Fun with Yellow..and Happy St. Pats!

First things first, Happy St. Pat's to you! And you! and YOU! I feel like I need to write a limerick or something... ha!
Second, did I tell ya I picked out my bedding?! I did! I did! Anyway, one of my fav bloggers over at A Blonde Ambition always features awesome designs, etc I love to drool over. That girl knows the best places to look for chic design ideas! Anyway, I decided to follow her lead and post some inspirational pics I found online for my room!

Background. My walls are now grey and my bedding is solid grey (a different shade of grey so it looks cool). Now before we go thinking it looks like a prison in there (Oh how I hope it doesn't), I added a pop of color from Target in the way of these pillows (2 of them!). (Dwell Studio for Target). The flowers are lined with white, so maybe white curtains? Eh?

Anyway, here are some fun yellow/grey combos... I dont want A LOT of yellow, but I think it "cheers up" the room and I love that b/c I'm a cheery person dangit! haha! ;)

Fun stuff! Hope everyone is having a great day!

Woah. Weird. The plans for our soon to be master bedroom....gray with yellow accents. I already have the gray and white duvet cover (from Crate and Barrel) and the yellow shams (from Pottery Barn). They've been sitting in storage since the wedding, just waiting to be used! Looks like we're going to have twin rooms! Love those pillows from Target...might have to pick a few up for myself!

I love the yellow/grey combo!! That's actually the feature of West Elm right now, so if you need a few other pieces of furniture/throw pillows/etc., check them out! Can't wait to see it all. :)

I love black,yellow, and grays all in one room. One of my other friends just did the same thing. I guess great minds think alike! Can't wait to see pics of the room when it's all done!

i am obsessed with yellow - it is my favorite color right now, especially yellow with a mustard flavor. i have bought three yellow blouses and i don't even care if it is not the right color for me.

awesome post! love the photos.
