I have nothing super exciting to say today, so I’m going to tell about the paint color I decided on yesterday. I’m not even kidding. Oh, and I threw some things in a pan for dinner, and they tasted really good together.
I’ve been pondering a new bedroom wall color for months now. I wanted a change and I wanted to brighten things up, but I had no idea what I wanted to do. Our Master bedroom is painted a dark Barn Red right now, and the Master bath is Olive Green. Looks better than it sounds….I think. My bedroom has been those colors for about 10 years now. I didn’t want to spend a whole lot of money on redecorating, but I knew change meant new bedding, new lamps (one has been broken for years) new window treatments, and a new wall color. I unexpectedly found curtains one afternoon a couple of months ago, while not even looking, and they have become my inspiration for my new theme.
The curtains are cream colored with a large Olive colored ivy running through them. Since the bathroom walls are olive, I decided these curtains were meant to be. So that’s the theme. Cream and Olive, hopefully with an airy outdoorsy feel, with black accents. Why black? Because I already have black night stands, and when I painted the bedroom 10 years ago, I painted the trim around the ceiling in my bedroom, and the trim around my bathroom mirrors, black!! I have no desire to repaint the trim.
Last week, I found a new comforter that I already love, and it’s cream. (NO DOGS ALLOWED!!)
Yesterday, I picked a nice cream color, a little darker than the comforter, for the walls and bought a few items at Home Depot to make curtain rods. The curtain rod’s will be a project, and should be interesting. Sometimes I have great ideas, and sometimes….not so much.
Now I have everything I need, I just need about three days in a row with nothing on the calendar so I can get it done!
And lamps! I need to lamp shop! The ones that I have found that I love, are super pricey. I want BIG lamps, glass base, burlap type shades?
Okay, now that I’ve likely bored you to death, I did get in walk number two yesterday of my September Walking Challenge!

I’m sitting on the couch with the dogs and a cup of coffee, in my p.j.’s and there’s a Thunderstorm! I love it! I need to be at the Food Truck in 30 minutes. I should probably brush my teeth and put on clothes, for the sake of the Food Truck people.
Hope it clears up soon!
