And the winner is.....

Remember this room?

It was/is in desperate need of a fresh and updated look.

I decided a fresh coat of paint might be the key to starting this little transformation process. 

27 samples later, I found our winner.......

Martha Stewart's Bedford Gray

I had the paint; I had the helpers (????)....

and finally, I had the finished product.

 

 Mark your calendars! 

The Fireplace Renewal Project of 2011 is slated to begin on November 7th!!!

Gray vs. Gray

Picking out paint is a serious ordeal in my opinion. 

But when it comes to picking out GRAY paint........... I usually want to run my head into a wall.

It's amazing how the same color of gray paint can transform from a green to blue hue simply depending on the lighting!

I mean, one would think picking a gray paint would be simple, right? After all it is just black and white mixed together.

While deciding on the perfect gray can be somewhat of a tedious task,

I always feel like the end result makes the challenge worthwhile!

A dozen of these bad boys, a tall glass of milk and my comfy couch are calling my name!

Have a great weekend!

We are back!

After a few week sabatical, we are back on American soil!

 

I may have left a little piece of my heart in Spain, but there is nothing like home!

Toot Toot

the plane is leaving for Spain!

Be back in a few weeks!

I love this.....

watch!

I think I am approximately a year behind on this trend, but I am ok with that because I still love this look!

Have a great weekend!

Do you Zara?

I do!

If you live in a town where trendy-moderately priced-fabulous shops like Zara don’t exist, then you will definitely appreciate my next little tidbit...............they now allow online purchases!

That is right...Zara International is now an online retailer!

I kinda love their fall lineup....

 

Did I mention we are going to Spain next week?  Did I mention that there is a Zara next door to our hotel?  What a coincidence........

Need a Break?

Then watch this! 

 It has left me with a full heart and a smile on my face!
