Moroccan Blues

Is it me or does the world seem to be spinning faster and faster? 

Ever wish you could just spin the globe and stop it with your fingertip and just go? Well, we did just that and ended up in Morocco!

Earth's Rotation

No not really. But, we basically did the same thing for less than $100. Okay, not the same thing at all. 

Like a lot of young couples, we are on a budget, meaning no Moroccan vacations just yet. We also don't agree on everything. I know, I know, that is hard to believe. 

For instance, H has been begging to spice up our abode and I am kind of digging our neutrals. But, after a little coaxing we headed out to pick up some paint. To throw a little color on the wall. Four of them to be exact.

When we first moved in, our mud room looked like this.


Gorgeous! 

But, after a year (holycraponeyear) the Benjamin Moore Horizon Gray walls started getting a little scuffed up. 

As I mentioned, H wanted to add some color. After I vetoed the big green forest that he wanted to paint (no, I am not joking), we went with a deep blue. 
  

We chose Pantone's Moroccan Blue via Valspar. Not quite navy with a hint of peacock. It is bold and a little bit sexy. Yes, I just described my mud room as sexy. I need to get out more. 

Eventually, I would like to hang a fun piece of artwork on the far wall. Maybe a painting of a forest. 

It's all about compromise people.
