Luscious Yellow

I am loving the color yellow right now. Maybe it's because of the weather or the sun or spring flowers, but the color just makes me happy. Here are a few yellow items I'm loving:

Chair with nail head trim, Home Goods

Grey and yellow floral rug, Overstock

Kitchen towels, Crate and Barrel

Marimekko floral pillow, Crate and Barrel

Glass lamp, West Elm

 I saved this for last because this I'm inspired by this gorgeous yellow leather sofa. I love the detail!

I hope this inspires you to add some sunny yellow to your home- even if it's just in a bouquet of yellow flowers!

Great Room Rug Debate

I've been searching for a rug in our great room for a while now. This is where Ellie plays, and although she may not mind kneeling on the floor I sure do! I will usually sit on a floor cushion. Not only do I want a rug for this reason, but also to separate the space since our great room is shaped like an 'L.' I've been leaning towards the colors gray and yellow. The primary colors in the room now are brown and blues. The yellow would add a pop of color and the gray would be a nice contrast. Tonight I decided to browse the selection at Overstock. When I opened the page an ad for 15% off rugs popped up on my screen. I decided if I saw something I liked I was going to order tonight. Plus, shipping only costs $2.95! We need a rug bigger than a 5x8, but not bigger than an 8x10.

These were my favorites:

Trellis Rug

Trellis Wool Rug

Soho Grey Rug

Avant-Garde Morocco Rug

I did order one of these and will let you know which one I chose when it arrives. I hope I like it in person as much as I do online!

Foot Rest

I'm searching for an ottoman for a possible of 3 different rooms in our house: my husband would like one for the blue chair in our front room, I would like one for the glider in our nursery (we were lucky enough to receive this from friends, but it's without the matching foot rest), and one for my dressing room (for use to primarily put on shoes). Below are some options:

I love this dark grey tufted storage ottoman from Overstock ($130). The tufts really make it look more expensive and very classic. I love the color and that you can store blankets, magazines, etc inside!

Another round tufted ottoman without the storage from Target in purple ($64):

(Also comes in green & brown)

An inexpensive option from Homegoods:

This bench would be perfect for the nursery, as mentioned in this post:

Another very inexpensive option (only $20!) from American Signature. Perfect for my dressing room- small and serves its purpose:

I think my best options are to search Home Goods and American Signature. 

I hope to find one (or a few) soon & will keep you posted!
