Yellow is the Color of Sunshine - Spring is Near



Daffodils at Gibbs Gardens website
Last Sunday, my husband and I traveled about an hour north of the Atlanta area to visit Gibbs Gardens and the first event of their season - acres and acres of daffodils. It was a beautiful day and a great outing. We became annual ticket-holders last year and are going to try to make all of their big events!

The fields of yellow just glowed in the sun and yellow is the color that most reminds me of spring and sunshine. We've have a harder-than-usual winter here in the South and spring is beckoning! Yellow is also my personal go-to color for decorating - at least 75% of my house has either some or a lot of yellow. Even on gloomy days, the rooms retain a certain amount of sunshine!

I just added a great little settee and chair (very nice Mitchell Gold products) reupholstered in a wonderful large pattern daffodil yellow and white and thought I'd use this posting to highlight it and other yellow favorites from my recent collections.
Here is the Mitchell Gold set - love this fabric!
The buffalo plaid has to be my all-time favorite bright yellow fabric - I had enough to do three pieces! 
Nice pieces from last year! I have some of the yellow and blue toile left over and am doing a bergere chair and ottoman right now - should be available soon!
Nice pieces as well - the two fabric on the lower-right chairs is actually brighter than it shows here!
Clearly, I need to keep the sunshine going with yellows and pale golds - more to come soon!
