The temperature in Toronto today is -13 degrees Celsius, making it one of the coldest days of the season so far. In an effort to counteract the cold, I'm thinking about sunny yellow to warm up the day!! Decorating with yellow can be difficult, since it's such a strong colour it can be dizzying if overused. But as an accent with grey, blue, black or white, yellow can look just right!!
Eye catching, all the way from the curb.

A touch here and there goes a long way in this strong hue.
Blue and yellow with a white background create a nautical feel.

ReplyDeleteI know this is a little late, but I remember seeing the awning stripes in this posting when I was designing a card. I am featuring this card in one of my blog postings, so I thought I would give you credit now for the inspiration with a link to your site. You can see it at:

I've never seen yellow used so well before both in a house and out of it. I always thought yellow would never work because I see old houses with yellow and it looks bad. I love how this hows us that yellow can work if it's a more modern house with a more modern shade of yellow.
ReplyDeleteSo cool, I really love the yellow doors!
