It’s National Yellow Day!  That is a lie.  There is actually no such thing as National Yellow Day.  However, there is a National Yellow Pig Day. But we missed it; it was in July.  Next year we’ll celebrate real big, I promise.  That is also a lie.

But I will declare today the Official Day of That One Day When I Showed Some Yellow Makeovers on Better After Day.  I’ll wait while you get your party hats on.

All set? Here we go!

Jenny at Ava Blake Creations dolled up this table with some distressing and a French patisserie graphic, all warmed up in a soft buttery shade of yellow. Tres chic!

Hey, can we talk about So You Think You Can Dance for a second?  I’m so happy Ricky won!  I had him pegged from the beginning.  Can we also talk about Valerie getting second place?  Over Zack AND Jessica?  *eyebrows of unbelievableness* I might have punched my sofa.  But Ricky totally deserved it.

Back to the yellow:

If you have some old side tables, why not paint them yellow?  They will look so great with your blue couch. You have a blue couch, right? That’s what I thought.  Head on over to Lisa’s blog  Pebbles and Piggytails to find out her sneaky cheat for ‘distressing’ their edges.

Cabinets without feet are sad.  Most things without feet are sad.  Except dolphins.  They don’t have feet, and they aren’t sad at all –  just evil.  I said it.  But this cabinet was looking a little glum in it its footless state, so Lisa added some cheer with bright yellow, a geometric overlay, and new feetsies.  See it at Sweet Parsley Home.

So now we know that the easiest way to take furniture from boring to sha-POW, is yellow paint.  Give it another dose of POW with some adorable knobs like Karin from Art is Beauty did here. Sha-POW-POW! That sounded much cooler in my head.

And finally, last one from Sarah who brings us this charming vanity makeover, and her lovely assistant who is lurking not at all creepy-like behind it. I’m kidding. I’m sure he’s a very nice and helpful guy and not going to tie you up with that garden hose. No seriously.  I’m sure he’s very nice. This is just what you get when I write posts at 1AM in the AM.

You can see more at Funcycled, and I am going to go see the insides of my eyelids right now.

Happy Friday!
