Wild Blue Yonder

So this has been our first apartment which we will be leaving sometime in August and anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE our apartment.  When we signed the contract it looked like there had been 3 different unfinished paint jobs and the wood floors were in need of some love...but we saw the potential and somehow amid all the wedding craziness (with a LOT of help from Ben's brother and my little sister) we got all the holes filled in and pretty much the WHOLE place painted.  Then after we got back from the Honeymoon we set about designing...my favorite part!  Ben pretty much designed the kitchen and I took over the rest of the place.  I'm excited to design our next place but this has been quite a first apartment and definitely a place we were able to call home.  The story of the blue paint is thus:  when I was growing up, my Mom ONLY painted white walls.  I decided to go big or go home and we've been very happy.  It's a very happy blue.

  1. From the mom who always painted white walls, I say...go for it. Live your life in color the way you want to. By the way...I'm about to paint those walls a color called Koala Bear. Seems like the perfect color for a Sher Bear, right?
