In fact, I recently put up some yellow curtains that I had custom made for my kitchen(<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><strong>yes, even though I’m moving and there’s a for sale sign outside</strong></span>) I am in love with them. I was inspired from a yellow handbag that I have. I had it on the kitchen table one day and thought, I really love how the yellow pops against the colour green that is in my kitchen. So, I took the handbag with me to the fabric store, matched it and placed the order for my curtains.  This was all before I decided to sell the house and build a new one( <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><strong>I will show pics of the curtains and of the progress of the  new house in another post</strong></span>). In any case, I made sure the measurements of the curtains would fit the windows of the new house.  Anyway, a little pop of yellow can do wonders to  enliven a space and add a wow factor; just like the sofa in the space above.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif635FE8PHmVoinBGeCl9PlbbWxyNAgwgGBHbpw3OcdwKHSIKHgtmZ7lO1Daq01PjFPzOGNkxIJFY2cgluiwBULeU4R3d4P6SqJtmgQKrgkZuVZvTh4Hjk2Sul3mwZ92muK_CDJJLBG6y1/s1600-h/Yellow3%5B5%5D.jpg"><img alt="Yellow3" border="0" height="669" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWs5MkvGZRa5OVVA8iProNPhvoY_IbYSuRj90ILLYx-AA_OI-_2opfscf1mu0HAlCp5iG2Y7zpp0LpbfBUuIFtQK6fu2ZelHbu6AhOTMyuN-EqSBo1wK4PUtG_FPiKMVcJnBmitW0Wad14/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Yellow3" width="684" /></a><br />This yellow door is perfect for the façade of the house.
