Loving Yellow Chairs

I must be thinking spring
or rather longing for it as there is still snow on the ground
and it was 25 degrees this morning

Anyway I have been loving the color yellow
so much, that I believe my new dining room
will have a yellow theme

So to get started on my new inspiration I picked up these

They were $30 for both
a bit more than I wanted to spend
but I love their curvy lines
and pretty details

I told my hubby I was going to paint them yellow
and he just gave me the look
The "what in the world is she thinking" look
I told some coworkers I was gong to paint them yellow
and I'm pretty sure I got the same look
I told Lilly I was going to paint them yellow
and she loved the idea
Good to know my 3 year old and I share
the same decorative style :).

I usually don't go for bold colors
I see them everywhere and think they look wonderful
but when it comes to actually taking the plunge
and doing it on my own renovations
I usually chicken out

But not this time
this time I went for it
even though after the first coat of bright sun yellow
I thought I might blind myself
but after a little distressing
the yellow was calmed down
and now it just looks warm and inviting and yummy



I thought about keeping the original fabric on the seats
until I remembered I still had some fabric
left over from Nolee's chair


So now they look like this
and I love them
and so does the hubby!


Just look at those pretty curves




Lilly's eyes about bugged out of her head this morning when she saw them
She told me she loves them and they are her new favorites.

  1. These chairs are lovely, I just adore yellow! I always ask my boys for 'permission / advice' when hubby isn't around! They are almost 2 and always agree, must be the cookie I bribe them with!
