Before we say goodbye to the Dandelion, I felt it important to share the fashion and style influence of our little weed! Take this Botanical Print for instance. Like Maps on a wall, this would be a great piece of art work for any room in your house!
The bright yellow paint on the wall is called “Dandelion” by Martha Stewart!
You might sleep better at night with this Dandelion print French bed.
Wall decals are so popular now. You can place them anywhere and when you’re ready to move just pull’m off the wall…so simple and fun!

Well, I don’t want to take the Dandelion options to far, like this fellow!
So until next summer ….
I’ll be lookin for you at the Dandelion Festival !!!
Nature is a spontaneous world market a bountiful tender of colors to inspire. This singular mustard colored tree utilizes the aqua background as a colorful narrative for all of us to enjoy and apply in our daily lives.

I especially love this monochromatic room!
A modern take on natures colors!
I don’t think I’d have any problem sleeping is this restful guest room!

These two Lemon Drop colored tables make for a very dramatic room. You can find tables like this at Target or WalMart for around $19. If they don’t have the color you desire, just buy a yellow can of spray paint! Works every time.
This Micahel Kors bright yellow bag is the perfect finishing touch to any summer outfit! Its so easy to look glamorous! A pair of khaki pants , crisp white blouse a yellow bangle braclet and of course the purse! Oh yes, don’t forget this seasons oversized sunglasses and sunscreen!
Lemons are such an easy way to dress up any table in your home and they last for several days! If you want the drama of a flower arrangement but not the cost, try something different, buy a bag of Lemons! Your house will have the clean scent of lemon verbena.
I love this beautiful Country Living Magazine photograph, its a shame they are no longer in business, I so loved every issue. Despite the downturns these days, its easy to make your very own Lemonade. Find a beautiful container in your home, you know the one in the closet you put away after you got married, pull it out , dust it off and fill it up with delicious Lemonade! Its all about the presentation!
Who doesn’t love Lemon Meringue Pie? I came across this recipe on a blog entitled : A Feather Adrift. You can find the link on my Blog list. What I loved most , even more than the fabulous recipe , was the title of the recipe, “Pie and Jesus” !!! I laughed out loud! Seriously! I say silly things like that to my kids all the time. For example, when it snows outside, I yell, “Snow and Jesus”! So you can see why this happy pie will find a comfortable spot on my summer table!
When I was reading all about the “Stylish” benefits of Lemons, I was unaware of the wonderful art of pickling lemons, its a delightful Moroccan delicacy! So I found this unbelievable recipe from Kevin Lynch. You can ask for the recipe at lynch.kevin@gmail.com - Looks to me like the perfect dining experience, zesty enough for the summer season! Let me know if any of you “Foodies” make it before I do!
So after you’ve set up your Lemon arrangement for the table, gathered up your yellow napkins and beautiful pitcher of lemonade , whipped up a lovely lemon “Jesus” pie and doing the finishing touches on your Moroccan Chicken. I seriously suggest, you stop and cleanse your face with a Lemon Mask.
A month or so ago, just for kicks I posted this photograph on my Face Book page asking the question, “Whatever happened to Style”? I couldn’t believe the response I got from both men and women. Honestly, I cannot remember the last time I encountered a beautifully dressed woman! It begs the question, whatever happened to the aesthetic pleasure of dressing beautifully. If Chic Elegance has disappeared, then how do we go out there and find it once again.
With the use of yellow its important to add a cool color to the mix . Taupe and grey tones are the perfect side kick.
Yellow is beautifully offset by classic black and white rooms.
A couple of garden stools make a huge fashion statement to any room.
First impressions are important, so why not paint the entry of your home this outgoing yellow! Everyone who walks into your home will be immediately uplifted!
There are so many variations of yellow. Go to your local paint store pick out your favorite shade of yellow . If you want to paint, then update a piece of furniture you already have or paint the walls. Either way, have fun bringing summer into your home!
