Pin It Wednesday- Carolina Sun Yellow

 

It's Pin It Wednesday and it's time to celebrate Carolina Sun Yellow!

We are searching the amazing art all over Pinterest to find images of the nature that inspired this paint in the first place.  We are collecting them all onto new boards at Pinterest.  If you have images of nature in these colors, please share them with us!!  You can email them to us, post a comment with a link to your website, or share them with us on Pinterest. We want to see color in nature!

Carolina Sun yellow is inspired by the gorgeous yellows that abound in two US southern states. 

The Carolina Jessamine vine is the state plant of South Carolina. It grows all over wild and free, and is a perfect shade of yellow!

The other inspiration for CeCe Caldwell's Carolina Sun Yellow is the sun! The paint takes on the yellows and oranges of the glorious sunrises over the Atlantic Ocean.

 

Stop by the Funky Fresh Pinterest page to see more images of Sun Yellow flowers and sunrises from the Carolinas, as well as furniture painted in this vibrant color.

Funky Fresh Tuesday

This week's Funky Fresh Tuesday has two new pieces, and a recap of what's gracing the new store waiting for you to take it home!

This simple box was just that, a box.

Then it got cleaned up and given a coat of CeCe Caldwell's Michigan Pine paint, a new knob, and voila!  A perfect cabinet, bookshelf, or nightstand!

This little purple children's chair is so subtle it hasn't gotten much notice.  It's upcycled in New Orleans Purple and is ready for the kid in your life!

The following items are from previous Funky Fresh Tuesdays.  Check out the old pictures in the links, or just stop by Funky Fresh and see them in person!
