But I fixed it up good.

I usually end up giving a quick answer in the comments section of a post or in an email, but I thought maybe I could also just link to this post in the future and hopefully that will be a little more helpful for people.Plus, I love talking about paint colors!.

I think I’ve really settled on a great palette of colors for our home that seems to work no matter what the season is or how many times I decide to tweak my design style.Obviously that’s important to me because I’m always changing things up for the seasons and to share here on the blog and I don’t want to be repainting every  month!.The one color you’ll see more than any other color in my home is from CIL paints and is called Zeppelin.

It’s that perfect warm grey that looks good in any room, in any light, with any type of decor, and with any other color.Bright seasonal colors really pop against it, but it’s also great for pairing it up with texturey neutrals and crisp whites.

This is the color that I recommend the most to friends as family as well, and I can’t say that anyone who’s used it hasn’t been absolutely thrilled by it.

This color is actually a perfect match for Martha Stewart’s Bedford Grey, which was also a great color!): A new bedside table to replace the little white one and some fun projects in the corner where the bassinet will go once the new baby boy gets here!Oh my goodness, did Kennedy ever love making these!

She was still talking about how fun these were to make a week after they were done, so I knew I had a winning craft on my hands.. OK, so they’re not really the cutest things ever, but they definitely won me some “fun mom points” and that counts for something.I’m always on the lookout for fun, relatively easy crafts that we can make together, and if it involves recycled materials, all the better!.

Here’s how we made them:.We started out by making the base out of newspaper, packing tape, and a couple of sticks from the yard.. We scrunched and wrapped the paper in tape around the stick until we had a pumpkinish shape..
