Do you have a favorite color scheme when it comes to decorating? I think we all do. I feel most comfortable surrounded by the earthy warm autumn colors that transform Michigan's landscape every October. It apparently isn't a phase either because I've loved the same colors for almost 50 years. Call me boring, predictable...
This just may be my favorite transformations to date. The hardest part was deciding on which color to paint it. I didn't like the red on this one, so I wiped it off, but should I do the Destin or the custom Green recipe that was left over from the CeCe Caldwell's...

I’ve been inspired with color ever since we took our daughter to the Children’s Museum in Portland, Oregon years ago. The museum was filled with vibrant colors and I couldn't help but embrace the joy in my daughter’s eyes as she explored everything in sight. Since I had rented homes with blah white...
