The toy collection has also caught a breath of fresh air!
I chose the colors with care from a swatch book, arriving at the final four: a matte white for the ceiling, a sticky oil-based gloss white for the trim, a neutral yellow for the walls, and finally, a durable finish for the floor. I took into consideration everything, with particular attention to the mantle, still, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it came together. All the disparate elements fit, as I put my home back together within a harmonious setting and backdrop—a place for everything, and everything in its place.
As I worked my way from room to room, I realized one final component would determine the true success of my selections. Flaws tend to be more marked in the harsh light of day. How would it all stand up? I opened a few of the shutters to let the sun pour in....
...and found my apartment beaming back at me. Enjoy the day, wherever you are :)
