it's a riot of colour!

the first bedroom is green and the bathroom is some kinda darkish sea and the back room is to be dark indigo. green to sea to indigo, see, there's a method. then the master will be a sorta denim blue since that room doesn't get the light that the back bedroom does, so it can't sustain the indigo. the powder room will be a fading rose, not another blue, because i like that colour and that's my room. then out in the hall will be a sandy beach colour and the den will be plantation brown. that's the middle sort of neutral tie-together area of the house. the kitchen will be a warmish rose, not a pinkish or a purplish rose, and then into the dining room with the warmish rose above but below the chair rail wild current which is a not-too-purple dark berryish colour and on into the front room with the wild current and then the front hall back to warm sandy beach colour. won't really know till it's on the walls what it all will look like and it may not all work together but one thing's for sure, it will no longer be wallpaper. there's just so long that you can stare at those little bits of colour in the colour book before you just have to eenie-meenie pick something.

we'll get some window treatments all around and maybe get those long drapes for the den and the front room. in the bathrooms, some new towel racks and paper rollers and shower curtains and a candle and a plant to show somebody lives here.

that picture of the girls reading that's right now in the den, i'd like to put that over the piano, and i want the bowl of roses watercolour to stay in the kitchen. we will actually put framed pictures on the walls. no more thumb tacks and sticky-strips. this is not a dorm room. we are grown ups now. this is our house.
