Keeping Things Tidy

We live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. You may have heard that it rains here? We have two dogs, going in and out, getting wet and muddy. We always have a towel hanging on the door knob . . . or falling off the door knob.

I came up with a solution. A towel hook! It works perfectly and the towel isn't constantly being knocked off all the time.


I like simple solutions!

Fig

The painting continues. The Lizard King got back to it this weekend, painting the designated accent walls in the living room a lovely shade of fig. He also finished up the non-green kitchen walls with the main color choice, taupe. I love taupe. I love how it changes color throughout the day.

Taupe is on the left, fig on the right. I love how the accent wall turned out.

And I love the accent color around the fireplace . . . but now I don't like the tile. Fortunately, I have an awesome husband and it's only 10 tiles. We found a tile we all love, that works beautifully with the fig color.


Next up, taupe throughout the remainder of the first floor and white ceilings. Then we move upstairs. Oh . . . and the best news it that the colors we picked, fig & taupe, match our bedding perfectly! Woohoo!!
