Poor Ronnie spent so much time painting our house last week only to discover that the paint color looks pretty freaking different than we were expecting. The color is called "Sandstone Cliff" which to us looked very much like a beigey gray on the swatch and even on the test patch we tried out. But when the walls were fully painted, it looks more just like a light gray during the day and powder blue at night! UGH. So not the look we were going for. But here's a pic of it during the day. Not that horrible, right? But let me tell you, it's awful at night. I'll have to get a picture. One wall in the living room even looks sage green because of the lighting!

Also on my mind lately? Shopping. (When is that not on my mind? :) I've been scouring through winter clearance sales on baby websites so I can load baby girl up for her first winter. It's my favorite time of year so I'm excited for later this year when I can get her all done up in cardigans, dresses and tights. Ronnie's sis from Dallas sent down a Christmas gift for V too.. Check it:
Ridiculous, right? :) They should fit her in time for winter too!
And last rando bit...I would LOVE a blog makeover! My design by Meg O. is amazing and I love it but I get so ancy and just want something fresh for the new year. She's booked for a while I think so if anyone knows of a designer who is awesome and pretty affordable, let me know! :)
Happy Wednesday!

I like the paint color, hopefully it will grow you on. Those shoes are sooo cute :-)
the mirror is so cute and i don't mind the paint based on the picture ... but i know how you feel when you think you are a getting a certain paint color and you are surprised with the complete opposite of what you wanted.
those shoes are too cute! your lil girl is going to be so stylish :)
i so need a new blog look ... just don't want to spend the $$$.
That bugs me so bad about paint swatches. We had the same issue with our bedroom and were too lazy to repaint. It finally grew on us after a little while. I think the color does look nice during the day. Hopefully you grow to like it :)
Those little leopard shoes are so adorable! You're going to have one sassy little baby girl.
I've got my fingers crossed for you with the new opportunity for work!

Nice wall color!Very pretty and neutral.
I had a similar experience. We bought a gray beige color. We even tried a sample. It ended up
Being a warm tan color. I do not like it but we are just living with it. :)
I can't believe she's almost here!
I hope good changes are ahead of you on the work front. :)
OOoh that paint color situation sucks, maybe you can find a way to do something to it to change it up?
Yikes!! Sorry about the paint situation. But at least baby girl has some pretty awesome shoes!!!
I will put you first on the list for a re-design once I've filled these orders! Is that cool? I'm not sure how long it'll take but if you're willing to wait then I'd be happy to help you!
Boo about the paint not being what you wanted. At least the mirror is really cute? :)
