I already own this Black-Brown Bookcase and this Natural Cotton Twill Twin Sleeper Loveseat…

And I bought this new Natural Brushed Cotton Sofa over the weekend…

And these are a couple of things I’m thinking about…

with 2 of these Leather Storage Ottomans:

This is fun, but also gives me a little anxiety. My tastes are so eclectic and unpredictable…
Comments. Honest…

painting update…

I posted the colors I had chosen for my condo awhile back and have since done some painting and some re-thinking about color…

Painted Bedroom, no flash distortion Entryway + Hallway painted

Lingering Lilac and Porcupine Needles were a success!

I painted a small square of the Toadstool color on the living room wall and found it to be completely hideous. It was reminiscent of hospital walls, no joke. SO, I have chosen a new color, which will be my eventual next project.[URL=http://www.dunnedwards.com/retail/colorstrip.asp?Category=89&Content=0&colorid=DE+6106&action=setmember]

    Pale Wheat

The computer screen doesn’t do it justice, but it’s really yummy. A simple, warm neutral that will be able to handle my everchanging sofa pillow tastes.

let the painting begin

My first major project for my new condo is paint…

I have chosen the colors and am very excited to get the samples and try them out.

For the living/dining room area is [URL=http://www.dunnedwards.com/retail/content.asp?Category=89&Content=0&colorid=DE+5645]Toadstool[/url] which has the slightest hint of pastel green in it.

For the hallway/entryway is [URL=http://www.dunnedwards.com/retail/content.asp?Category=89&Content=0&colorid=DE+6033]Porcupine Needles[/url] which is a warm neutral brown.

For my bedroom I’m using [URL=http://www.dunnedwards.com/retail/content.asp?Category=89&Content=0&colorid=DE+5959]Lingering Lilac[/url] which I pulled from the pillows on my bed.

I can’t wait to see these on the walls. Click on the color name to take a look!
