Ding, ding, ding! If you guessed "Yellow and Gray Color Scheme," give yourself a good ol' pat on the back!
I have been obsessed with this color scheme for a few years now. Ever since I first saw picture number 2 (yellow Ikea poster bed) in Domino Magazine back in 2008. Micah was not so into it at first, but when I showed him pictures 3 and 4, he really warmed up. I put together a very, very preliminary mood board of what I would like to see in the master bedroom. Sorry if it's a bit small, but it's my first time making a digital mood board so give me some props people.
Now I am not saying that I'm running out and buying all this stuff. I am just in the initial planning stages and wanted to put out a feeler and see if I'm crazy, or if this really does work.
I know the color scheme is a bit hard to see, so here is a close up:
Also, for those of you interested, here are links to most of the items on the mood board, in case you would like to get a closer look:
- Martha Stewart Paint
- Zig Zag Rug
- Parsons Bed
- IKEA Rast Hack
- Honey Comb Vase
- Yellow Striped Duvet
- Gray Striped Sheets
- Cobalt Blue Art
- You Are My Sunshine Art
- Florida Art
Um....LOVE this! You have awesome taste, but I already knew that. :) We did our room gray and dark brown, and I plan to add a nice pop of white and turquoise with a handmade (by me) quilt....if I ever get a chance to dedicate that much time to sewing one item.
ReplyDeleteThe bed you put in your mood board - nice selection. A bed like that is timeless! I purchased one very similar to that in a dark brown metal over 10 years ago - it's Freya's now. I love that I haven't had to do anything to it in all these years - and it's had a lot of use & gone through several moves.
Let me know if you need an extra set of hands refinishing something or decorating!
I like a lot! In fact, I have that Draper Ash bedding from DwellStudio for our guest room (and it's lovely). I actually painted the walls in that bedroom a cool purple-gray which was a great way to take the kinda yellow wood in the furniture (which was my bedroom set growing up) down a notch and it plays very well with both yellow and gray....just as that blue would.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, I think you're off to a great start and don't be afraid of color! The bolder, the better I say. :)
