We loved the bedding - from Tuesday Morning. Wall paint color is rainwashed by Sherwin Williams . We would like to wipe a deeper color and maybe a bronze on too, but we'll have to leave that to the professionals.

Now for a Long Nap . . .
So, we spent our Spring Break in a rainy Bakersfield. Apparently their average rainfall is around 5 inches/year and I think we experienced 3-4 of those inches. Phooey. A friend summoned me down to decorate a model home in his new subdivision. I grabbed a willing and helpful assistant (Mom) and a capable and loving babysitter (Dad) and we headed South through sleet, snow, wind and monsoon like rains. Let me just say that those freeways in California are no picnic - hazardous is more like it. Hooray for our ever present friend, Mr. GPS as he was a constant and reliable companion. We would NEVER have navigated our way from one store to the next without "him." We were priviledged to work with a beautiful home - so it wasn't too much of a stretch to make it look welcoming. Travertine floors, high ceilings, knotty alder cabinets and trim, and great attention to detail. I admit that when I get the chance, I love to watch those decorating shows - but I have now come to a sure conclusion. Yes, you do see a few people working hard, but behind the scenes there are teams of support staff and others shopping for the loot. Thankfully there was no one filming our progress, but we sure could've used a few more helpers. It was fun but exhausting. We finished at 1:30 in the the morning, so these pics are not the greatest as there was no natural light at that particular time of day . . .

Master Bedroom. There will be animal print chairs against the painted wall and a custom headboard for the bed. Possible window treatment on the skinny window in the blue/green color.
