friggin library. It's only open the hours that I'm at work (+Sat) I guess I can wait 1.5 days. At least I finally got The Princess Bride! (YAY!)


This is the color of my new sewing/office



Sewing/Office!
As you can see, there's a little nooky-thing to the left there. My animation desk's gonna go in there. This was a big selling point of the house for me. HEE.
It's hard to tell, but the blue has a bit of a green tinge to it, it feels like an old depression glass plate. (It's still definitively blue, though.)
I think it'll look great contrasted with white and pink.
I'd -like- to do lots of stuff with molding and panels (ala my icon)... but I think I should leave that for another year. (because it requires TEH MATHS) In the meantime, I got a white leaf-motif ceiling medallion to go with the fan. <3 (approx $20 lowe's.)


Maybe once I put the fabric shelves, etc, in, (HI, IKEA!) I can do something kindof like this on one wall (but blue and white, and with more petit trianon - styled molding flowers.
Or maybe not. We'll see. Also like the wallpaper on the doors in the second photo.




Also... (why do I have a hard time typing this?) this is the future baby(?) room.
It's close to the same value, but has less green to it. The paint guys thought I was crazy for painting two rooms "the same color". (It's NOT THE SAME! It's a very important difference! <3 )


My inspiration was this room, (specifically the white bird appliques on the blue wall) but I figure regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, blue would be fun to play with.


NOTE: Not pregnant and not trying. So don't get out of hand! haha... I just figured it will be easier to paint the rooms that I KNOW I want colors in before we move in.

The rest of the house is painted this light taupey color:


Please see previous post for rose musing

ALSO, HELLO, OCTOBER, thankyou for bringing 75 F with you! Much obliged!

I can tell the difference between the two blues :) In the past I've painted rooms myself, but after the last time, painters are the way to go. Will the rest of your house be this colorful?

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

These will probably be the most colorful at least when it comes to paint colors. :)

The rest of the house is painted this color, it's kindof a light taupey color?

living room is going to have dark wood and red accents in the cushions and furniture. <3

I've always painted myself before, but it's so much faster this way, and they did a really good job. and I'm sick and working right now...! too much to deal with. much better to go with the painters. :)

Can't wait to come invade! <3
Was thinking maybe Nov? I want to see my brother's new place too.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

I was thinking of doing a Doctor Who viewing party, most people think it will come out sometime in late Nov... but I dunno!

either way!

[praedestinatio.livejournal.com]

Eee looks cute! I wanna come see!

Oh man, I love that color! I can't wait to see what else you do with it (I am in absolute love with the paneling idea, YAYMATH).

I find that taupey color to make rooms look and feel kinda dark. Our place was painted in that color when we moved in and we decided to re-paint it in off-white. My eyes are happy about the extra amount of light it draws in :} (especially when reading or drawing)

Love the blues!

Living in a rental flat, I gotta be creative with my decorating but your decorating has me so inspired! I LOVE the colour palette from Marie Antoinette (especially your icon!). I can't wait to see how this progresses!
