Living with a Southern Obsession

Confession: I have copies of Southern Living dating more than 10 years back. And I still read through them for recipes and decorating tips! It is a great magazine and even if you do not dream of living like a true southern belle, you need a subscription. Trust me.

I love when their 'idea houses' come out. Even better, I love looking through all the pics in one easy step on their website. While trying to strike some inspiration for a bedroom I'm working on, I came across this playroom:
Those are my ABSOLUTE most favorite colors, all right there in one room! My entire house is painted a shade of blue that is almost the same as the light stripe. But I love how they used the apple greens and melon. Though I doubt my kids would be allowed in it were it our playroom. One thing I do not like: That wooden daybed thing. What IS that? Why the massive headboard behind it? Weird.

Well, I finished two paintings this weekend and am almost done with another! My precious sister-in-law will be happy that one I finally finished was my nephew's. Pictures to come later, my husband thinks I'm watching a movie with him and I need to pay better attention!

  1. I used a similar green in my boys room - I love those pictures on the wall. I think I need to get Southern Living - Southern California counts, right? ;)
