Sleep-blogging.

There comes a time, when a girl has freshly painted the dining room, and she's too exhausted to blog much, but she still wants to put something out there. That time is now.

Oh. Meow. Shirt: Thrifted. Pencil Skirt: NY&Co. Tights: We Love Colors. Shoes: Thrifted.

We've painted our dining room before, a light gray color, but it just wasn't too impressive. It was an antiques store in San Fran that spurred us onto this color (Valspar's "Rainwater", if ya'd like to know)-- a wall was painted a similar color as a backdrop to all kinds of gold, silver and crystal things. Yum.


Blue isn't usually among my favorite colors, but I'm certainly having a period of it. After seeing this picture on Lucky's site, I immediately decided that my office/crafts room had to have the exact color scheme above. And as for style? I've always loved bright colors and Rococo-fussy findings and furnishings, so I've been hitting up both books and Internet to fully hone my Hollywood Regency leanings...

And now, I retire. I swear. Painting. This, and my epic bathroom-cleaning episode. I'm out!

Zzzzz,

Elissa.
