Mellow Yellow

My favorite spot of my apartment is currently at my breakfast table. This is where I start the morning collecting my thoughts, following up on my favorite blogs, and sipping tea.  It is where I feel at piece and enjoy the silence of the morning. Of course, I am grateful to wake up especially with this pair of stellar Eero Saarinen style chairs! I am not much of a floral print person, but with this modular shape, they provide such a comforting, but chic dynamic to the 60's mod furniture that I just love. The graphic print just sweetens the idea of a breakfast table and the its purpose of providing a little bit of sunshine to start your day. 

I love this area because it has a very vintage element to it. I love the curves of the chairs paired with the legs of the table.  The chairs were a lucky steal on Craigslist for $40 each and the table was a purchase from Ikea for the purpose of an end table, but I like it better this way.

I feel so peaceful in this area and it takes me back in time to before I was born. It reminds me of a photograph you would see of She and Him in a set with the vintage feel and "folksiness of it."   The song, "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" inspired this look.

I love Zooey Deschanel of course and her retro, sweet style. Like her Cotton ad...

The crafty items make it more of a unique part of my home. I made these coasters that are bright and cheery. Stayed tuned to how you can do it yourself later.

Love these football mums! They are just a little snowball of yellow that give a hint of fall. I used a salvaged bottle of olive oil  for the vase. Saving your bottles and jars of cooking ingredients is a great way to save money and live a little greener ( I saved a marinara jar for storing extra buttons).
