monday again??

how lame is that title?

i find though that if you emphasize it like a whiny 80's sitcom character would it instantly becomes funny...

observe..

"monday agaaainnnnn???"

(laugh track)

we've had some awesome weather here over the last few weeks..

warm and in the high 70's/low 80's.

i didn't complain about sweating once.

in fact i enjoyed my glistening stink.

of course today it's windy and cold (the worst).

but i am still high on the warmth..

i actually ordered some climbing roses from a nursery! 

THESE.

i thought i would bring a little of that springy happiness to you, via my "outside" pinterest...

and nothing makes me happier than a moodboard...

super porch.

points of interest:

rug- plastic from HERE.

elephant table- HERE.

happy monday!!

 agaaaaainnnnn.

monday facts.

#1:

it's cold. real cold. 

not complaining...just stating the facts.

#2:

fiona is back in school after being out all last week.

which means if you are a client of mine waiting for painting updates..

you shall have them this week.

#3:

downton was 2 hours long last night.

the recapping part of my brain might explode.

#4:

pink living room updates...

here's what i have worked out so far:

i want this pink to be warm and subtle.

but still pink.

i want it to feel primarily traditional with minimal clean lines.

(???!!!)

the room is small and it gets tons of light. 

the sofa is warm white.

getting 2 (really long) bolsters made with camel silk velvet with pink velvet trim, for the back of the sofa.

i want that west elm rug in every room in my house but i will settle for the living room.

i will fashion some art that is moody and dark. or maybe more color.

not sure yet.

there is a tall antique tea table that the lamp goes on that i am going to either paint or do something fun to.

there is also a mid century/asian-y chair and ottoman that i want to recover.

that is where i am stuck.

i am feeling olive green but not sure..

i need more pattern..but i am not sure which.

tell me what to do.

shit i don't hate on a monday

this scorpian lamp.

luxury that doesn't use a heavy hand.

albert hadley's brain.

the fact that i never seem to tire of this room.

duh.

mirrored walls.

head to toe orchid denim against a clay pink wall. 

black patent leather walls.

fuck off forever.
