olivine, i love you...

My sister, Katie (a.k.a. Aunt Doot), and I have been painting my kitchen and living room all week...on her vacation no less. Somebody's gunning for sister of the decade. I am IN LOVE with the kitchen paint...pretty smitten with the living room paint too, but the Olivine? It's perfect. All the crap objets I've collected over the years blend perfectly with this color.

And also? Our new couch will look even more lovely being surrounded by the new kitchen and living room paint jobs.



It will be here in six (please, please be early!) to eight weeks. Can't wait! Our current couch is only three or four years old but it is a WRECK. Amazing what two small boys and various family pets can do to a piece of furniture. Now we're down to two small boys and only occasional visits from family pets so hopefully this new couch will last us a few more years. We shall see.

I'm hoping to get back to my work schedule next week but with the holidays looming, who knows how effective I'll be! Only 51 days until Christmas...
