I've been on this insane decorating rampage where I want to paint everything in sight and search every design and decor blog known to man. This week I found an amazing couch and the most incredible blue cabinets in the whole wide world.
One day I'll go nuts when we own.... One day!

To get my fix, I painted some old mirrors! I needed some COLOR in my life!
Before:
(our old place. This was me 6 months pregnant...)
After:
I toned it down with only 3 instead of five...
These little gems were purchased for less than $15 bucks all together
at various thrift stores and yard sales, you know how we do.
They were once black and gold, and now they are yellow.

I can't decide. Are they school bus yellow OR macaroni and cheese yellow?
I can't get over that pink couch and those blue cabinets.
Every time I look at those cabinets, my mouth waters.
How can a color do that?! It really does though.
Ugh...drooool! The couch! The cabinets! The mirrors!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think your mirrors are what's known as Friggin' Awesomesauce Yellow.
Dude, awesome sauce! You're so cute! That's what I say too!
ReplyDeleteI know. Do you ever watch 9 by design. that show is addicting.
I love it ALL. The couch with the green wall...drool!
ReplyDeleteLove the mirrors and the little blue table, oh, and the cabinets are a given!
ReplyDeletefrench's mustard yellow.
ReplyDeleteWhich is a GOOD thing. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with that color blue also! And I love the yellow mirrors!
ReplyDeleteJessica, I smiled when I read your comment. you're too funny! ~
ReplyDeleteThat couch is AWESOME! Oh my gosh!
ReplyDeleteLove those mirrors - I'd say they're school bus yellow myself.
Oh my goodness I'm in love with that pink couch!!! I want it like yesterday!!! Your yellow mirrors are super cute too!!
ReplyDeleteschool bus yellow, for sure :)
ReplyDeleteI'm getting the painting itch, too...though my husband is a little less inclined to let me go crazy.
And those cabinets are AWESOME!
I like the yellow- it is cheery and I agree that cabinet looks amazing. You could totally recreate an itty bitty version with your big brown bookcase in the office:)
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at that book case for about a year now wanting to do something with it. The thought of sanding that monster down seems so daunting to me.
ReplyDeleteI need like 20 little gnomes with lots of electric sanders to come and get it done for me in one weekend. that would be awesome.
i love those mirrors. lots and lots.
ReplyDeletegood graish.
i'm craving mac&cheese.
Chelsea..i feel ya sister. i have the paint bug bad. im the kind of painter that has to start and finish all in one day though..i dont like lingering projects and i just hate the thought of starting and then having to stop to entertain little Jude. maybe i will get the nerve up to conquer that impatient quirk and just do it. your mirrors are wonderful ...yellow..my all time favorite color
ReplyDeleteMacaroni yellow for sure. I love the yellow mirrors! Amazing vintage finds indeed. Paint more please! And do share.

ReplyDeletelove the yellow frames!! my vote is for school bus yellow - so fun!
ReplyDeleteand thanks for your comment. i know just how your teacher friend feels. it's way more fun working with kids in therapy than having 30 at a time every day. ack! do you have any posts on here from your thailand trip? i would love to hear all about it!
SIGH...one day i will own a home too and i can try my hand at all this awesome design stuff. i crave it! can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteYou did great with the yellow... color can really change the look and the feel of an object. You inspired me to paint some of my frames now.
