YELLOW IS A HAPPY…. COLOR-SNEAK PEEK

Yellow is my husbands favorite color. 
I like it too and sometimes, I LOVE it.
lately I have been a bit CRAZY in love with it..
remember the recently painted Fireplace cover?

.
I am also
 crushing on red and navy…and charcoal….
…deeper colors I usually do not normally gravitate toward…
hmmm…I wonder? maybe it is just the upcoming July 4 FEVER!
or maybe I am in the mood for a burger…
who knows!!!
who cares!???

anyhoo
This week, to satisfy my obsession, 
 I have been doing some more 
making over of the dining room accessories:
I painted the hutch (later)
I finally got my new lamp…(more on that later)
I spray painted a side chair yellow
 and reupholstered the 3 upholstered 
seat cushions
in a deep navy Houndstooth..
Oh,  have I mentioned..
I am SUPER NUTS about houndstooth?!!
I will buy houndstooth fabric with no project in mind.
and then make up a project to justify it.
I am contemplating a houndstooth rug for somewhere…
where? boys room? maybe.
I am saving a full photo session for the arrival of my new canon lens…
recommended by Kevin Palmer from the Lettered Cottage
during the INVALUABLE Photography session at the  Haven Conference.

For now, here is a photo of my new lamp and the yellow chair
Taken with the awesome Leica camera one of my photography students 
Moms sold to me!
