Livening Up The Week With A Dose of Yellow

 For days it's been dreary and rainy here and we still have more rain in the forecast. I am a sun lover and I am not very happy when the weather is like this. So, I am beating the gloom with a happy dose of yellow in today's post...

Scenes from the Weekend: Around our Home…

I bought my second bonsai this weekend and repotted it in this beautiful canary yellow pot(purchased from TJMaxx). It looks right at home atop Zion’s vintage dresser that was thrifted a few months ago. Zion's room gets loads of natural light that floods his room, so the bonsai should thrive(fingers crossed).


It was all about canary yellow also referred to as marigold en mi casa this weekend. The modern chair above is one from a pair that I purchased at the thrift store(one that I frequent way too much). I actually had them in the garage for awhile and I was inspired to paint one this weekend.

And voila! Love it!! I’m thinking blue for the other chair and placing it on the opposite side of the table. Thoughts?

A bit blurry because he’s always on the move! Baby Ian is  finally eating again and is feeling much better. Mama is very happy.

We celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday and the talented hubs drew this on the chalkboard wall. It’s so good to have him home… How was your weekend? I'd love to hear about it! Love and Blessings. XX

Yellow.

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
