I moved into a new place last week and, as I slowly start getting settled, I am in the process of deciding what colors I should use. It’s a tough process but one that I will ultimately document on this blog. (Me? Painting? Seriously!)

I need to regroup with my roommate Taryn to go over a few final details, but I think the goal is create a pretty cozy and fun experience in the living room. I mean – the layout is pretty sweet. You go down the spiral staircase into the room. There’s a small alcove and room for a couch or two. There’s not much natural light – so, at the suggestion of Josh, I’m investigating putting mirrors to spread some of the natural light.

It will be a work in progress. I will start sharing pictures soon. We have a few couch crashers here so I want to do a bit more cleaning before I start documenting the process.
