Friday Flickr Favorites {and living room inspiration?}

Still on the house hunt...nothing new to report just yet. But today I want to focus on our future living room. For quite sometime now I've been loving the yellow, gray and cream/white color scheme. Yellow is of course my favorite color but I definitely appreciate it in small doses {i.e. accessories and art work) creams/whites will brighten up our future space and I think gray adds that certain interesting-ness to a living room.

I found this living room the other day and I think it does a good job of using the yellows and creams but has more browns and chocolates rather than grays - which would be easy to work with since a lot of our furniture is brown/tan. And I really, really love the dark wood floors with the white walls - just replace that pup with a little black and tan puggle and we're home!



So with that image as inspiration - I was on the hunt for a similar color scheme in this week's Flickr Favorites....clickity click!

Another crazy idea I have is to keep the yellow, gray and cream color scheme but add pops of brilliant red here and there...which I pulled right out of our engagement photos...wouldn't this look nice on the wall of our new living room?

What are your thoughts? Love it? Hate it? Is yellow and gray so last year?

Love the grey, cream and yellow combo. With a pop of red it could really be fun! Can't wait to see what you end up putting together! xox

I love it. And if you do a pop of red you can always change your mind later. So much goes with yellow/gray.

Sorry I've been MIA things have been crazy!
