Yesterday it rained. All. Day. Long.
So, I really needed to brighten things up and went in search of something sunny! Love this darling renovated bungalow in Raleigh, NC that I came across via Country Living. It’s pure sunshine!
Designer and resident, Ann Nicholson, was downsizing and wanted to make the transition fun and happy. I can relate. This is how I felt when I moved from North Carolina to New York…and I am about to do some renovating myself.
So, here’s to looking at things “sunny side up”.
What colors make you happy?

I like touches of yellow as there is no denying its "happy vibe" and it certainly is uplifting. I don't think I could personally do a yellow room but pops of it here and there brightens up and adds a little sunshine to any room! Good luck with your renovating, enjoy your day!
I love infusiing pops of bold yellow in a space, it is happiness and chicness! The yellow front door is fun, welcoming and adds to home's great curb appeal. Good morning sunshine!
Pale yellow walls make me happy.
Yellow and sky blue.
Loving this, esp that first house! Gloomy today too…love the Monday morning pick-me-up! thanks, Elizabeth! xo
Now "Good Day Sunshine" is in my head, but sadly not outside my window! Need all the sunny inspiration I can get over here today!:)
Great cottage! Our upstairs hallway is a sunny yellow and always looks cheerful with the morning sunshine!

Yellow is so happy – I think I may have to wear a yellow dress today to combat the rainy Monday blues.
Good luck gearing up for your renovation. How exciting!
I love yellow! I had a yellow bedroom for years and it made me happy as soon as I opened my eyes.
I especially love yellow and grey with touches of eggplant.
It's a rainy Monday here today too. I love yellow because it's as if the sun is always shining. I have a yellow kitchen and love it! So excited to share your post tomorrow!! xo
I love the idea of a yellow door! So fun!
This home is lovley! I used to have a yellow living room.. very cheery on a winter day.
Blessings~
These rooms scream happy! The bike says join my happy ride. Yellow laughs outloud and says enjoy this day its a gift!
Have a make a difference Monday!
XO,

Love that bright yellow. Beautiful.
Loving this sunny inspiration on this gray day!! At least the rain has abated for now. Looking forward to seeing the sun again soon!!
I love little accents of yellow! We don't really have any in our house because they painted all the rooms a yellow-based cream, so that might be too much. But I love the yellow door- unexpected and fun!
Cheerful , cheerful, cheerful.
That is why I always like visiting your blog.
