Hello Yellow


It's FRIGID here in Arkansas this week....and I mean FRIGID. Like, last night it was 14 degrees when I got home. 14? How is that possible in the south? Craziness.

So naturally, now I'm craving warmth and sunlight, 2 things I've had very little of lately. This also makes me want to visit the tanning bed like every day, (I was thisclose last night, I swear).

Since I can't buy sun or change the weather, I figured, "Why not look at photos of yellow things?" Makes sense, right? These spaces make me smile.


A yellow accent wall, turquoise painting and black accent chairs? Perfection, folks.


How about a yellow oven? How cute would that be in a retro-style home?


What a happy little lou...


I'm not sure I'd be able to relax in a room with heavy, striped wallpaper like this, but I'm digging the yellow sofa table and purple/gray accents.


This French settee is so chic...And did you notice that the girl's shoes are yellow, too?


This rug is very Copa Cabana...makes me want to grab a towel and head to the beach for some reason.


Ok, so I have an idea and I need your thoughts. I always said that once I reached 300 followers I would do a Q and A post. You know, one where followers ask random questions and I answer them. Well, I'm getting pretty darn close to 300. I've seen this done on tons of other blogs, but I was wondering if any of you have tried it. I'm a little nervous about what might be submitted, but I think it would be cool to address some of the questions I get through emails and such.

Have you done a Q and A post on your blog? And if so, did you get any weirdo questions?

  1. I am feeling the exact same thing- another blogging Leslie (in Louisiana) freezing and thinking of nothing but sun! I listened to the Beatles last night, hung star lanterns in the windows, and thought about painting a big canvas that said Here Comes The Sun! I am so ready for spring and biking and hula hooping and not cringing when I walk outside.

    Nice post!!

    Ummm, I haven't done Q&A, but you should go for it! I think it would be fun. If there are questions that you don't feel like answering then don't... but I think it would be fun!

  11. I did a q&a post after Blogger chose me as their Blog of Note and I didn't get any (too) weird questions or anything. I think it's a fun way for your readers to get to know you!

  13. All of the yellow makes me warmer just looking at it. About the Q & A...you could still do it but be selective about what questions you answer? Don't feel like you have to answer something that may not make you feel comfortable darlin.
