Mellow Yellow

As I said yesterday, the colors of fall have really inspired me.  So I decided to go with a bold choice for this next piece.  It's not a color I would not usually go for. But hey, you only live once right? 
With out further ado....
                                                                                            

I'm so sorry, I won't be able to say what color this is. It's a mix between two different oops paints that have no name on them :(



There aren't very many yellow pieces of furniture out there, so this piece is quite unique.
I think I love it.

    I definitely love it!! Wouldn't it look fantastic in a charcoal gray bedroom? I love the charcoal and bright yellow color combination.

    I love it! You are right that not a lot of people use yellow but I think it goes will with all kinds of other colors if you pick the right shade of yellow. Great job! What paint color and type did you use?

    You should love it. She's fabulous. So glad you took the leap out of your comfort zone and went for such a bold color. I really like the contrast between the painted bottom and the stained top. Well done.

    My bedroom is blue and yellow, so of course I love your dresser. So pretty and unusual. Seems most people are afraid of bold colors for furniture, but yours is very nice.

    LOVE, love, love this! The color is to die for! I almost painted my piano that color, but I ended up going with light blue since it was in the premixed "messed up" pile for way cheaper :]
