color wheel.




i get to buy paint today!
yippee!


the wide-plank hickory kitchen floors are finished and breathtaking [i never imagined i'd spend so much time admiring a floor], cabinets have arrived and are waiting to be hung. upstairs hardwoods are soaking up their special walnut stain this morning, and grout is being smeared between the crevices of bathroom hexagon tiles.

paint selection has meant a lot of indecision, sorting through piles of swatches, and holding them up to the light. at last, here are the colors i've arrived at...a list that makes me hungry and longing for spring:



mint chocolate chip
saffron
butter
french white
green blue
feather gray (gris plume)
shabby chic
dellwood sand
pale powder
ground green
& book room red

now off i go to fetch my gallons...
