West Elm Love

I know it's not very green of me, but there's just something about opening up the mailbox to find magazines and catalogs --especially home and interior design stuff (and of course the most recent Anthro catalogue!)  One of the most exciting ones that I've received as of lately is the West Elm March "In Bloom" catalogue.  The front cover features yellows and a beautiful yellow and gray ikat print chair.

Yellow and I have a thing.  We have a long history and we work well together.  Yellow makes a statement, spreads warmth and radiates energy.  Yellow can be bold or subdued, it is a harbinger of spring, and I'm so glad to see it still being featured so prominently in the home design industry.

Aside from the beautiful chair, there's this lovely dhurrie rug.  Inspired by a Moroccan trellis, this yellow and cool gray rug would be a perfect foundation piece to brighten up a living space.  

Or if you aren't quite committed to a rug, you could add a dose of it with this pouf!

Here at Chez Hicks we've been discussing the possibility of  new side table, and this little yellow shiny number might just fit the bill!  It's fun and playful, but sleek and modern.  I think it would work perfectly to round out the balance of new meets old.

West Elm has also been rocking out the yellow love on facebook. If you haven't already liked them on fb, and you're crushing as hard as I am on hues of yellow and marigold, I highly suggest you head on over and give them a "like".

They've been posting their dream house of the day with beautiful yellows like these:

                                     

West Elm also has a blog in case you want to head over and look at some of their other color crushes and dream houses of the day!
