Open House Sunday

Follow the Yellow Door!
 built 1929 
in the Morningside addition of Atlanta
This old tudor has been modernized with bright color choices.
 
 Look how fun and inviting the front door is to this place - complete with gray and yellow awning.
 You step into the sun porch.
 I love how they mixed traditional with bright pops of color along with neutrals to create 
a modern and fun but still tasteful home.
 The yellow and gray color scheme continues into the front living room.
 Just enough yellow to make it a happy place.
 
 The yellow continues into the dining with the rug but the rest of the room goes cool blue.
 Love the art propped on the chair rail.
 I love that they did a nice classic kitchen in this home instead of something very modern.
  The sitting room off the kitchen has pops of orange.
 A single man friend of mine recently bought an orange sofa without consulting me. 
Everyone told him he'd made a mistake.
He loved it and just bought cause he liked it but then was regretting the decision because everyone told him he should have bought neutral.
I told him not to worry, we'd make that orange sofa work in his apartment.
We'd add neutrals around it and it would be amazing. Which it is.
I think this orange sofa is perfect in this room.
 
 
Love the bright paintings on the wall in the stairway.
 Notice the brightly colored fish in the aquarium? They fit right in with the color scheme of this home.
  Tranquil bedroom with bits of color.
 A pretty little bath.
 The outdoor space has nice details too. Notice how the garage is surrounded by lots of 
potted containers? 
That makes the driveway appear to be an extension of the patio instead of just a 
place to park your car.
