fresh blue, i love you!

This has been long overdue. After months of being taunted by the ghastly and horribly boring cream-colored walls, we finally went out of our way to go to the hardware store and buy a can of paint.

Who would've thought that choosing a shade of blue would be tough? We reluctantly settled with Fresh Blue. Fortunately, it was the perfect shade of blue that gave our apartment the right kind of pop that I've been dreaming of.

Here's some proof of our hard work:






After shedding blood, sweat and tears, behold: Fresh Blue Perfection!


our living room looks mighty dandy!


the Chair Exam (a fab-find from the Vintage Night Market) compliments the accent wall, donchathink?


our vision board turned into a picture collage... but it works!


This is just the first in my long list of home improvements. I still have some more ideas up my sleeve - a new bookshelf to house our growing collection of books, broken clocks, toy cameras and other knickknacks, the quest to find the perfect shared work desk, and maybe new chairs for our glass-top dining table. Until then, we'll just have to bask in the beauty of our spanking new Fresh Blue walls.
