Not So Mellow Yellow

Since we've decided to keep the walls in the new condo primarily neutral, I plan on adding pops of color to keep it interesting. The condo has an open floor plan and I want to make sure that each space is defined. To define the dining area, I'm thinking of painting our chairs a bright yellow.

Here are some images that are inspiring me:




Here are our dining chairs as they are now. They were a craigslist find that we re-painted.


What do you think? Should I go for it?

  2. Love your dining room chairs, and I think they would look gorgeous in yellow (and that Jonathan Adler picture, with the chevron rug - WOW!)

  5. I'd love to know about your dining room table--is it expandable with extra leaves? Where did you find it, I love the mix-match look of the whole ensemble.

  7. I think painting the chairs a sunny yellow and pairing them with the zebra rug would look very close to the Jonathan Adler photo, which I love!!!! I say go for it!!

  13. Since the Zebra rug is already there, photo three looks like it could be it.
