Let the Sun Shine In


I'm in a yellow kind of mood. I find myself ripping pictures out of magazines and catalogs like these that have pops of bright, sunshiny color.


I came "thisclose" to buying this yellow cabinet from IKEA recently. Looking at it now makes me think I might just have to go back and get it. Surely I can find someplace in my house for it?

And I love this chair from Anthropologie. Hmmm. Where, oh, where, could I use a yellow chair?


Do you have a certain color that's been calling to you lately?

I've read a couple of books about color theory that say that when you're craving a color, it represents something that's lacking in your life. Like light blue represents creativity (which is why I painted my home office light blue recently!). Purple means you have a longing for spirituality. And yellow, as I recall, stands for communication.

P.S. I'm giving a tour of the Queen Anne Victorian home used for "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" over at my other blog today. If you've ever been curious about what it actually looked like inside, take a look!
