hello, yellow! (a happily ever after decorating love story)

to some people, yellow is the color of caution; it makes them nervous and brings up images of wasps and police tape. for maison21, it's the complete opposite- for us, it conjures mental images of sunshine and daffodils, lemonade and butterfly wings.  it's a natural antidepressant, and never fails to make us smile. hope you are smiling too after this lil "decorating with yellow" roundup.

one of the most storied rooms in decorating history, nancy lancaster's yellow drawing room (via elle decor)

you don't need to paint an entire room yellow to bring the sunshine in, a pair of these mottega lamps would do the trick quite nicely!
