Yellow Walls

When we moved into this house, the living room was painted golden yellow...

...almost the same color as the carpet.

It also matched the design in the kitchen linoleum.

I would never have chosen that color - but I liked it. It works!

We have repainted the room several times over the years we've lived here, but always the same color.

What I find interesting is how often I find yellow walls in decorating magazine photos, like this one.

There is a quiet warmth and energy in yellow.

Here is another magazine photo...

In fact, if I had to paint my whole house only one color, it would be sunny, energizing yellow!
