The corner I’m sitting in right now

Poetic. That is the name of the very soft cream I have on the walls – it’s almost white. When Mum was down last month we painted the living room/dinning room and upstairs and downstairs hallways. The entire place was brown before – Tuscan Clay. It felt dark, and depressing. No longer the cozy colour Mike and I had picked 12 years ago.

The sectional – an early 40th birthday present. The light I put together. The rug a screaming deal. I love this room now. What you can’t see (if you were sitting where I am you can) is the feature wall, which is forget-me-not blue. I’m guilty of falling in love with the paint names just as much as the colours themselves

The print is Cupid and Psyche, K gave it to me ages ago and I love it still. Because I am a romantic chump.

But you probably got that from the paint colour names.
