A touch of yellow

I love yellow.

It is is such a powerful colour. 

It can change my attitude, my mood, my day.

Sunny.

{This is by far my favorite Ikea product ever}.

Current dreamroom : my favorite desk

Hello dear friends,

Do you have a picture, a file saved on your laptop, a cut out that stays with you whenever you daydream?

 I love this desk, this chair, this view. It is currently my ideal space. It is open, and light, and fresh, and I like my yellow chair!

Mosaic Monday

Hello, dear friends,
For this week's Monday Mosaic, I am showing you the party favors we were given at the Christening of a client's son.

It's a metal motorcycle, slightly antiquated, painted in a lovely canary yellow, with chocolate filled candy.
I am in a mood for yellow this week, so I think I am going to post at least one yellow design post!

With Thanks to our hostess at Little Red House.

See you next week!

Happy Yellows

Yellow. Self-centered? Egotistic? Or just warm and happy?

Yellows

Best first impressions. Yellow on the staircase adds class and style. Beautiful backdrom for sketches and guilt frames.
Formal. Nice guilt mirror. Safran velvet on both curtains and sofa.
Essentially cream vanilla with a vigorous touch of yellow on the left, a delicate Baker on the right and a blue sofa adding a touch of seriously adult style. Look at the chandelier bringing blue and yellow together and adding an ethnic tone. Also notice the accent use og red on the chandellier.
orgeous informal living. Again see the use of red and burgundy as an accent color in the throw on the chair to the right, the pillow on the left and the armchair a la Provencale to the left.
Yellow and black. Stripes and pattern. Ironwork.

That's quite a usual combination. However, the light and bright walls encourage the feeling of space. See how the pillow to the left echoes the red on the armchair to the left, and the pillow on the yellow arm char on the right rpeat the grey of the side chair to the right, plus a touch of burgundy from the pillow to the left. Love the flowers, too.
I wouldn't go for shelving over a bed, but I love the buttery yellow and the under bed storage.
