking at it :) le
ReplyDeleteI could use some sun today. Love the first two necklaces.
ReplyDeletejulie--you MUST show pictures of the room in those 4 colors! need inspiration badly. the dominant color i forgot to mention is white and loads of it. pink in LOVE poster from "madebygirl", hable constuction brown bead fabric on two small stools, painting the room blue and hoping to add yellow in some smallish accessories. the 4 poster ikea bed we painted white and the bedding is all white. maybe i can find some yellow pillowcases!
ReplyDeleteJust discovered, and am loving your blog! Those girls in yellow dresses... delicious. I have 5 boys; visitation with such photos is all I get. Serious style in your home. Love it!!! xo
ReplyDeleteThe yellow is so much fun. It makes me crave spring ever more!
