Obrien's thursday

Thursday's special at Obrien's was a caesar salad and a cup of either irish cream coffee or hot latte.

One of the best caesar salads i have tasted. I love croutons and there were plenty of it served. The salad portion was huge too.

In addition to that, tf and i had the triple decker sandwich. Glorious sandwich, i must say. I'd rather have OBriens than Subway. I was sochungry that I managed to finish most of the triple decker and left a tiny slice for tf.

Tf wanted a pie

White, black and ...

YELLOW!

The colour of energy, sunshine and brightness.

It's difficult to ignore the high contrast colour scheme of white, black,  and primary yellow.    My personal preference is to have mostly white with hints of black and yellow, but the scheme plays out in different ways. You can tell from the images I've selected that it is a very contemporary look and not one you see often  in traditional decor.  A quieter look would be created if you substituted the black for gray- my all time favourite combination.  You can have a little or a lot of yellow through accessories. I've stayed away from the obvious choice of painting walls yellow which seems to be just too much yellow  for my taste.  Perhaps you disagree.
 How do you like yellow in......

This yellow is more toned but still effective with white and black.

Finding the right accessories finishes a space.  Imagine the tables in the two rooms above  without the hit of yellow.

Only yellow pillows in the bedroom and yellow flowers in the bathroom but it's enough to lift the spirits of these two rooms.

Yellow is a very commanding colour for chairs.  You certainly won't be ignoring this one.I love the way your eye moves from the chair to the art work and then to the accent pillows.  Perfect colour scatter.

White and black small mosaic tile with splashes of bright yellow to enhance it.  Lining the drawers with yellow is an extra surprise .

Don't forget the power of art to move a space from boring to exciting. This is one of my favourite images to show how art can lift any space to something special. 

Did you find inspiration in any of these rooms?  If you don't like yellow you could substitute yellow green, magenta, coral or turquoise.  

cerita kami


assalammualaikum..

saya tak tahu kenapa, lepas baca post kawan saya ni, rasa sesuatu. touching!! air mata bertakung. walaupun ayat yang dia guna simple, tapi terasa hingga ke hati. saya juga seperti dia, terlalu sayangkan kisah kami.

mungkin persahaban orang lain lebih hebat.. mungkin persahabatan orang lain lebih erat.. tapi saya sudah cukup berpuas hati dengan persahabatan kami.. saya tak perlukan kisah sehebat orang lain.. saya sudah cukup bahagia dengan kisah ini..

Ya allah.. pelihalah persahabtan kami, jadikan kami sahabat yang sentiasa menyokong satu sama lain, jadikan kami sahabat yang sentisa membetulkan kesalahan sahabat-sahabat kami, jadikan kami sahabat yang sentiasa mendoakan sahabatnya, jadikan kami sahabat yang saling mengingati sahabatnya tentang dunia dan akhirat, jadikan persahabatan kami seikhlas dan secuci persahabatan Kekasihmu dan sahabat-sahabatnya.
amin..

doa sahabat kepada sahabatnya insyallah didengari oleh Nya
