the house // monday sneak peek

g's room is coming right along . . .



the color is martha stewart kalamata olive, and it is pure gloriousness.
it looks sort of blue in the bottom picture; the first is more accurate.

remember my inspiration? we're still in need of many things
- four poster bedframe
- bedding (that she hasn't been using since she was 6)
- side table
- second suitable lamp
- seating
- dresser
- art
- possibly ceiling paint

you know, not much. just a few things...

    the colour is AMAZING! You're off to a great start (colour is always the hardest part for me. The rest always seems to fall in place afterwards)

    THANKS, all! Choosing a color is so tricky...so wonderful to hear resounding yesses.

    For those that are unawares, G is my 11-year-old (step) daughter. The room is hers first and foremost, and will act as a guester when necessary. So it has to do two jobs. I'm lucky she is so easy-going AND has great style!
