Phase One, Completed!

Dim morning light makes it hard to capture such colors, but Nikki the Nikon and I did our best:
waking up to this instead of the cold, dim yellow (and don't get me wrong, I love yellow fiercely, but this color was lacking something very important...)
was just amazing.

My sense of relaxation and renewal was palpable!

It's kind of like being inside of a jadeite mug; the colors are not as saturated as the pictures make them out to be: it's far more gentle in person, but still packs a wallop of a punch!

I took a cue from Jessi (I am halfway done with EL&IC, love - you are a patient book-lender!)
and did a bit of rainbow reading stack action:
truth is that I wish to dip back into all of these books and so, perfect!

Today I am going to Home Depot to get hanging hooks for either side of the double window where I will then hang pothos plants and direct their growth along the walls.

Picture hanging afterwards
and then, a sigh of contentment:
we are renters, but we care deeply for this house
and wish to live in it for as long as we are staying-
I am no longer content to just 'exist' or 'bide my time' in a place just because its very nature is temporary:

one could say the same thing about a life.

Love,
Allison

That headboard is gorgeous and oh, the color! It's so important to remember to LIVE even in a temporary space. My husband and I have painted almost all our rented walls and it makes such a difference in feeling like we're home. (We're trying to decide on a color for the office which is the sunniest room in the house...something similar to this is now in the running!)
