The Happy Color...Yellow

So every once in a while I go through color phases, and right now it's yellow.

"Yellow shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Shades of golden yellow carry the promise of a positive future. Yellow will instill optimism and energy, as well as spark creative thoughts."

So hopefully this means I'll be getting some really great creative inspiration in the near future. :)
I don't know what it is about it but I have a love hate relationship with this color. Sometimes I'm in love with it and can't get enough yellow, other times, I can't stand it. So this time around, my yellow phase started with this awesome find at TJMaxx...


I've actually been looking for a higher chest to put on this wall so that I could lean a mirror on it, but when I saw this, I fell in love, and knew it was definitely coming home with me. The price tag made it even easier to cave in.







Then came along this amazing yellow wedding that we did a few weeks ago at Noah's in South Jordan. It had a very garden feel and made me fall even more in love with yellow. I think if I could choose again, I would have yellow flowers for my own wedding, but who knows, it may just be "the phase" talking. :)



I LOVE this asymmetrical arrangement we did for their sign in table. There was a blizzard outside that day which made sunny yellow even better! They took pictures outside the temple in the snow and it was so cold her bouquet actual froze. Luckily we had extra flowers and were able to rework another one for the reception.

Table & Chair Matchup

The dining room is one place people really do their home a disservice.  How? They have a matching dining set, a generic light fixture, and no rug under their table.  Raise your hand if that's you.  Don't worry, you're not alone.  Just by adjusting those 3 things (mix up your chairs, add a fun light fixture, add a rug) you can really revamp your dining room.  Just bought your dining set and can't afford new chairs?  Easy.  Keep your side chairs, but find some upholstered chairs to add as captain's chairs on each end of the table.  It will mix it up just enough! Plus you'll have 2 extra chairs when you have guests over.  Another option is painting your chairs a different color from your table and add some fun cushions or reupholstering the seats.                                             ...
