I LOVE this post - the shot of yellow is so great in these stark, modern interiors!
a pop of yellow is one of my favs!
here is my living room:

Thank you for this inspiring collection of photos. Well done.
Lovely! We did a "bicycle yellow" accent wall almost identical to the Brazil kitchen and it truly brightens the room.
Wow. Beautiful. It's interesting how even the smallest amount of yellow can warm up the most austere room, and still look modern. What a fantastic photo essay.
So funny to see the images from X&L, Xander&Leon, the outdoor space used to be the garden of the office were I used to work and we had lunch everyday on that yellow bench during the summer...it's even more beautiful in real than in the image. The kitchen is their own private kitchen and we had some really nice dinners with them. They are absolutely the best interior designers in the world!! Thanks for showing them.

Beautiful color schemes. Did you use benjamin moore paints because the colors look strikingly similar to BM's natura series.
I agree it does look very similar to the natura series, check http://www.aboffs.com/paint.htm to see for yourself.
You're not fooling anyone with that spam, Mr. "Benjamin Morre" . . . or is that Mr. Aboffs?
It's funny - I think yellow works so well as an accent colour (as all these fantastic images prove!) but so rarely works as a feature colour. I've got yellow lamps, prints, vases - but I'd be wary going the whole hog.
Could anybody tell me the name of the yellow bedside lamp in the Martha Stewart photo? i've being trying to track down something similar for ages with no success!
