Color Me Purple? Uh huh, uh huh....



I've decided that I need to take more leaps of faith lately. And so I go boldy forth into LAVENDER.   I'm going to paint my office nook Benjamin Moore Spring Lilac, good ol' number 1388. Executive decision. Yup. Those who know me well understand how extraordinarily difficult it is for me to commit to a Paint Color. Just Breathe.

I decided on this color because I was looking for something warm, playful, bold, and complementary to both the Graphic Poster and existing Blue Paint in the space. I've included my inspiration board for the color choice above.  

Here goes nothing... 

And yes, Pharell...that is all.

Happy Birthday To Me!



Well I have officially been 26 for exactly 11 minutes now...and I've decided to use my time wisely.  I have been pondering what I could get myself to celebrate this Birthday, and all of a sudden it came to me...the Complete Collection of Domino Magazine.  Of course.  Egads! It was so obvious!  

Favorite magazine of all time? Domino. 
Number ONE jealousy inducing reference when reading decor blogs? A Domino Collection.
Reason to be completely obsessed with Lonny because it's the same people? DOMINO.

So while it won't be easy to amass the entire collection of 36 Glorious issues...I begin my journey today.  

May the force be with me...
