maybe just the living room

i have found it, the color i am willing to paint over in two years (well a little less now). there is a giant wall that wraps around the dining room, and then enters into the living room that i wanted to paint kelly green. the idea was quickly nixed by MAS (the nixer of most paint ideas, but not all which is another reason i love him). however he did come up with a counter offer ... navy. at first it was ok, but after i brought home about a million navy paint chips i discovered it just wasn't going to work. that is when all of the paint plans were put on hold, i starting looking at wallpaper, and then decided to throw in the towel all together. but no longer, because i can say, this is going to be our wall color.

i am going to tone down my painting ambitions and keep the project to this one wall. i am going to then take the recommendation of east side bride and make some fabulous drapes out of a most wonderful treasure patterned fabric or maybe the tuuli in black + white, both by marimekko, and neither the exact fabric she was so kind to recommend, but found on the website she linked me to.

i am giving myself two weeks to at least have everything purchased, and then another two weeks to have it completed. i'll keep you up to date on my progress.
