More from The Homestead. I thought this would be the last post, but it is going to take one more to get all the pictures up. This is only because my computer is. so. slow. and it takes about 3 hours to put together 1 post and by the time I have uploaded 10 pictures [...]

Ugh. Half of the pictures I took are apparently too big to upload. I really need to learn how to work my camera. More from my trip to The Homestead in Hot Springs, VA.
The Great Hall (I think that is the name… this is the main drag, although I doubt George Washington called it the [...]

The other day in my post Some Great Colors I mentioned the Benjamin Moore Color Palladian Blue. Here are a few pictures of the color in action. This is actually in my childhood room which my parents recently just redecorated. I love the color, my sister hates it and says it looks like it belongs [...]

I’ve posted before about my love for Pottery Barn Fan Decks… I am way behind on ordering them (a year behind, in fact). Just ordered the latest batch from them!
Speaking of Pottery Barn, I just ordered this Punch Bowl for a Christmas Party I am having, it is cute but very small…

I’ve mentioned them before but thought I would re-post since I just ordered the latest. Pottery Barn every season puts out a fan deck of its favorite Benjamin Moore colors. They are small little fan decks that are much easier to carrier around than, for example the massive Benjamin Moore Classic Colors Fan Deck. It [...]

I was at a local paint store the other day picking up a fan deck- I asked the dude who worked there (for lack of a better term- paint guy?) if Benjamin Moore was the paint they sold the most of. He said yes and that he wished it wasn’t so. He recommended C2 paint- [...]

I really love some of the spaces that were featured in December 2008’s Domino Mag (yes, I just got it in the mail).
These photos below are from the apartment of Domino Contributing Editor Nathan Turner. I love his whole apartment.

Navy Blue is my all time favorite color. I would kill [...]

Happy Day!
Pottery Barn’s Spring 2009 fan deck of their favorite Benjamin Moore Colors is available for purchase!
I always feel kind of silly buying them since I already own 3 Benjamin Moore fan decks (Classic, Color Preview and Affinity I believe) and the colors that PB picks out are in the BM fan decks I have. [...]

Lovely.
Love the beadboard. Always a winner.
Love the combo of light and [...]

The rumor is that you aren’t supposed to paint your kitchen blue. Blue is a favorite color of mine, but it wouldn’t be my first choice for my kitchen. The color blue is an appetite suppressant, the color red apparently makes you hungry.
Here is a link to some more info on the color blue and [...]

I wanted to share with you some of the fun things I picked up at IKEA this weekend:
Hedda Blad Curtains for my living room- I love them!
And the Ekarp floor lamp which I love even more:
I saw a lamp very similar to this one in this month’s Elle Decor by Comfort & Co. It was [...]

What could be better than a whole room with everything from Ikea?
My housemate just bought this lovely dresser from Ikea. The Hemnes Chest With 8 Drawers is a lot larger than it looks in the picture.
I think this Inger fabric would look absolutely lovely next to the dresser. The more I look at it the [...]

Historically, the boudoir formed part of the private suite of rooms of a lady, for bathing and dressing, adjacent to her bedchamber, being the female equivalent of the male [...]

I am going to start putting together furniture and accessories that I think would go well together. Here goes the first one:
The Paris Chair from Jeffrey Braun Furniture + The Andalusia Rug in Espresso from West Elm + Benjamin Moore Nob Hill Sage 450 for the walls (the actual color looks a lot different than [...]

So I was flipping through my Pottery Barn Spring 2008 Fan Deck of Benjamin Moore paint colors and I noticed this awesome blue: Benjamin Moore Electric Blue 2061-40. I was instantly in love… I did a google search and came to find out that was the blue painted in Carrie Bradshaw’s bedroom in the Sex [...]
