we have a lot to unpack so i’m jumping right in. firstly sorry for the loooooong time no see. i have been in full on nesting mode. i have a timeline of sorts in my head- fiona’s room, living room, hallway, hall bath. in that order. except the only thing that is mostly done is the hallway because that just required fresh white paint. (f&B pointing. outstanding btw if you want a creamy, warm white with zero gray, yellow, blue or green undertones. it has red undertones.) i have this tiny flush mount in mind except that the delivery time is end of october and a bitch is impatient. also probably the little pink one not the green, tho it is cute.
fiona’s room got a tiny refresh and we’re still going. but so far we got a new bedskirt (still not here), new pillowcases (they are unexpectedly soft and the blue is heavenly), fresh paint, and i have a pretty blue and white suzani for the end of her bed that will tie it all up. still need a new bedside table (bc her current little dresser is too big and falling apart), a rug, white bamboo shades (still waiting on samples to arrive and yes they come in white! had no idea.).
the living room is almost there. the walls are painted farrow and ball citrona (for the record all of the paint is a benjamin moore mix of farrow and ball colors). i splurged on a huge suzani to cover the sofa bc i wanted a softer more muted palette with those yellow walls. my purple sofa just wasn’t doing it for me. also my cat has destroyed it. the suzani came from this etsy shop.
i scored some vintage wood shelves that i painted white. i fucking HATE painting shelves. it’s the most tedious thing imaginable. but they are going to look great. i shell’d up the top and couldn’t be happier with it. will continue to fill it until it hits linda rodin levels. also have already taped the cords behind. this beast is going to hold allll of my books, cookbooks included (fingers crossed). that beautiful flower photograph is this one. gifted to me from the photographer herself.
anyway, this is the vibe.
against my better judgement i do want a rug for this room. this one is the dream. can you imagine? my dumb cat would destroy it too.
also eventually want curtains for the living room. i’ve never actually had curtains and this house really wants them. i am planning on replacing the plastic blinds with the same white bamboo shades throughout. more on those soon.
more on the hall bathroom soon too. i do know that i am painting it a soft, pale peach. if you know of a soft, pale peach that doesn’t look too circus peanut, pink or terracotta let me know.
after all of this is done it’s the master bedroom/bath and the kitchen.
in other news-
i have removed my shop from this blog and went back to a website that is exclusively my art. i dunno, it felt right. anyway…here’s where you can purchase my art from here on.
i upgraded my towels to these and they are great. 5 stars. soft, floofy and affordable. washcloths too.
i bought my first tool kit. it felt good.
got these fridge magnets too. they’re super fun.
you know that molecules perfume that smells amazing on everyone that it hits and people stop you and say, wow you smell amazing what is it? i got this and it smells exactly the same.
ok then. good check in.
