Did Someone Say BLUE?

I have mentioned before.

I have a love/hate relationship with BLUE.

I have tried it on walls.

Some blue walls stayed/boys room.

Some have not/basement.

Blue is back in the house.

Disguised as aqua.

TRUE!

This aqua dresser.

It was plain brown last week.

I had bought the spray paint several weeks ago.

It took awhile to build up the courage.

Come on, it is only paint.

I did it.

I like it.

I asked Mr. M.

"How do you like the dresser?"  

It was still sitting in the garage, waiting to be accepted.

Waiting to be brought into the house.

"I thought you didn't like BLUE."  

He does pay attention.

"It's not blue, it's aqua, it is a summer color.

Anyway, it is only paint, and I can change it if I want to."

I brought the beauty into the house that night.

Accepted!

Simple can of spray paint and some gel stain.

Done in one day.

You may notice.

I have other blues in the room.

New pillows from HomeGoods. 

LOVE THAT STORE!

The picture on the wall, corner shields still on.

Not accepted yet.

Some more blue.

I can handle it in low doses.

Yellow, nope still have not accepted.

BUT, there is a great mustard dresser in the basement waiting for fall.  

MAYBE!

And you?

Is there a color you to love/hate?

Butterflies on the Wall

I have almost finished getting my daughter's room done.

Yesterday while my boys were playing and my daughter was at her baseball game.

I glued 150 butterflies on her wall.

Yep, I did!

I surprised my daughter by having these on the wall before she got home.

I think it turned out kind of neat.

It almost looks like art.

The multiple of colors works with the rug and the chair.

The first night we put up her pink chandelier she did not want us to turn the lights off.

The finished chair.

It is a favorite for reading.

She likes to curl up with her cat and a good book.

Double welt piping.

It was not as hard as I thought it would be.

I love how the color choices turned out.

I am glad I did not worry about too much color.

This is the room at night as we are trying to figure out furniture placement.

I can't hang pictures or shelves until we figure out where everything will go.

Aren't these framed prints awesome!

I found them at HomeGoods of course.

The pink and purple frames are from TJMaxx.

Two of my favorite stores.

Next week I will reveal a great steal I got for the deck from World Market.

Soon to be my favorite on line shop.

Even though it is not supposed to be as warm as it was all week, I am hoping to finish up some gardening.

Fit in a trip to an annual flea market with my sister.

Maybe a date night with Mr. M.

Due to baseball and having to work all week, we haven't seen much of each other.

I hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
