Mellow Yellow

I am happy to announce that I am pregnant with baby number two! And now that my morning sickness is subsiding, I’m smiling again and the pep is back in my step!  In about two weeks, I’ll learn the sex of my baby. I cannot wait to get this nursery makeover underway. I hope you’ll follow along as I flip flop between design ideas, select colors and search high and low for more inspiring decor.

In the meantime, I’ve been dreaming up gender-neutral design boards in my head and a buttery yellow is calling for me.  I’ve been searching for everything and anything yellow. I eventually had to stop and ask myself, “If yellow is so mellow, why is it so aggravating searching for fabulous yellow inspired nurseries on the worldwide web? And why are some people telling me that a yellow room represents depression? Here are few inspiring designs that are certain to delight both baby and me.

    Hi! I love the picture of the room with the yellow stripes on the ceiling. Would you be able to find out where that dresser is from? I’ve been looking for a dresser for my son’s room, and I love that navy/black one!
    Thanks!

  3. […] a million different ideas, but ultimately I circled back to my very first love of YELLOW as blogged here when I announced my pregnancy. And all of these rooms…. Photos via Domino, Sharon Taylor […]

    How funny… I’ve visited your site for inspiration for my nursery and was just going to submit the finished room for your Real Rooms gallery… when what do I see in your blog post but my pics :) That’s my room I submitted for the Benjamin Moore contest. You can see the transformation of the room, and new pics of the finished window seat, on my blog ramblingrenovators.blogspot.com.

    Congratulations on your news! Whether boy or girl, I think yellow is a perfect nursery colour. Its a sunny backdrop with the morning light and a soothing space at night with the curtains drawn. And it works well with so many other colours. Can’t wait to see what you end up doing with your nursery!

  20. Congratulations! I, too, was inspired by the Jenna Lyons (black,white, yellow) nursery in Domino for my gender-neutral baby room. The utility of being able to raise our babies in the same nursery was highly attractive. In fact I recently featured my finished product on my blog (www.charmcitybaby.blogspot.com). Feel free to take a peak.I “shout out” PN all the time.

  22. Congratulations, Melisa! I am so happy for you!! I LOVE the yellow! The Serena & Lily room is one of my favorites….pink & yellow…YUM! I will be looking forward to seeing what you come up with! Whatever it is will be fabulous, I’m sure!

    Love the yellow! Looking for yellow crib bedding myself but it so difficult to find and nice bright modern yellow!

  24. avatar AEOT says:

    Many congratulations! I love hearing such wonderful news. Yellow is a great color for a nursery, and I love the yellow and white striped ceiling above! How wonderful to look at and how visually stimulating when lying in a crib.

  25. avatar Beth says:

    Congratulations Melisa!!!! How exciting. Great choice with the yellow and I know your baby’s nursery will be stylish and unique. I truly love the bright yellow with black nursery in today’s post!

  26. avatar Jessica says:

    Congratulations Melisa!! How exciting! I love yellow and think it is really fresh and different in the nursery sea of pink, blue and green (especially the yellow in that nursery photo you posted). Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

  27. Congratulations!! I love the yellow rooms! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

    Congratulations on your lovely news! ..
    Yellow is one of my favourite Nursery/Baby colours and blends beautifully with Pink or Blue so whether you have a boy or a girl your accessory additions will just add to the beauty.. I never think of Yellow as depressing , quite the opposite I think of it as sunny and delightful, bright and fresh
    Whatever you decide to do I’m sure it will be inspirational xx
