I’ve been staring at one of my chairs lately.
It has been trying to tell me something.
I think it is telling me it wants to be yellow.
Does your furniture ever talk to you?
A Yellow Chair
March 4, 2011
Great post! Loved reading everyone’s furniture dialogues. Sometimes I think my leather couches (couch, love seat & ottoman) still have hurt feelings because our cat managed to claw each piece was he was young and unwise…
All the time!! Nothing like breaking out a brush and giving something a brand new personality….go for that yellow chair girl!

Yes, my furniture does talk to me. It says sell, sell, sell.
Purge and make some place here!!!
How cute. I love the pop of color.
I bet it is telling you it wants to be yellow. Yellow is happy color, and chairs like to be happy too!

Absolutely! As do the walls,hahaha. Am soooo tickled to see you enjoyed Ruthie Sommers in HB too! I quoted her in my comment to a post about decorating to make us happy a week or so ago–from that article via her home tour. It was just so happy & _colorful_. Aaaahhhh. My dream decorator,along with Jeffrey Bilhuber. I had said in the past that the “old” decorators were fearless about color in their homes, like Diana Vreeland’s “Red Room”.And I wish I could remember the mag even,much less the issue, with a tour of MaineCottage’s founder’s home. Breathtaking color. Natural woods. Neutrals? Slipcovers.
Would freak out a lot of people. It was one of the historical icons’ photos of an aubergine lacquered dining room that put me on that kick,and I havent chgd my mind in a year, down to blotches of paint samples&draped fabrics. So yep the furniture speaks. And the rooms themselves. Am dying waiting for health&or funds to get moving so I can!
You have posted my all time fave kitchen. I have always loved and wished for the combination of yellow, blue and white in my life. I don’t have furniture that speaks to me, but I can hear it calling me from afar. At the moment the sound is extremely faint…but I have to faith that I will hear it more loudly and clearly in the coming years. Have a sunshiney day!
