My latest color crush!

Hi Bloggerettes!  Well, I've gone from loving everything blue and painting everything blue, to loving yellow, soft yellow...

Like beautiful baubles and starfish in a shell bowl with a hint of yellow mosaic tiles....

The yellow love all started when I re-hung these silk gold and cream colored panels in the family room...

Since you can see the livingroom from the family room I repainted the once gray sofa table a soft yellow.  I used a mocha glaze to give it an antique look...



The yellow table now looks prettier with the yellow curvy couch and the golden yellow toile pillows....don't you think?  Yes?

This little pedestal table used to be white, now it's soft yellow.

So, for now, I'm lovin yellow.
Hard to tell what it will be next week, or next month, or even tomorrow!

What color are you lovin now?

Okay, now get out there and create, make, sew, photograph, paint, draw, craft, redecorate, read, repurpose, or find something wonderful and share it with the rest of us.

~~hugs~~
Sissie

    Your soft yellow is just beautiful. Isn't it nice to be able to change on a whim?

    I do love my soft green and soft pink combination but I do have some yellow in one of my bedrooms. I am really drawn to pastels and lots of whites...they just make me feel happy!~Hugs, Patti

    Hi Sissy!
    I love anything in your house, that's what I love! If you lived closer I would hire you to decorate our new home...whenever we buy one! You do a fantastic job. Love the changes you've made.

    That's so funny, Sissie! I JUST LOVE YOUR pieces!!! They are lovely! I have been drawn to soft yellow this year too...and I wrote about that on someone's blog the other day. It is just such a happy, sweet color, isn't it? When my first daughter was born her whole nursery was done in a soft, pale yellow-right down to the sheer frilled curtains. This past week she went out and bought new couches- guess what color? Soft, pale yellow! xo Diana

    Hi Sissie...I'm loving your soft yellows. The bowl with the baubles and the starfish is so pretty. I love the edging. I also love the little table and the big shells! Everything is just so....wonderful! You have such an eye for beauty!

    Hi Sissy, everything looks so beautiful, isn't it amazing how much our taste changes. I have mostly white walls in my home, a few years ago I got in touch with a painter to come in and paint all the walls a soft gold, well he didn't show up and I never got the walls painted and now I'm so glad, because if I had, I would now be wanting to paint them back white!

    I think that yellow is gorgeous. No new colors here. If I had an extra room, I would do Black, cream with yellow accents. So I will have to enjoy your yellow from afar!

    Hi Sissie! I knew those curtains would tie in with the pillows. Now the yellow pieces round out the whole room! I am still on a pink bender, but am loving a grey lavender and that fresh aqua too. And I am liking the grass greens....hmmmm....

    I love it, Sissie! It's very soft looking and I'm so glad you left those drapes up. They really are gorgeous! Like Amy, I was thinnking how well they went with your toile pillows on your sofa and I really like how it brings the colors from the sofa over to the window. I don't have a color of the moment right now, although I am itching to try something with one of the gray chalk paints.

    Sissy, I love how you change!

    The soft yellow is so sweet...I love it.

    I love it all. I have tried to go to whites, and I love them but I love colors too. Especially soft, soft colors. I could never be pinned down to one thing.

    Happy Sunday to you!

    Love the gold drapes. I think you can make yellow go with most colors, especially a paler version. I really like blues/grays/yellows together, it speaks of summer and the beach.

    I DO think the table is even prettier in soft yellow. I've always been a fan of soft yellow because it provides warmth. You are one ambitious lady, Sissie. I truly don't know from where you get all your energy!

    Hi Sissie,
    I am so loving the yellow. I think your curtains are beautiful and the yellow table is a perfect compliment. I love whites and grays but you've got me thinking about adding some color here and there. Speaking of color.....love, love, love the chair redo in the previous post. That is one great beachy chair!
