Today's Project brought to you by the color Wild Stallion

And my husband thinks I bought the color just because of him... just an FYI I have never ever, in my life referred to my husband as a stallion of any sort.  Just so we are clear.

But yes!  We painted a bit more - and no it was not the nursery (we are almost done painting it - just no where close to being finished with it).  THIS project was in our bedroom which suffered from the bland disease of cream. But Wild Stallion would change all that... (does this sound like the start of some bad romance novel - why yes - yes it does).

So I don't know what got into my husband - but he gave me the go ahead to paint an accent wall in our bedroom.  I may have mentioned that I wanted to paint it a dark gray, obviously a "guy" approved color since I got the go ahead.  So off to Menard's I went!  I came back with 2 bags of potting soil a few seeds and a can of Wild Stallion (no supervision at all - FYI - I got to choose this one all on my own).

I also came back with a plum paint swatch that I want to paint our desk with.  I knew instantly that Bryan was a no go on working on a purple desk - he gave me the "are you effin' kidding me?!?! look"  Guess it is a masculinity thing... but I am predicting that a wine or plum color is going to be the next hot color in interior decorating.  There is no trust in our relationship when it comes to paint.

Ex: Gave Bryan full-reign on painting our office when we first moved in.... 
Yes - that is Miami Dolphin's Teal....Don't worry I Repainted the next Day in Bamboo Shoot.

But here are a few pictures of our bedroom minus the new bedlinens I want and a new light fixture to replace the god awful ceiling fan (we will be losing the fan once we get our AC installed - yes we are living in the stone age without AC - but again since winter seems to hate me this year it is okay for now).

There are two sections here - Bryan's side and My side - take a guess...
Wild Stallion makes his debute

And Miss Emily who saw the camera out and had to get in on the action





And this is what I want to replace our ceiling fan with - Loving West Elm's lighting right now!!!
So yeah - one project actually completed.  Bryan is happy and I am happy :)  just a few picture frames above the headboard and curtains and we might have a finished room in the house!!!!
As for other things in my wonderful life - the snow has returned - another 6" - sigh and I had just gotten excited about my dollar plants making it through the winter - yeah - they had buds on them and everything - the hydrangea even had green leaves!!! I even texted Bryan images of them while he was at work to prove that I did not in fact kill them this year... 
But next week I believe Spring will finally show up and stop teasing me... but until then I have a few tin pails that I picked up from the dollar section of Target that I am going to try growing Basil, Lavender Thyme etc in.  What I am actually going to do with those herbs I have no idea - but maybe Bryan can cook with them.  I just need green in my house.
Did I mention I wanted to paint our old desk a plum color... I might just "surprise" Bryan one day and prove to him yet again that I am right.
