Yellow Dining Chairs On My Mind
I know exactly how it began. Earlier this year, I fell madly in love with this room in Elle Decor. (This house is still one of my all-time favorites.)
Then I saw this room in House Beautiful:
(We’re ignoring the sea horses.)
And most recently, I was wowed by this room in Veranda:
What do they have in common? Yellow dining room chairs. I’m obsessed. It’s taking every bit of strength I have not to chuck my dining room chairs and replace them with yellow ones like these. I don’t know how much longer I can hold out . . .
On another note, thank you all for the amazing feedback on Friday’s post. I couldn’t believe the tremendous response and how nearly unanimous it was! Thanks, everybody!
You know what, I think it’s catching…!

stunning… gorgeous… light… airy and so very cheerful! I adore yellow and must admit I have never even given it a thought to use it in the dining room!

Saw mustard on another blog this morning – reminds me of a living room I painted in Gervaise Yellow (Farrow and Ball), not an easy colour to carry but it was fabulous.
I agree, best to ignore the sea horses!

Yellow chairs are yummy! Love!
Forget those yellow chairs! I want the yellow seahorse plaques!
They are bright and cheery. I love it. I love yellow when it is done right and these are done right…esp the first one. Love that room.

I really love the last photo… It’s the unexpected pop of yellow on the back of the chair … it’s not too much… just enough happiness to bring the room to life!

I saw that Veranda cover and that’s what had me decide to get mine done in yellow (well the bottoms anyway). Great post, I love yellow!

That first image is one of my all-time fav’s…the living room from that same house is also to-die-for. Love the yellow chair idea. They make for such a cheery home.
What did you decide re the fireplace!?

love the yellow! Where are you gonna put them? Don’t you already have white? I bet you have a formal dining room there, too? Fun…just more to decorate!
These are beautiful, especially the first pic.

Lorna: I’m a little obsessed with mustard right now too.
Stylish Bird: My favorite is their family room.
Milk & Honey: Yes, I’m talking about the dining room. What you’ve seen photos of is the eat-in kitchen and I’m not touching that. (At least for now.)
Yellow is my fav color and those are kick butt chairs-
Now I need to re-do my whole dinning room!

I’m rigth there with you, and Miss Killam who did her chair bottoms in yellow. I got easy chairs to upholster so I might try the same!

lovely. You crack me up about the seahorses. I do love them with the white but I am also a fan of bright colored chairs with an old farmhouse table. That’s always been my dream.

I {heart} those yellow chairs too. My favorite version is the one from Veranda. I’m with you…I would totally ditch my dining chairs if I could have those. xo, Cristi
oh yes, the yellow chairs are fantastic. i can see why they’ve been on your mind.

love the dining room in Elle decor. the link doesnt go to that particular house do you have a link to one of your previous posts for that house? I’d love to see it.
Bravo for the idea of the yellow chairs!
I am sooo tired of mushroom (very 2004) and grey … welcome back bright whites and sunny yellow.
thank you for the inspiration
