Story 23: How to choose the perfect paint color (it's so hard sometimes!)

Published 2023-01-27
Hello, friends! I hope you've had the most lovely week! I spent this past week here at the cottage working in my bedroom and ... crazily enough ... the garden! It's hard to believe that it's warm enough to spend time in the garden in January in the Hudson Valley (upstate NY). I was able to plant some garlic that will hopefully grow??? It snowed on it the next day, so we'll see :)

And I also FINALLY went through the process of selecting a paint color for an accent wall in the bedroom. I've been dragging my feet a bit when it comes to the bedroom because I just wasn't sure what direction I wanted to go in. But with a little help from Photoshop ... I know what I want to do now!

What's happening in your corner of the world? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below : )

And as always, thank you so much for being here and watching. I appreciate all your love and support so much and can't wait to share more with you!

  • I'm new to your channel and am entranced by it. I've been going through your story from the beginning and was excited to see a new video today. I am much older than you are, and much of your journey resonates with me. One never needs to be old, there is just so much magic in the world to explore. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life, because I have learned that there is beauty and creativity that grows from confusing or difficult times.
  • Very few people are able to put colours, patterns and textures together as well as you do. I absolutely LOVE your boho style, everywhere is just beautiful.🥰
  • I love Charlie. There’s nothing like coming home to a pet that is so excited to see you their tail literally wags their whole body. ❤️
  • It would make a wonderful “Moongate” leading into the woods or your garden, thank you for sharing your daily life. X
  • I love your stories and seeing the cottage come together. I have to say that I love that pink. It’s just a fun, bright-not-too- bright color
  • Color is so personal, so intuitive and emotional. I can't wait to see the end result. You are going to make that little cottage so lovely. Props to you for getting out in the garden when it's in the 30's. I'm looking forward to videos about your garden as well. I'm so happy you were able to get the slightly larger cottage and the much larger garden. How wonderful!
  • I was so happy to see you had posted a new video!!! It was my dose of beauty and joy for the day!! Your sweet, little cottage is looking amazing! And lemon cookies on a wintry day? yes, please! 💛😊
  • I really love your videos, they give peace and the desire to slow down and enjoy all the little things our Lord make for us ❤️
  • Thank you 🙏 my new friend 😊 for making my day brighter today…. Those Lemon Blisses 🍋 and your warm wishes are so appreciated! Your talents don’t go unnoticed. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing. 😍 Best wishes to you too! I look forward to seeing your videos 😊 please keep them coming 💖
  • Can’t wait to see what color you pick for the bedroom! Love watching the transformation of your little cottage house. What a wonderful time to spend doing these things in the winter inside, and when spring comes everything outside will begin to transform also bringing it all together. You put so much love in everything you do and it shows! 💕

    Thank you for letting us be part of your journey....the colours in your cottage are absolutely stunning and I'm sure your bedroom colour will be gorgeous. I love your boots!! x
  • I love seeing Charlie. Living alone ; I am a widow for the last eight years. I have an adorable, beautiful Cairn terrier named Otis Ray ❤he’s the love of my life. he actually just turned six on January 15. I can’t believe it as he was 3 months old when I brought him home😢 He gets excited when I come home from church ❤he is my saving grace.🙏 I love your home the plus about living alone you can do anything you want any time of day. Although my husband never cared how many times I changed the color scheme of a room or moved furniture around.. thanks for sharing your home with us, have a blessed night.
  • I wanted to watch one YouTube video before going to bed and I said to myself "I wonder if Little Boho Cottage has a new video up yet? And here you were! Really loving your posts and always look forward to them. Can't wait to see your bedroom painted - and a full tour of the new cottage! We had a foot of snow where I am in Canada yesterday - it was so funny watching you plant garlic now. But it's the perfect time - as long as the ground can be worked. Your little garlic cloves will be snug in the ground until spring time. If you have maple leaves around they are a good mulch to put over them... or perhaps birch leaves. Any leaves really. If you put mulch and then some light branches to keep them down until the snow does that, then take it all off as soon as it starts to warm up in spring so the ground can warm up they should be very happy.
  • Oh the yellow dress with the sun shining through was absolutely golden and beautiful!
  • Your hoops you could use as a tent or put a bug net up. It would look nice if you had it standing up and had vines climbing around it. It’s so nice to see there are beautiful people like you around. God bless you.
  • @HuntleyHollow
    Im sure what ever color you choose it will be awesome! You have a great eye for the simple boho style 🌿🍃🪴🌸🌻

    Loving that pink wall. The contrast was really nice with the dark wall but calming and tranquil too. That program was nice. I need to utilize that myself. That dress company, boy was I thrilled you shared that company. I'm planning my first purchase next week. You made lemon shortbread and I made lemon poundcake and shared with a few members in my congregation.
  • Mummerations.... When starlings fly in extravagant formations. They are so incredible! Thank you for capturing it in your previous video.
  • How wonderful to sit down with a cuppa and watch your Little Boho Cottage videos. I love everything about them. The style.The colours. Getting the chance to explore the lovely area you live in. And Charlie...he's so cute...❤️
  • Your new dress is lovely on you. I have to admit, I love your videos so much I watch them through 2x immediately:)
