Making a house a HOME!



I finally figured out what color I want to paint the office
(after countless trips to Lows to find the right paint! UGH!)
I'm sort of basing the whole room around these photos:



and these curtains: that match the pillow in Bobbie's house,
which is where she shot the photos above.
(How lucky to find the exact pattern of the pillow in curtains!!!)

The color in the room matches the teal in the curtains,
which match the pillow in the photos of Conrad...Perfection!


Everything else in the room is black and white,
so I think it will clash really nicely.
If everything were too matchy-matchy,
it would be boring!

Plus, I think the teal goes with the knobs on my desk.
Win win situation!

I originally wanted to paint the room mustard yellow,
but the curtains are mustard...so that doesn't work.
I'm determined to paint something mustard!

Stay tuned!
