Not so Mellow.......Yellow

We wait all year for the yellow of spring to peek up and say hello.

If you have a friend who could use some cheering up, drop one of these Small Comforts at their doorstep. Dress it up with a bit of giftwrap and ribbon. Simple.

The artist Bonnie Burger is the owner is of this Okanagan weekend retreat and used high colour in large strokes as the preferred design direction of choice. One of her large and exhuberant paintings anchors one part of the room while a yellow Bertazzoni range holds the other. A wood convent table from the 1890's introduces warmth into this not-so-clinical white kitchen.

There is an interesting addition to this room. The photograph is an enlarged version of a Paris photo that the owner had of his parents from their younger days. How cool is that mixed in with these modern lines? Two generations crossing together in one room.

A warm and velvety vibe. So beautiful and welcoming.
The above interior images are from the online version of House & Home, our Canadian design mag.

Please excuse any spelling errors while I go buy a real dictionary.The new blogger program has a  strikeout function but no spellcheck?????? Is someone sleeping over there in blogger land?
