Lemon Zest

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yellow is a difficult color for me. I spent three of my twelve school-uniform-wearing years dressed in a yellow oxford cloth shirt that was very unflattering. You won't find any yellow in my closet these days, and very, very little in my home. However . . .  I do keep noticing the color - both in decor and in fashion. Even though I can't wear it or live with it, I can appreciate yellow for other people. What do you think about this sunny shade?</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNPOUdk6wVSQHNB2_-18vJxcWQv_uObFsIUxGuODEduO2egaF0y1oOcE6Ebly9GidyuKF8bReU2gQpDhTmMliYjk_b1h1yqUmYCIF6F_BW1e3TiiPXXim_xJ1zbuoVrflS_6IGZebKrlE/s1600/VER-Color-Yellow-Rooms-MwX2Vd-00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNPOUdk6wVSQHNB2_-18vJxcWQv_uObFsIUxGuODEduO2egaF0y1oOcE6Ebly9GidyuKF8bReU2gQpDhTmMliYjk_b1h1yqUmYCIF6F_BW1e3TiiPXXim_xJ1zbuoVrflS_6IGZebKrlE/s1600/VER-Color-Yellow-Rooms-MwX2Vd-00.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"A brilliant pigment of yellow frames the art-lined gallery of this Dallas home." </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interior design by Kelli Ford and Kirsten Fitzgibbons.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sconces, Paul Ferrante.
