inspiration workshop! :: yellow

Wow! It's been a LONG time since I last linked up with Gussy Sews for her Inspiration Workshop! series.

But, alas, here I am.

This month's prompt is YELLOW.

Honestly, I used to not like the color yellow. 

Yes, I know. Preposterous.

How can you not like the color yellow?

I guess I used to think it wasn't very pretty.

Now the color makes me super happy.

It, of course, reminds of sunshine.

And light.

via

And joy.

 via

It's so cheery!

One day I'd like to have a yellow statement piece in my house.

Like a bright yellow door.

via

Or yellow stairs.

via

Or a yellow crib in a baby's room.

via

Ooh! Or something like this yellow faux fireplace.

SO pretty!!

Yellow makes the world seem right.

yellow & gray

I often find myself thinking about how I would outfit my home, if money and space were no issue. Pinterest does nothing to help me get out of this daydream state.

One of my current obsessions is a yellow and gray bedroom. Now, these are two colors that I wouldn't have necessarily envisioned together myself, but after spending HOURS scouring the interwebz, I've come to find that this is quite the popular duo right now. And I too, have jumped on the yellow and gray decor train.



How pretty is this room?! I absolutely adore the rug. And I love the "sitting" area at the foot of the bed.



A lovely gray and yellow inspiration board.



Yellow nightstands? Yes, please! And that curtain behind (and over) the bed adds an incredible layer of texture and depth to the room.



Okay, maybe this is more for a nursery, but I love everything about it. From the colors, to the font, to the word placement, to the lyrics themselves. By the way, this song holds a special place in my heart, as it is the song that my own mom sang to me when I was little.



That chair is almost too pretty to sit on. Almost.


Now, no matter how much I love this, or any other, color combination, it will probably never happen in my house. I've come to realize that tying myself down to specific colors is WAY too limiting for my "living in" decor style. I like mismatched stuff. I don't want to tie myself down things of a certain color or design. I have WAY too many knick knacks and memorabilia-type things that I want to display. I like my home to look lived in.

But, that won't stop me from daydreaming.
