Yellow Finds

Hasn't the weather been beautiful! so sunny. Makes me feel warm and think of all things yellow.
I know in my next house (yes - there will be one, Im sure) I want a yellow front door.
In my house now it would look odd. But I love them so much.

Whats not to love about yellow?

I have a friend who hates Orange, I love orange but I get its not for everyone, same with Green some people loath it, I get puzzled but people not liking a colour. I dont LOVE purple, but then I can see it used in the right way or on a pretty dress and admire how great a colour it is.
But, I have to ask  what sort of person could not love yellow, a sad person perhaps, a gloomy type, its one of those colours to me that no one could dislike.

Right Stripe

Can anything be more lovely than a stripey room, its so fresh and fun.
I have painted a striped room before,

please when you look at these rooms feel for the person that painted them, its a hard job, but the result is most definatly worth it.

Beautiful!!

Bedroom Love

I love this room, simple not styled with in an inch of its life. just relaxing, cheery and personal.

I have to own this chair and cushion... like, yesterday!!

This is my inspiration pic for Archie's new bedroom, but he will have an Owl theme going on,

but in a subtle way, I just love the simple look of white linen, the bright fabrics on the cushions, bunting and floor, and then the art work on the walls tie everything in - so sweet.

and better still, he gives it the thumbs up.yay!

Tee Pee Crush

One thing I know for sure.
Every home needs a Tee Pee.

Playroom Inspiration

Okay, so the playroom I need to have in our house, will double as a guest room. Sofa bed needs to be purchased. I think I want to get a white one with washable slip covers.. am I crazy??
Curtains, Im thinking of using a fabric I considered for Archie's room. But I think it will work better in the playroom......

I have these bird flash cards, that I want to use

Then I was going to make LOTS of cushions for pretty fabrics. some a bit girly.. I need a bit of that around here. And some BIG floor cushions... or maybe an ottoman. The room has robes down one side of it, great storage for all the toys. will leave those.
Then a reading corner with a book shelf and comfy chair, covered in matching fabrics..

I was also thinking of doing a string of bunting to liven it up.
And Etsy art has been purchased already.

I want it bright and cheery, eclectic and fun.

Also I have a wooden chest, so I think that can house more of the larger toys that dont fit in the robes.

And as for a TV, I will probably go ahead and put one it... truth is I have been out voted. I did tell M it didnt need to be an 85 inch one, just a small one, so hopefully he listened to that.

Will post before and after pictures once the project is finished.
So above are my inspiration pics for the room.
Its a bit mumbo jumbo in my head how this room will work, if it will work at all, its not a big room, but is has great natural light and is right in the centre of the home... where all kiddo's should be playing.

wish me luck.

Nooks

I love nooks in houses, I would have one in every room if my husband let me, he thinks nooks are weird.
He does love bay windows, thats another post, my bay window obsession..

I think children especially love nooks.
So I thought Id post some of my favorite nooky pictures.
Enjoy

Mellow Yellow

Thought I would indulge my yellow fetish once more.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

I actually have pictures for my 52 week post... will share in the morning.

Peace and Light
