My color personality

Is green!

From this website:
It sounds like the hue you most relate to is green -- the color most evocative of nature. Adjectives such as kind, gentle, and contemplative likely describe you. You enjoy being involved with your neighbors and coworkers, but you also require plenty of time to yourself to recharge.You are social yet introverted, and modern but not trendy. Surround yourself with your signature color to create a restful, soothing environment. From sage to hunter, green can work well in virtually every room of your house. Use it generously to create a haven you'll love coming home to.

Bookshelves.

I love Apartment Therapy's small spaces stories, mostly because while our house isn't that small, the rooms are small and I'd rather not start knocking down walls. We're hoping to finally create a proper office in our extra bedroom as the next in-the-house project, and we need more bookshelves (since we can't seem to stop buying books ...). I like this idea:

I just wonder how much of a pain it would be to stick that many holes in the wall since we have plaster.

Kitchen curtains.

We don't have any curtains on the window over our kitchen sink at the moment. I never like the curtains that I see, and it seems a little strange to me to put fabric in a place with food. Kind of like carpet in a bathroom. Ew.

Then today, I saw this photo here.

Very neat idea. I don't care for the stripes, but I like the style, especially since it is basically a roman shade that ties in a different way, and I already have roman shades in the dining room. The best part? I can make it myself!

Oh Microsoft.

Chandelier.

After I painted the dining room and the countertop, the old brass chandelier we have really started to look old and out-of-place. I don't mind the shape of it, but I hate brass, so I've decided to try and paint it. Then, I came across the photo above (via Apartment Therapy) and I think I might also try the round-shaped light bulbs. Very cute. My chandelier won't be pink, however. Most likely it'll end up black.

A Very Long Engagement.

I can't decide if I really liked this movie or not, but visually, it was beautiful. It also reaffirmed my love of all things vintage. And my belief that Audrey Tautou is adorable.

Orange.

We decided to try orange on the front door. I love the color--not so impressed with the color of the door and the color of the house, but that color isn't going to stay. With some landscaping in front it'll really look fantastic.
