Cool Design

I love stalking blogs of designers and architects.  There are so many talented designers and architects out there. One of the things I'm amazed at is the ability to re-purpose something old. Here are a few of my favorites.

Yellow Love

I love the color yellow but am scared to put the bright bold color in the parts of my house that everyone sees. Instead, I reserve it for my bedroom where only I can enjoy it.  It makes me happy.

For a year I've wanted to paint my front door yellow but I just can't get up the nerve to do it.  All of my neighbors love me right now but I'm scared they won't if I paint my door yellow.  So I'll just share my love of yellow here.  :)

Can't wait for spring when nature will reveal her version of yellow.  :)
