Mellow Yellow

OK - Right as I'm shooting my mouth off that I'm a "Sunday Blogger," I go and post mid-week (I realize the date says Monday but I'm really posting on Wednesday)! However, I was feeling particularly inspired today and want to post! And since I'm the boss of this establishment - I can do that!! : )

I also realize that the first official day of Spring was a few days ago, and that this post was probably really more appropriate for that. We have been having the most beautiful weather here lately and it's really beginning to feel like Spring! I'm sitting here watching the sunset and it's almost 7:30!!! This is when I LOVE the time change (try and get me to say that in the morning!)

One of my absolute FAV colors is yellow! It's especially near and dear to my heart this year since it is one the main colors in our wedding. (Our bridesmaids will be wearing a yellow dress of their choice.) We'll look similar to this pic.



On to yellow decor

{Unexpected color combo - but I like it!}




Hope everyone's having a good week!

  3. Hi Melissa,

    Let me first say I love all the yellows. I especially love the bridesmaid idea and that little roman shade over the kitchen sink that said "eat."

    Now let me ask you this. Do you work at Rustic Rooster Interiors? Where is it located? I see that they are heavily influenced by Ralph Lauren. He is my all-time favorite designer. I channel him always on decisions about this cottage. I don't think it shows but I TRY HARD. I say hard b/c I'm somewhat of a minimalist and I know RL is not. I try to fall somewhere in the middle.

    Thanks for your answers.

  4. I've had so many bad experiences with yellow. I think it's a difficult color. Maybe it's just too happy a color for me. But these photos are all really lovely.

  5. Ok Melissa, I WANT that table. Here is the problem. My husband reminded me that I have jury duty on tuesday! Can you believe that? I have to figure out a way to get it!

  6. I love yellow.Love the doors in the first picture. I think punches of it here and there are easier than trying to paint a room yellow. It's such a hard color to get "right". I have a sideboard in my DR painted yellow. It always makes me smile.

  7. loving the yellow! remember how i showed you the guest bedroom loft upstairs? we are going to make doors on a track system for that room like that yellow door, for added privacy. i had that same pic in my files:)

    and YES to craft day. i haven't glued the mirror yet, so maybe one day we can go to the beach, collect lots of wood and get to work. SOOO much fun if we do it together. also... dana, my friend that you met, is the one who knows darby. small world huh? anyhoo, we are both free on monday, so if you aren't doing anything, we can stop by and bring you a stella catalog and talk details etc. text me soon if this sounds good. have a great weekend!!!! xo

    ps...y'all should use the same paint that i used for the tables at the rooster. you gotta see it in real life. i have a ton left over if you want to try it. soo pretty!
