Since I shared the space that inspired my living room I should share with you my living room. I LOVE this house. I feel personality in architecture and space and our house is very matronly and sweet. She's not fancy, but she's caring & comfortable.

Every year the first thing to bloom at our house is our incredible Japanese Magnolia. I'm in awe of the beauty every year. Once the tree drops its petals soft green leaves come in and the rest of the city becomes awash in Spring.
Read MoreOur Little Bungalow: Exterior Paint
I've had the most incredible & exhausting week. I mean, it's not fun & games, it's work. But it's incredible. All work...except my birfffday when we got to meet a bunch of the cutest sea turtles you've ever seen & hang out with my darling Tamara. That combination is good for the soul. Plus my pops is in town, that's always a good thing. Work is bananas right now, delicious perfectly just ripe bananas. I've been obsessing about exterior paint colors for our little bungalow. I really love the idea of a grey house. Ok I love grey houses. Love. But I'm feeling like we live in the cutest little neighborhood & have this adorable house that could actually carry real color. When is this chance going to happen again? Play it safe? Go for it? Currently it's a dirty yellow with maroon and white trim. It's ok, not so cutie cute cute though. It's the maroon. I hate it. I hate maroon. It's just not a pretty color. That has to go for sure. I'd love an aqua house. But on each side of us is a blue house, seems a little much. & the house isn't into green, she told me. I'm thinking pale yellow with aqua & white trim.
So what do you think? Go neutral or go fun?
