So I’m lightening things up in the living room for spring and I have some new pillows to share with you. Well 1 pillow today since I want to wash my white slipcovers before putting my other new pillows on that seating. I bought a pretty aqua chevron pillow cover at Hobby Lobby a while ago and I wanted to make a really big yellow ruffled rosette for the center but we have been so busy working on our deck (what a huge exhausting project) that I just never had time.

So for the time being I made a little rosette from some yellow toile fabric and am calling it good because otherwise this pillow would never see the light of day!
The lampshade is from Target – their Threshold line – which I really like since so many things are yellow. 🙂
A yellow lampshade does not give off much light! But it’s ok because this is the lamp I leave on at night and it emits nice soft glow now that it has a yellow shade. It’s on a swing arm lamp that I got at the thrift store many years ago (used to be gold and I spray painted it white).
Some pretty faux spring flowers
A little corner fluffed for spring!

April 28, 2014 at 9:46 amI love the lampshade, and the bright sunny yellow corner. I never see lampshades that cute at Target, I swear you get different merchandise down there in Georgia than we do in Michigan!
Manuela says
April 28, 2014 at 7:57 pmThat’s weird! You’d think they had the same things at every Target, but then sometimes people post things they get at Michaels and mine doesn’t have it. That lampshade was $15 which isn’t bad for a cute lampshade.

April 28, 2014 at 10:34 amVery pretty corner, Manuela! I love how your eye goes up to the yellow in the cabinet behind the chair, too.

April 28, 2014 at 10:53 amThis post is making me smile like a field full of dandelions. Good heavens! Why have I never thought to spray paint an old lampstand before? I have one just like that…it’s high brass and I hate it, but I am liking yours!
Manuela says
April 28, 2014 at 7:55 pmOh yes, so easy to paint. Just tape of the socket and have at it!

April 28, 2014 at 6:22 pmLove your pillow with rosette. You made a really pretty rosette using the yellow toile. I have no luck making the rosettes like yours, ends up looking like something I strangled, lol. Your post is great, love the lamp shade and swing arm lamp. I’ll have to look for one of those lamps at Habitat or Goodwill. Love old style painted. Your shade is so pretty with the pillows and table. Nice quick easy spring updo huh?
Happy days
Manuela says
April 28, 2014 at 8:01 pmIt took me an hour to make that rosette! I tried making a bigger one but just didn’t have the patience to mess with it – maybe another day. They’re really not as easy as people make it seem when you look up tutorials!
Melissa says
April 28, 2014 at 7:39 pmLovely details that you have changed up for Spring, but then your house always look so nice and crisp and fresh. How are the plans coming along for selling your house?
Teresa says
April 28, 2014 at 7:56 pmI love that pillow, it says ‘sunshine’ to me!
Cathy says

Pamela says
April 28, 2014 at 10:22 pmI continue to LOVE your yellow slipper chair! Then for you to pair it with the lovely aqua pillow! Its a feast for my eyes. Love your style girl! Such sweetness!
Manuela says
April 29, 2014 at 12:14 pmHi Pamela, Thank you! I love that chair too and I’m loving aqua with yellow this spring!
Mindie Hilton says
April 29, 2014 at 8:51 amI love it! It actually matches the bedding I just got. I bought a chevron turquoise reversible floral comforter set. My room is turquoise and yellow. Please come share at the Anything Goes linky, if you have not already.
Manuela says
April 29, 2014 at 12:12 pmWell I’m loving that color combination! Thanks so much for stopping by and the invite.
Bess says
April 29, 2014 at 12:08 pmYour pillow, chair, flowers and lampshade are all so cute, Manuela! That whole corner area just looks so refreshing and inviting. Blessings, Bess
Manuela says
April 29, 2014 at 12:12 pmThank you so much! I’ve always liked yellow (almost all my walls are yellow), but I’m really loving it for spring this year! Thanks for stopping by.
Ginnie says
April 29, 2014 at 12:43 pmSo pretty and springy! I love yellow at this time of year:)

April 30, 2014 at 12:23 amSuch a bright and cheerful corner! I need some new pillows for my porch. You’ve inspired me once again! Mimi
Melanie says
April 30, 2014 at 4:20 pmI am totally loving this spring corner! The touches of yellow are just perfect. How clever to make a rosette for your pillow. Did you say this isn’t the “permanent” one?! I think it looks gorgeous!
Manuela says
April 30, 2014 at 5:18 pmThanks so much Melanie. You’re always so sweet! No it’s not permanent. I had a hat pin? A long pin with a cute decorative top (you can see it in the center of the rosette) and I just used that. So I can take it off when/if I get around to making the bigger rosette I was planning on making at first. Or if I just get tired of that look (I’m sure safety pin would work too).
