Remember when I just — finally — shared a pic

Remember when I just — finally — shared a pic of the green nursery? Well, we’re about to play musical rooms AGAIN, because this is an old-ass house full of small-ass rooms and this our pandemic pivot, I guess.

We’ve decided to have everyone’s bedroom on the second floor. You know: the level with sloped ceilings and a tiiiiiiiiiny half bath that my bear of a husband is not at all excited about. But he’s playing along (and will probably bump his head a lot 😬) because I’m starting a new recipe development project and our current bedroom (which pretty much only has room for our king-size bed) is right off the kitchen and gets the best light (it’s where I took that pretty drink photo this week). I’ve been lobbying for this change for ages, but all of a sudden, now that it’s happening, I’m feeling super anxious about it. Whyyyyyyy?

Anyway, cross your fingers we can fit our king-size mattress up the steep-ass stairs and that nobody falls down said stairs carrying the baby. (Okay, maybe I do know why I’m so anxious.)

Well, I guess I’m off to FINALLY finish painting the second floor 18 months after I started.

Inspo pics for what will be another cramped bedroom for us in my stories.

✨Here it is! My first original cocktail recipe since… the end of 2018, I think? Brought to you by my wonderful Patreon supporters! It’s a Lemon Vanilla Old Fashioned. Except it’s served in a coupe because all my ice looked like shit, and TBH, I like it better shaken than stirred. I made it like six times to get the proportions just right, or maybe just because it’s delicious and combines all my favorite flavors in one drink.

Just like back in the day, the link to the recipe (and maybe also a mini rant about #covidiots) is in my bio. And if you want to support me on Patreon there’s a link in my bio for that, too! Remember: Patreon supporters at the $7/month level get a bonus exclusive cocktail every month, plus some other goodies.

🎨The color so nice I used it twice! And not even on purpose.

When we bought our house seven years ago this was a shitty laundry room. But we had laundry in the basement so I pulled up the yellowed vinyl flooring and subfloor (while wearing open-toed shoes, thank you very much!), painted the trashed wood floors gray, painted the walls a wonderful sagey green, and made it my office. At some point, it basically became a Monica Gellar closet... until I had my FIL paint a warm white over the green so I could turn it into a nursery for Teddy. A few years later, when he moved to his second-floor room, it became my closet/dressing room and that was THE BEST since I’d been living without a closet for six years. Then before Charlie was born, I went back to living out of laundry baskets so I could make it a nursery again.

ANYHOO, because I’m so fucking sick of all-white everything, I decided I wanted a soft green. After staring at 12 paint samples taped to the wall for at least a month (but probably more like two months), I decided on this color. I joked to Kyle that it was kinda like the color we painted over three years earlier and that I was the worst hahaha lololz.

HOWEVER it wasn’t until I removed the outlet covers and started painting that I realized it was almost the EXACT SAME COLOR 🙈— at least in semi-bad lighting at night.

It’s called Miracle Bay which I think is from a company called Columbus or maybe Davis, but the label also mentions Valspar. Whatever... I bought it at @sutherlands_kc and there’s a pic in my stories today.

The good news for you? If you dig it and can’t find it where you are, you can surely find Sherwin Williams Halcyon Green — the very similar color from two paint jobs ago.

Whew. I need a drink after that. You?
