Chroma Files: Yellow

May 24, 2010

A couple of months ago I was down the street at the local thrift store, not looking for anything in particular but generally browsing through everything. After walking past the dressers and desks in various grades of disrepair I came across the mustard office chair. It was pretty stained on the arm rests and lower seat, but her wide bucket seat looked wide enough to curl up in, my rickety old wooden desk chair needed replacing, and the sticker on her said $5. After a little bit of work with the oxy-clean and some dusting up she looks just like new vintage, and thus my love affair with yellow this spring was born.

It’s everywhere in daffodils and lemons, mustards and neon, yellow-oranges and yellow-greens. I can’t help but associate yellow a little with bees & honey which I’m sure you’ll be able to deduce from this edition of Chroma Files.

    I love the warmth of golden yellow. Unfortunately it is not a color I can wear, but it looks great downstairs in my favorite room!! I love your new layout….it is beautiful.

    That chair is such a fab find for five bucks (yes, I’m a fan of alliteration). :)
    Also, I share the love of yellows. This post made me smile! Specially with the kittycat sitting on that fabulous mustard & chrome chair.
