So as predicted, Jo-Jo shot down the color selection I so carefully made with a NO! Not even a kind, no, no et non. Just NO! I don’t want gray and Nantucket Red is too muted. The only other hint of a direction she’s given me is she wants the navy blue whale wallpaper I found on Instagram over a year ago, and I can no longer track down. Of course, she is adamant about that paper. It was very cute. She has a playful side – she likes a little tongue in cheek whimsy. I’m not trying to deny it to her. The Manse should be an expression of her personality…but for the life of me I can’t locate it. I keep presenting alternatives, to which she responds…NO…I want the whale paper. This may require divine intervention, or at the very least inspiration. Help!
The Chronicles of Home always has such beautiful style.
The plastering is complete and now I really need to pick the colors. I’ve turned to Instagram thinking I would find a clear direction, but while I many primary colors my natural inclination is to move toward softer hues. I fear if I mix it up too much, it will be a hot mess. Some of the colors should remain in the rainbow, don’t you think?
Cory Connor Designs right – gets an A+ for painting the baseboard and the molding in hot pink. One Kings Lane displays an array of colors that look beautiful together.
Left: Schumacher wall covering is the color palette I typically gravitate toward. Right: Is Christopher Farr’s wall covering that I am dying for.
The Every Girl . simply perfect uncomplicated beauty.
While I I still really love the kelly green, I have a feeling that it’s just a trend and my affection for it will pass. While paint is the least expensive, and most impactful of your styling options, it still costs money and requires a fair amount of disruption to change it. With that in mind, I’d like to get it right the first time.
My Bella Storia . who doesn’t like a polka dot?
In my search for that dang whale wallpaper, I came across quite a lot of inspiration. I only hope that one, or a combination of several of these will illicit a resounding YES – see, just like I told you…..
OKL . I LOVE PINK.
Happy Sunday.
