Colour Me Sunshiney Yellow

Could there be a happier colour than yellow? I think not. And after years of never being able to answer the "favourite colour" question, I'm now prepared to say that yellow is the one for me!

"Yellow is the colour of sunshine, hope, and happiness and stands for freshness, happiness, positivity, clarity, energy, optimism, enlightenment, remembrance, intellect, honor, loyalty, and joy"

It's probably no coincidence that the majority of flowers I planted in the garden are yellow. They cheer me up as soon as I see them.

I found some very inspiring and cheerful yellow images to share this month.

1. Yellow Ginko Tree Leaves in Washington DC by  Paul Frederiksen. You can purchase a copy of the print here.

2. Vintage Yellow Water Cooler on Etsy

3. Why not use an old bicyle as a planter?

4. I love the idea of Smeg refrigerators, and a yellow one is a no-brainer

5. Good Morning Sunshine is my typical phrase when I see Kieran in the morning. Made by The Love Shop but no longer available.

6. A rotary phone in yellow! LOVE! Available at Anthropologie

7. Vintage pick-up truck via Pearls and Prose

8. I plan to have mimosa trees when we buy a home.

9. Beautiful abandoned house in Nova Scotia by Matt Madden & Kim Vallis

Here's a design palette I created pulling colours from the images above. use it to inspire a new sunshiny creation!
