1. I rearranged my living room a few weekends ago and have been adding finishing touches since. When we moved in, the walls were painted a taupey, light brown color that I would never have picked. To minimize our painting load and make it work, we did an accent wall in citron (which was a nice, safe way to try out a challenge color). With grey and white patterned curtains, a dark turquoise throw and lamp,  we have a good balance of neutrals and color, and my new throw pillows from Target are like the icing on the cake!

    Threshold Cottage Pillow in green - honestly I would have passed this up online, but in person it is adorable. The “green” is really citron.

    Threshold Marble Toss Pillow in blue - just ordered and anxiously waiting. Pictures to follow!

Okay here is anothe illo for Ten Paces and Draw. It was actually a fashion swap, but the costume that I got to draw was so unconventional (you will see when you go to the website) that I couldn’t just draw a pretty girl with a lovely dress.
So it became a kind of sea monster who disguises as a coral to catch cute fishes. It doesn’t fit in the slideshow of the fashion swap though. Sorry!But it was fun again, as always.
Head over to Ten Paces and Draw to see the other participants’ illustrations!

Phenomenal. -b

Seems like everyone could use a hug this week. Good thing evolution gave the blue-ringed octopus all those arms. 
(Disclaimer: The blue-ringed octopus is venomous. Please do not actually attempt to hug one.)

  8. I have moments where I really feel that outdoor furniture is just someone’s clever way of saying, this would probably be good for you if you own dogs, or hate the way almost all couches look.
