Love it.

Style notes -
Paint for chair: Laura Ashley / Bleached Wheat
Fabric: Waverly / Fairhaven

Paint! YOU are not the color I wanted ... :)

I opened up my paint and was going to paint the dining room but at first glance, I knew it was NOT what I had in my mind! When I tested it on the wall, it was the color of human flesh. Oh I wanted to vomit. So, I boxed it back up and took it back to Home Depot (last night) for some fixing!

An hour later - Lauren and I walked out with a new gallon of paint! :) The guy at Home Depot was really helpful and tried to retint the color but it just wasn't right. We ended up with a new color - Laura Ashley / Taupe 3.

Off to try it out! :) PLEASE look good, please.

Painting day ...

Colors for the front room and upstairs hallway - Ceiling and trim: String of Pearls
