Color Me Mine
Lethargy resulted not only in a lull on the blog for the past two weeks, but a brief halt on all things on the home front. Laundry piled up, suitcases remained unpacked, thank you notes were much delayed, and decorating projects lagged. After falling asleep early last night, even for me, I woke up this morning, surveyed the seemingly unfamiliar surroundings and state of my home and began rebooting. I sorted stacks of mail and swiffered up a storm.
But even after generally resuming order, the corner of my bedroom is still stacked with forgotten rolls of fabric and samples, meant for projects that were shelved in my mini-recess from the decorating frenzy that consumed the fall. Determined to resume after this recent bout of winter listlissness, I’m starting with the paint project that has been most daunting. With help from Lisa, my design idol and co-owner of Nest, I’m down to a few options for the living room that are derived from the damask wallpaper in my entryway.
Just having returned from Puerto Rico, I’m favoring the warmer gold and tan colors to set off the aqua in my curtains but these greenish blues are a bit more daring, while still offering calm and consistency with the color palette in the room so far.
I’ll be bringing home more paint samples tomorrow and playing around a bit, please chime in with any and all input or inspiration!
