I really am trying to like yellow. I am not sure why I don’t like it. It actually makes me feel nervous and uneasy. But then I see little accents of it throughout magazines and I feel myself wanting something in yellow. Not too much.
So, seeing as I am on the hunt for new bedside table lamps, I thought yellow could be used here! My bed is black and I have white and grey linen.
However, I have exhausted all my resources and have had no luck finding the perfect yellow based lamps. Not bright, not overpowering.
Maybe yellow and I aren’t meant to be….
Do you have colours that you just can’t warm to? Does anybody make lamp shades? Maybe I could get some made and this way I could change them if I start to get nervous at the sight of the yellow?
But you know, I am so much more awesome in real life over here: Katrina from The Block.

Paint Me White
Katrina your the same as me – I cannot stand the colour yellow. My husband actually ordered roses for a surprise on our wedding day and when I got them they were yellow. All the heads of the roses were like they had been snapped off. I called the florist and complained and they admitted their fridge was on the blink and they actually froze overnight. She soon replaced them with lovely red roses. Agree totally that some colour just make us feel yuck and this colour is one of those. By the way I re-cover vintage lamp shades so if you need some just yell out. Sandy x

I'm not a fan of yellow either! Don't mind the tone used in the first image though. Why not just add the yellow by the tone of the globe in the lamp, rather than the lamp base itself. Then if you decide you don't like it, you can just change to a white tone globe.
