For those of you who have been anxiously awaiting photos of my paint project…here they are! I’ve been waiting to post these because I’ve been hoping to find a few more things to complete my room: a cool area rug, some fancy patterned curtains to drape off to the side of the door to the deck (I took down the long, panel blinds), and something from Uppercase Living to put above the grouping of white photos. But…it may be a while before the room is “complete”, so here are the photos of my new look! This first one is of course, a before shot of the plainness of tan walls:
…and voila! We have color!! I find myself amazed at the power of color. It brings a sense of life and freshness to a room. It inspires creativity & organization.
This will sound super cheesy, but color like this makes me happy! =) It makes me want to just hang out in this room and bask in its goodness. And delight in the fact that we have been created with 5 phenomenal senses to take pleasure in the little things of life!
I love how the dark gray makes my black & white photos pop! 
I found this fun piece for above my sink at Pier One. It has 9 little hooks on it to hang fun things! I saw this “Vow to be different” in a magazine and was inspired by it: 
Vow to be different.
Vow to add some splashes of color to life.
Vow to look at whatever situation it is in front of you from a positive angle.
Vow to pursue that dream you’ve been waiting to go after.
Vow to love others deeply.
Vow to not compromise what you stand for in the face of challenges.
Vow to laugh. Everyday.
Vow to be different.
