Canary-Yellow on a Rainy day

It's been a dreary, rainy day here in So Cal, so I'm snuggled inside adding some spring color to my home.

I scored this fantastic canary-yellow birdcage from work. {This is what you saw in my last post with the tulips tucked inside.}  I work for a children's clothing company and we use a lot of vintage prop's for displays around the shop. So when it came time to get rid of some of the prop's they've had for a while, this one came home with lucky me!




I tucked a few vintage French goodies inside.


I added some lovely pink tulips to the mantle. Tulips are becoming one of my favorite flowers this season.




Changed up a few things in my bedroom as well and added the red monogrammed grain sack to the bed for some much needed color amidst the all white bedding.


The only way I can get a semi-full bed shot is to take it through the mirror. My room is quite small and my lens isn't very wide.


**I've been working on a little treat for you all, that will hopefully be ready in April.
I'll let you know more about it once it gets closer to the time.
Wishing you all a beautiful weekend.
Sincerely,
Melinda

  1. Hi Melinda
    we have a winter wind storm here today but no rain yet.
    I love the color of yellow. I am really drawn to yellow this year and have been trying to pick up things here and there with that cheery color.

    Your home is always so gorgeous and inspiring.
    I need some energy to get up and do something around here. But B was up at 3 am this morning...I think I am done for today ;)

  4. Everything looks so beautiful Melinda! I love that piece of wood with the rosary above the bed... very pretty and soulful. A friend brought me some tiny daffodils this week and it just whispered 'spring' in my house, until we got 6 inches of snow last night! :)
    Have a wonderful weekend! love, t.xoxoxoxo

  6. Your post was so bright and cheery! It was nice to come home and see it after a cold day "inside" Country Roads. We are both SO alike when it comes to our fresh flowers. I love the tulips. I may have to pick some up on Monday when I'm at Trader Joe's. Hope everything is well for you and your family and my hopes are you are happy working and life is treating you well!

    Take care my friend. . .
