"A house is a home when it shelters the body and comforts the soul."

My poor roommate.
Just about every 3 days,
she comes home to find
that I've moved the furniture
again,
or brought in new pillows,
or hung new wall decorations,
or re -hung wall decorations in a new spot
or shifted something here,
or moved this thing over there...

She's very sweet though,
and just let's me do my thing.
(Please bless my future husband is that okay with it too,
because I can't seem to stop.)

I recently got tired of the tall walls in the living room
being so bare and boring.
I actually kept these Christmas decorations up--
for a lot longer than December,
just to fill the space.


Well, eventually, I couldn't stand it anymore,
and after some blog-surfin'
I decided on this to fill the empty wall...
one of my favorite framed Minerva Tiechert paintings,
and a group of empty frames from goodwill,
all painted mustard yellow.
The color that makes me the happiest in all the world.
(I love it especially with my new pea-green pintuck pillow...
remember how much I love mustard and pea green??)


I also added some Norman Rockwell to the walls,
because every space could use a little 
"Saturday Evening Post" whimsy.


And I'm currently obsessing over "vignettes"
--or little gatherings of pretty things--
from the large list of design blogs that I follow...
so I created my own.
I mean, we have that super cool fireplace mantle right?
Why not put it to good use?


Grateful for:
COLORS.
And sleep.

Pea Green and Mustard Yellow.

My fave colors...  yes, it's true, they are pea green and mustard yellow.  I thoroughly enjoy them by themselves, and even more especially together. Don't freak out--it doesn't look like baby poop when you put them together the right way.  I promise.

Do you trust me?

fashion chic: pea green


Baby Poop color can be vintage aaand modern.


Beautiful in a fairy-tale sort of way in weddings...


...and can also be lush and rustic.


Yum.

Yellow cardigan over a wedding dress??? Yes PLEEEEASE!!!


Oh my I love this. Sooo fabulous.


Super ornate... but aren't the colors delectable??


Bright and sunny and sparkly and symmetrical.  Lovely.

A dash of sophistication if you please.

Add some green and your space will NEVER be without imagination...



Green/Yellow shag carpet = super rad and sooo hardcore in your jammin' room.


Pretty pastel pallets make for the perfect room to indulge in some sweets.



These colors are also gorgeous in vintage, shabby chic spaces:




...

And ultimate fashion use of golden and mossy hues??
CARDIGANS.
Of course.





Accessorized with complementary scarves and bags.
Perfect.
Delicious.

Green and Yellow are what I would call the ultimate WHIMSICAL color combination.
I loooove how bold and playful it is; especially when you make something sophisticated and traditional out of pea and mustard.  It's definite whimsy.



Grateful for: President Uchtdorf's talk on creativity and compassion.  Sooo grateful.
