color my summer YELLOW guest- taylor from maryjanes and galoshes

May 5, 2011

We love (love love love) today’s YELLOW guest- Taylor from Mary Janes and Galoshes.
We love her self proclaimed girliness…
…her seriously fabulous style (check out the MJandG booth above- so pretty, right?)…
…her fabulous party-putting-together abilities…
…and lovely pictures!
Perhaps our favorite thing about Taylor, though, is her ability to infuse bits of loveliness into everyday life. Seriously, the girl has a gift for taking normal, everyday stuff and transforming it into something beautiful (as evidenced by the way she continually turns simple office supplies into home decor)! 

A few of our favorite projects from the Maryjanes and Galoshes blog? 1- refrigerator chalkboard, 2- fabric covered binder clips, 3- anthro-inspired necklace, 4- vintage bingo marker tacks, 5- photo pencils, 6- butterfly wreath.
And we’re so thrilled that Taylor is here today as our Yellow guest for Color My Summer! YAY!



Yellow! I mean, hello….. I couldn’t resist! I don’t think anything says summer like the color yellow.  I have a bright yellow spring coat that makes me very happy after a long Wisconsin winter! So I’m very excited to have the color yellow to play with today for Color My Summer.

This summer I look forward to…. re-doing my deck and creating a usable space…. practicing my photography outdoors finally!…… trips to the zoo….. visiting the local botanical gardens…. farmers markets….. garage sailing (probably my favorite summer activity!)….. a picnic….. visiting the vineyards….. and ice cream of course!

When my husband and I bought our first house (which we recently sold) I didn’t believe in white walls.  Every room had color.  I love color!  Though my taste in home decor has drastically changed since then, I now use color in moderation, I still love vibrant colors.  I firmly believe they have the ability to effect the way you feel when you surround yourself with them.  As I mentioned, yellow is making me very happy and cheery lately.  I have even started painting my nails a bright sunny yellow which my husband finds quite interesting, but HEY, it makes me happy!

Enough about me…. your here for a project…. and I’m here to deliver!  Check it out.

Go see the summer-y, colorful tutorial here!

And be sure to check out Delia’s yellow goodness today as well!
