What a glorious Sunday!
A quick post, as I am off to the garden center to buy some more geraniums for potting, along with a few other goodies...
It is a wonderful thing when the earth springs to life where one is.
I ooh and aah daily over the little things, like my forget-me-nots, which I think have the most homey of names:
Whenever you aren't sure what colours go together, it is always a good idea to take a look at what Mother Nature has up her sleeve...
And speaking of colour, the coral is gone, replaced by Benjamin Moore's Salisbury Green, which is a lovely shade. It echoes my bluey-1940s-bottle-green in the kitchen:
And will be equally at home when you look into the dining room when it's painted the pale blue as there are definite blue undertones. My friend Tammy picked out the colours and she is a genius!
You will note the trim isn't back up yet - hence no baseboard or crown molding - but I couldn't wait to share photos.
I am feeling some big-time love for the room now. While I loved the dark maroon, it had been on the walls for over a decade...

And the bleeding hearts seem perfectly content...
And continuing in my peace theme of Friday, here's a photo of one of my friends, that I hope will make you smile on this lovely Sunday...
And if you want to read a novel that will make you think, pick up W. Somerset Maugham's The Razor's Edge and then head over to Dani's book club, where we discussed the book in detail yesterday, and where the best thing is that Dani keeps the conversation up and going for those who come later to the party. Thanks Dani!
I hope you all have the loveliest of days. Stay safe out there!
