melon-y springtime.

its another grey day
sometimes i think that the sun actual shines brighter on grey days
the sky may be dull looking, but my living room is bright with day light

and a fresh coat of paint!

i decided that my living room was probably jealous of my kitchen's fresh new look. so i picked a paint chip & had michael bring me home a can of paint called "springtime" - or as I call it, a wonderful shade of melon-y honeydew. a week later, everything is back in place and the day light is spilling through the window onto my wonderfully green living room.

it's been a full monday already. coffee & banana bread with my sis - phoebe. laundry & sister-wives watching with carmyn. lunch & birthday cake with audrey & carmyn. and now i have some beautiful new earrings, and some beautiful pink mums. love it. hopefully i'll have a visit from shauna & joel this afternoon & my goal is to make salted caramels. however, i may just lounge - sipping tea & soaking up the comfort of a grey day.

the before picture - michael wanted me to keep the furniture like this, because it was fun to lay on the couch when they were pushed together like a mega couch!

after!

and this last picture is to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of my bestests. my dear EM. i can't wait to celebrate together in May!!
