Room for Color!

This morning I woke up to an email from the Apartment Therapy editors notifying me that our kitchen was selected for the annual Room for Color contest.  Honestly, I'm honored just to have been selected and also humbled after seeing some of the amazing entries.  The winner gets a trip to NYC and the 4 finalists get 15 one-gallon cans of Behr paint! 

If you're so inclined, you can vote for our kitchen here.  Check out the other entries too!

Our Bedroom on Apartment Therapy!

This morning one of my favorite design blogs contacted me to see if they could feature the painted wall in our bedroom on their site.  As if I'd say no!

The lovely post is here with a photo I shared of my scalloped-edge paint job.  It was worth the four hours and very sore arm and hand.  This is a technique I'd use again in our apartment with all of the walls that curve up to meet the ceiling--but I think it probably works best in a room that can stand a bit of whimsy.

Thanks for putting our bedroom in the limelight, Apartment Therapy!
