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!
I love everything in that first picture!!

Loving those yellow chairs! What a great pop to the room, esp. the first pic. Thanks!

Haha, I agree with Will!
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.
Yellow is such a happy colour!
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!
And now they’re on my mind. Gorgeous. Love the ones with the yellow backs especially!
love yellow! yellow chairs are so pretty!
Thanks for pointing out my error. I knew that she is female because i read the about page, but i was writing that post at almost midnight lastnight with heavy eyelids:-). Hopefully, i didn’t offend her:-) xx
I have a yellow kitchen, and I’m really obsessed…LOVE these!!
wow, I fell in love with the first image…
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
