This amazing 300 acre sunflower field is located just north of Baltimore on Clear Meadow Farm. It’s quite an image, and it inspired this post on Yellow and Brown spaces.

A Yellow and Brown color scheme has a definite, casual, retro vibe {think harvest-yellow appliances and dark brown paneling of the ’60′s and ’70′s}.  However, this color scheme can also be very elegant.

    I have always loved this color combo. Thanks for sharing beautiful photos.

    Always a favorite for me as well as with gray. Even though yellow has been the big “it” color lately, I still think it can be timeless. Good yellows are hard to find so I tend to head towards the golds. Such lovely pics!

    The person in the sunflower photo looks very distressed – possibly lost? Can too many sunflowers be a bad thing!? Good to see a more attractive twist on the dreaded ‘harvest yellow’ you mention – know that scourge well!

    I’m not so keen on this colour combination. Yellow is such a summery colour but needs to sit with the right colour and `i’m not convinced that brown is the best one. I agree with Marie that yellow looks good with grey.

    All of these photos are amazing! I could do without the funny person wiping their forehead in the sunflowers, but who am I to critique such a lovely photo of an amazing group of farmed flowers. Wow!

    When I read your post title, my first thought was 70s!! But these rooms really have a 2000′s vibe — except for maybe the first one with the wallpaper!! The bedroom in the last picture is my favourite.

    I bet that field of sunflowers is awesome to see in real life :-)

    Nice color combination.

    The yellow color is the most color i don’t like.
    But with your combination i can see that the yellow color could interesting too.

    Good idea.

    Thanks
