Good Question: Yellow Accents

GQ-yellowaccentsQUAD.jpgJeanie wrote us an e-mail, "I have two daughters sharing a room (ages 2 and 6) and I am jazzing up their room a bit. I would love to find pillows, lamps and the like in a vibrant yellow color but oddly enough am having a hard time finding any nice ones. Any ideas pointing me in the right direction would be awesome. Thanks!"

We found a few things but of course, we're certain our readers will provide a plethora of other choices. Nothing feels as nice on the feet as walking on a Flokati rug and this yellow one from from Target, $69.99, is sure to give some punch to your room. To add a fun element to your girls' room, how about CB2's Overnight Table Lamp, $69? This kooky little lamp will have kids giggling -- especially those who love tents and camping.

The 8 x 10 open edition print Bees Print, by ConstantDreamer, is one of those Etsy finds that has you yelling, "YES!" For as much as we love that print, our favorite part is the price, only $20. Finally, we like Myakka City Pillow's Butterfly Garden pillow, $34, which has a great 70s vibe to it.

So readers, what else can you add to this list?

I am in love with yellow lately. I just painted my baby's nursery bright yellow. However, most people I've told this to have gone, "Yellow? Why not pink/green/blue/lavender/any non-yellow color possible?" I didn't realize there's so much yellow hate until now.

I would buy something with good lines off craigslist or from a thrift shop and then go wild with spray paint. We just bought a large ornate mirror off of craigslist for $40 and painted the frame an awesome shade of aqua.

There is a lot of yellow hatred out there. I've read about decorators going on about how yellow paint is very difficult. Uh, how? Not any harder than any other color, in my opinion. I'm panting my nursery yellow, and I'm going to dress my daughter in it as well. Such a happy color!
