Follow the yellow brick road.

It's official. The nightstand I've been freaking out over (featured here) is going to be painted yellow. Not a yellow-yellow though. More of a marigold-yellow. Paint is purchased and color is going on this weekend.

In honor of this procrastinated (and a little nerve-racking) decision, here are some rooms with an accent color of - you guessed it - yellow.

Tips for Use:

• If using as accent, make sure there is at least one yellow accessory opposite from each other to keep a balance.
• If primary color, use white or gray to tone it down. Try orange, green or maybe even pink for something bright and fun but still complimentary.
• Try using the color on something other than a pillow. It's more unexpected and adds a sense of depth.
• The brighter the color, the less formal the room's tone. If you want add yellow but keep the room from seeming overly playful, opt for a softer hue.

Happy Friday!

Loving this blog: Poppytalk

What I think  Poppytalk is probably the cutest website ever. It features great DIY ideas at every budget,  artists and their latest work, inspiration and decorating tricks among others. I can't say enough about this blog, I check it at least 2-3 times a week and am always coming away with a great idea or yet another project that I can add to what seems like my never ending list.

They also feature a monthly online street market used to showcase handmade goods by talented artists, on Poppytalk Handmade. It's like a smaller version of etsy that really shows off the favored style of the blog in a less overwhelming way.
