What Color Did We Choose?

The painting is almost done.  I know....you're asking what happened to having it done by Tuesday?  Well, it didn't and we're okay with that.

(Okay, we're not really okay with that because I need to get this finished while Baby Bee is gone to Winter Camp for the weekend and I have to finish the plans for her Nancy Drew birthday party for next Saturday, but we're going to pretend that we didn't bite off more than we can chew and we're going to pretend that we can get it all done and then we're going to go to make several lattes to get us through.)

What color did we choose?

drum roll......... 
(I feel like one of those cheesy reveals they have on HGTV sometimes)

We chose Aqua Spray!

Rich......


Vibrant......



Bright......




Wake me up in the middle of the night......

Aqua Spray!

Lowe's can offer you some great deals on paint or painting supplies. Take a look at them here!

I love it!  I just hope Baby Bee does too.

We needed to paint the ceiling too - I've used this color for all our ceiling now - Popped Corn - it's warm without being beige or yellow but it's cool enough to work with blues and greens.


Well I won't be able to finish all the projects in her room for her birthday, but we'll get it put back together and set it up with the new linens (as much as we can) for her big day.  Spring Break is in about 4 weeks and I think I can get it finished then.  

In the mean time, here's another reason why I can't get her room done.

I had to take photos of some fun things I'm putting up on etsy in the near future.....
I admit - I kept them for awhile, but ultimately decided someone else would love them more.

Couldn't snatch this Pyrex child's plate up fast enough!

Time to let go of another one of my pretties.  She's served her time bravely and honorably here at Sweet Bee Cottage, but it is time for her to venture out.

and I had to rearrange my espresso bar.  
Priorities people!  

Thanks for buzzin' in!

  15. The color is perfect! Some of the turqoise/aqua shades have too much green in them, but this has just the right balance. I think Baby Bee will love it! I hope she's having fun at camp, in spite of her broken wing. :~)

  20. Hello My dear Sweet Bee !
    I come from a childhood of white, my mother was swedish and it was beautiful and I still love the look although my home is a mixture. The auqa color happens to be a shade of clothing I love to wear it's just perks you up! I love the look in your daughters room to me it's serene. Can't wait to see the color you chose for her ceiling.
    Hugs Rosemary...xxx
