Skirt or dress over pants/leggings with unmatched shirt. Hair parted, pulled in a low pony, which just kills me since I love her hair out of her eyes and with accessories:) Trying to learn to let go. At least I let her make more decisions in design, her interior choices are less messy than her dressing!<br /><br />Happy to find a new blog. Aliyah blogs and design blogs are my faves, so this is the perfect combination!<br /><br />JessicaJessica @ Stay at Home-istahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982756540681513061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4100730807716627848.post-67131527748996629992013-04-30T01:34:18.762-07:002013-04-30T01:34:18.762-07:00One day many years ago, when my husband was on arm...One day many years ago, when my husband was on army reserve duty, I painted our bedroom dark purple (a similar purple to that in the room pictured above).<br />It had been difficult to convince my husband that walls could be magnolia or cream rather than white which is why I was decorating while he was away.<br />Originally I had intended to treat the purple with a pale wash, to lighten it, but I loved the colour so much I couldn't bear to.<br />When my husband got home he was less shocked than I expected and didn't complain. I thought he was simply happy because I was happy.<br />And even after a couple of years I would break into smiles every time I entered the room such was the positive effect of that colour on my mood.<br />Now we are moving to a new apartment and one of my husband's first comments when we discussed decorating - 'You must paint our new bedroom purple.'Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276711065670111187noreply@blogger.com
