I thought I would save some money in the master bedroom by making my own custom color with leftover paint from other projects. I wanted a greige color and I had beige, I had grey, so I thought it would be perfect. I didn’t even have to run to the store. You are so awesome, Melissa!

It was awesome until….I ran out of paint.

Now I have to go and get my custom color matched if I want to finish the room. No time saved, no money saved. How can I complicate things any more?

Thanks for your encouraging and understanding words yesterday~it’s amazing what a good night’s sleep can do for the soul! And thank goodness not every day is like that, right?? It’s hard to know the right balance of whining and complaining on the blog, but trying to keep it real, so thank you.

Let’s move more into my comfort zone: dressers!

I found this one at the thrift store and loved it, but it was $150.  Oh c’mon, you know I can’t stomach paying that for a thrift store dresser! I asked the cashier if they had any 50% off furniture days coming up and she thought maybe the next Friday. Oh please, please, please let it be here when I come back…

It was! Believe me, there are plenty of pieces I would have loved that didn’t make it to the 50% day, but this one was mean to be.
