It’s true…
just about the time I get everything just like I like it
The other day I shared the chicken wire dream board I made for the office
and thought I would share a few more peeks at some of the Spring changes I am making
It was my daughters room first when we moved in- and it’s wood walls were painted in a soft ballet pink.
and my daughters ballet pink room became my oldest sons room before long
and it was painted a simple white.
When he moved out to the guest cottage, that little room became my office.
(before)
But it wasn’t long before I was ready for a change
and now those wood walls
are wearing a soft
ever so slightly
barely there
pink
again.
I absolutely love the hint of color it brings.
It’s not too much color
but next to the white wainscot it’s just enough.
It was a random can of paint -not something I researched and planned out~
Just a $5.00 oops paint find at Lowes
and it is perfect.
The gustavian grey armoire that was in here
moved to another room…
and I brought my grandmothers china cabinet in to hold
fabric, china, or whatever needed a spot to be put away.
but for now have kept just the pitchers and pieces I use most frequently on the top shelf
and moved the rest back out to the little cottage.
Right now it’s holding some of the fabrics that are inspiring me
for a few things I am working on.
I love the vintage settee.
It is just as I found it- missing it’s cushion and showing wear and tear on it’s fabric and all
and I adore it.

I could never work in there….I'd just lie back and dream or leaf through magazines…I'd never accomplish anything! It's just dreamy!

Beautiful Courtney! So funny I am not a pink girl either.I do love the color but use it sparingly.But lately I am adding just a bit more I don't know why I am drawn to it so much.It must be spring fever LOL!

Love the oops pink, a soft pink, with a touch of warmth. The settee is indeed another great find that adds to the space. All of it soft and lovely. Patty/BC
