CohabiTOT – living stylishly with children

I was going to write about spring cleaning. But let’s face it ; Carol Channing sang it best– “Your mommy hates housework, Your daddy hates housework, I hate housework too. And when you grow up, so will you. Because even if the soap or cleanser or cleaner or powder or paste or wax or bleach That you use is the very best one, Housework is just no fun.”

So Instead; I decided to write about  a simple way to freshen any room— paint! In the above picture, the white furniture comes to life against a turquoise background. And you asked, how did I pick the color?The answer is  after all the furniture, rugs and fabric were selected. It’s always easier to pick your furnishings first than trying to coordinate to a specific paint color.

Also, always always put samples up  on the wall.  What may look good on a paint chip may read very differently on a wall that interacts with its surroundings.
