Colour

The past few weeks/days have been filled with me decorating my tiny condo in my mind.

I can do that. I can rip out my cabinets, white wash them, put them back up and install shiny glass knobs on every single one. Cause they're mine.

Sorry. I don't mean to brag. It's just that not until recently did I realize I can actually paint and splatter just like I've always wanted to and no one will take my security deposit away, because there isn't one.

There are downsides. Like my broken thermostat. I have to buy and install a new one all by myself. Also, any and all renovations are charged to bank of Molly which is not FDIC insured.

I'm trying to focus on the positive.

Paint colors.

It's taken me FOREVER to pick paint colors. To me once those are in, everything else will tell me how it wants to be. Like throw pillows, linens, art work, candle holders, doorknobs....you get it.

I went ahead and painted my bathroom because I felt like it would shove me in the direction of truly making my space my own. I painted the bathroom Marlboro Blue by the lovely Benjamin Moore. All my paint will be Benjamin Moore. They have the best colors w/out ordering from specialty stores (in my opinion).

Here is the color (not in my bathroom):


I have no idea who Donegall is or what episode 2018 is. 2018:Donegall kind of sounds like it would be a BBC show about a man named Donegall, ex-military, who is the only man left on earth roaming around a demolished England with only his military ration of food in a small gunnysack. Maybe that's just me though.

I also finally picked colors for my living room/bedroom/kitchen/office. The accent will be this beautiful Galapagos Blue:



Thank you Domino Magazine for taking that lovely photo. Someday you must come back to us. I miss you Domino....I like, miss you a lot. I'm staring at your book on my coffee table right now thinking about all of our good times.

The rest of the walls will be a lovely shade of Moonlight White:



I think this pic is from Domino too. My goodness. This economy sucks...Domino....:(

I'm slowly realizing that maybe the bathroom color doesn't go with the rest BUT too late now. I'll make it it's own little thing with it's own little color scheme, call it an oasis and no one will know the difference.

Let me know if you want to help paint the rest of my place. Jandy will appreciate it. And I will too. :)
