Case in point...
...the 100-year-old piano I picked up for $99 at Goodwill. Had to be painted YELLOW.
{Spike will now pose for you.}
Hubby out-of-town on business, I painted our bathroom grey...and added lots (and lots) of YELLOW.
And these cookies....
{They are supposed to be floral silhouettes, but let's be honest. They look like a cross between Lisa Simpson and a sea creature.}
The cookies are for a good cause, though...and I'm posting the tutorial over at Frosting for the Cause, sweet Paula's charity bringing bakers together to raise money for women's cancers. Come on over.

Yellow is my favorite color! Love the bathroom!
ReplyDeleteI love that you painted your piano yellow, it's so unexpected and fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat job using yellow, it all looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI've been loving yellow, too, lately! The bathroom looks amazing and the piano is spectacular!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat you've done with yellow in your home is so gorgeous!!! Sunny, warm & inviting!
ReplyDeletePosts like these make me 'heart' you all the more.
Adorable everything! LOVE the piano :)
ReplyDeleteI love yellow.. but I really love gray with yellow! Your cookies are adorable, and I love your bathroom.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you better delve into the world of interior design...perhaps a 3rd blog?!
ReplyDeleteI love the piano, the vase, how gorgeous the hydrangeas look against the yellow, and as you know, that PILLOW!
As for the cookies, I REALLY REALLY love the colors. And they DON'T look like Lisa unless you say that, and when you say that, it's funny, but they are still very pretty...
Cute house! I love the combination of yellow and grey! I've been a little obsessed with this color combo lately too. Yellow is one of those colors you have to do right for it to look good, and yours looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat piano is perfect in yellow. I had a girlfriend that painted a claw foot tub's outside yellow.....er, rather her hubby did.
ReplyDeleteWe'd gone to town to get supplies when painting her entire house's upstairs before they moved in........the BR was to be done in Mickey Mouse. When walking out the door, her hubby asked what to do with the yellow paint, she jokingly said it was for the outside of the tub. When we returned a couple hours later the tub was painted and it looked awesome!!
We still laugh over that. He was so curious to see how it would look he stopped what he was doing in the kitchen (installing new cupboards) and went up to paint the tub. HAHA, but it looked great and we left it that way!!!!
Love the yellow piano!!! I've always had a secret desire to learn how to play. I can't pass one without touching the keys...maybe one day...especially if its sunny yellow!
ReplyDeleteAnd...you've inspired me to pull out my star tips. haven't used one with royal icing since I was thirteen and decorated my first cake. The ENTIRE cake was covered with (hard as rocks) pastel stars.
Bridget!!!! it looks amazing!! oh my gosh that piano!!! Im dying!!!! I have a client who was wanting to paint hers white and she was asking how to do it. So I may need some tips from you!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE the bathroom!! girl you out did yourself!
Lets get together soon! I miss you!
I may need to come over and use your bathroom! So cute!!

ReplyDeleteLOVE THAT PIANO!! OMG.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate so very much you volunteering for Frosting for the Cause and I think your cookies you made and your tutorial on them are just wonderful. Thank you Bridget.
ReplyDeleteAs for your penchant for yellow...your piano and bathroom are making me green with envy. I love the piano and your bathroom is just adorable. Love your vanity door knobs. Sunshine all day long in your home :)
p.s. My husband worries a little every time he goes away, he's afraid he won't recognize the house when he gets back!
I lovee your piano!!! The gray + yellow color combo is great! And you're home seems so lovely!
ReplyDeletePRECIOSAS!

ReplyDeleteLove the piano. Love the cat on the piano (and, I don't really like cats;).
It looks great! In your first photo what is the paint color of the wall opposite the piano, it looks blue/green. Could you please tell me the brand of paint and the color. I just love the looks of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous beautiful house!!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so good!
ReplyDeleteLove it. I never liked the color yellow all that much until recently. I think the older I get, the more sunshine I need.

Yellow is an awesome color! And I love what you've done with it.
ReplyDeleteOMG...I love that piano!!!! And the cat on top of the yellow piano is priceless!
ReplyDeleteYou shop at Goodwill too? And the design savvy to paint a piano yellow? I think my stalkerdom just stepped up a bit....
ReplyDeleteI love it all! And gray and yellow is one of my favorite color combos. But oh that piano, it's just fabulous! Well done!!!
ReplyDeleteYellow is one of my favorite colors and it is in every room of my house although only 2 rooms are painted yellow. Love the yellow piano.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! And, if I might ask, what color are your living room walls painted? I am searching for an aquaish color for my kitchen (which has yellow cabinets). TIA.
ReplyDeleteI want your piano! The yellow looks gorgeous! No gloom and doom in your house.
ReplyDeletelooks FANTASTIC!!! & i'd love to know the paint colors too. i'm at a crossroads as to what to do w/ a bathroom & my living room, you've inspired me.

I just came across your blog, and I'm already dying to start some baking! I don't think those cookies look like sea creatures- more like cowboy spurs!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I love everything in your post and I am so excited about your piano. (The Goodwill near us?)
ReplyDeleteAwesome, awesome, awesome! And I know you have a special little guy to play that beautiful yellow piano and fill your home with lovely music!!
I LOVE the fact that while your hubby was out on a business trip you JUST decided to paint the bathroom grey and added yellow accents.. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the piano! I've been searching for an awesome paint job for mine! It's been almost a year, do you still love it?
ReplyDeleteYes!!! We still love it! ♥
DeleteI can't believe I missed this blog, but I love the yellow and your black and white kitty, Spike.....so funny, I have a black and white kitty named Spike as well. I rescued him from the shelter in 2007 when he was 2. He is my buddy, my companion, and I can't imagine my life without him. I thought Spike was such a different name for a big fluffy ball of fur, but you wouldn't rename a 2 years so I let him keep his name. He's part Maine Coon and his fur literally feels like a cotton ball, everyone is always so surprised how sift he is when they pet him. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled on this past blog of yours and see you have your own little fluffy Spike! :-)
