COLOR WATCH – MELLOWING OUT WITH YELLOW!

The white living room above with subtle yellow accents is the way I would do yellow in a room…elegant and demure pops of a muted shade that make the space just a little more lively.

But to give those of you love anything yellow, lemon, maize, ochre, mustard, apricot amber, saffron or gold…here’s a post for you.

Yellow was one of my grandmother’s favorite colors…she even had a yellow kitchen. She was always sunny, happy and bright…just like her favorite hue. (Grandma’s real absolute favorite color though was by far purple…will do a post on that at a later date.

As I am up at 2:45a trying to find yellow things…I’m realizing there are definitely shades of yellow I do not like…and some yellow things that may be too bright. Even so, I’ve managed to find a few very likable pieces that if used in moderation could add a dash of cheer to your living space.

Some furniture and more to indulge.

Bright yellow glass lamp with gold base from Pieces Inc.
Pieces Inc. – Pair of Yellow Glass Table Lamps – $2895 (Bright yellow glass. Original gold base detail. New custom unique gold shades.)(above)

Upholstered maize yellow armchair from Room & Board
Room & Board – Anson Chair – $1199 (Upholstered armchair in maize yellow. Box stitch back. Tapered wood legs. Mid-century modern lines)(above)

Yellow coffee table with lattice design and clear glass top from Oomph
Oomph – Essex Coffee Table – $1800 (Yellow coffee table with lattice design and clear glass top.)(above)

Canvas pillow with yellow beads printed on it from Weego Home
Weego Home – Hable Lemon Beads Pillow -$150 (20″x20″ pillow. Yellow beads printed on canvas cotton. Down insert.)(above)

Lemongrass yellow mid-century Danish modern style sofa from cb2
cb2 – Parlour Sofa – $999 (Mid-century Danish modern style sofa upholstered in Lemongrass yellow. Tapered wood legs and barrel arms. 100% cotton fabric)(above)

Yellow Lacquered Boxes with white trim from Plantation
Plantation – Yellow Lacquered Boxes – $265 for set of 3 (Wooden boxes lined with velveteen are lacquered yellow with white trim.)(above)

Okay…now put your sunglasses on…as it is going to go extra bright for the next few photos!

P.S. Please excuse any typos…I’m exhausted.

    I love yellow, I guess I just like it in soft hues, nothing to bright. I think every room should have a little yellow in it. Hugs, Marty

    Hi Coco –

    ooh yellow! I love the work – and your list of various links is really cool and helpful.

    I’d like to show you my stuff some time. But can’t find your email.

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.
