We have some more contractors coming this week so that is a positive, I guess.
My lamps came for the desk. I really like them. I needed more lighting around the computer and I wanted something soft that didn't shine directly into your eyes so I ended up with this:Better Homes and Gardens Orb Quatrefoil Uplight Lamp: Decor : Walmart.com The lighting ended up being exactly what I wanted, so that's nice.
Now I'm thinking about doing my own type of "custom closet" hack since I can't find anything I really like/fits my closet/isn't very expensive. I need to learn to focus on one thing at a time.
Finally got the kitchen cupboards done, painted grey with Alkyd paint from Benjamin Moore. Now deciding the color of my kitchen stools. They are wood with a reddish tone that doesn't go with anything but the floor, and that will be changing soon to a darker floor.
Looking at using my other accent color, turquoise, to the stools or blending in with grey or black.

I like the black. Turquoise/Aqua is my favorite color, but I would use it somewhere other than the stools.

I like the black too. I love gray but I think they blend too much here. I also like the blue ones in the upper left hand corner.
I'm leaning toward a chrome-type of thing. Not usually my style but I think it goes better with the gray/white.
I love monochromatic bathrooms because they give me that 'spa' feeling. However, you could easily add a punch of yellow or turquoise in your accessories if you want that bit of color. That's a nice sink - very pretty color.

The black is nice as well as a white if you're so inclined. But I tell you, a lacquered yellow would look kind of awesome too. Look at those lemons sitting there on your counter and how awesome they look next to that grey.
Thanks for the sewing encouragement. I finally made two napkin pillows and I'm pretty happy with them. It took a couple of tries to master the zipper, but I think I've got it now. With the rest of the napkins and fabric I bought, I'll be a pillow making fool now!
