because i can't leave well enough alone...

pinterest is going to be the death of me, or more likely, the death of my bank account. so i came across this mudroom and loved the coral/orangey wall in the background, such a funky color splash....


...which of course got me thinking about this one mudroom wall i have. it's the only plaster wall among the wood paneling in the room (which I kind of want to paint white now instead of keeping the natural wood color). you can see if from the back yard only pretty much, but i still want it to make a statement...


...and then i saw this color combo on pinterest as well of urchin tones and thought it was the prettiest thing i'd seen. and now i want to paint that one dang wall one of these colors, likely the teal color...



...and instead of using the painting i have in there now, i've been dying to hang these photos of the dogs in their white frames (since the mudroom is pretty much dedicated to all things dog related). i like to take a special portrait of each dog to remember them by. the westie was my first love, mackenzie...then there's penny & maple who were photographed by li of fat orange cat a few years back...and then there's the one of hank from westport last summer...

 


...and since there's a bench seat in there i thought i could solicit dear old mom (aka: master seamstress extraordinaire) to sew me a custom cushion out of a funky fabric (TBD)...


don't you think that would look so wonderful? damn, now i feel like i have to paint the paneling white...see how my spending spirals out of control? i'll let you know how it turns out.
