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

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.

[@littlebohocottage]

Thank you for such lovely words! I'm so so happy that the videos have been enjoyable for you : ) You are so right ... the world is just filled with a limitless supply of amazing things just waiting to be explored : ) I hope you find something really, really beautiful to enjoy this weekend❤❤❤❤

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 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.

[@janinafisher101]

I wanted to watch one KZbin 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.

[@littlebohocottage]

I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos! And thank you .. I'm going to go put some leaves on them! A foot of snow ... ooh ... I know you Canadians are pros at handling it! I lived in Montreal for a bit and I was just amazed how life never stopped when it snowed. Here things do close when we get a lot of snow. But not up there! I guess it couldn't or you wouldn't get anything done in the winter! Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!💓💓💓💓

[@janinafisher101]

@Little Boho Cottage I think some of us WISH things would close down with that much snow! And now we've had even more. Walking Charlie would be a challenge! I'm glad to hear you experienced Montreal - much more cosmopolitan than a lot of the rest of the country. I was there for university for a couple of years. Interesting, vibrant city! You are welcome up here anytime - Charlie too!

[@paulinearfmann1852]

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.

Always look forward to your videos. I love being outdoors too and I can relate to your feeling of elation of working in the garden for several hours - and in January! Your friend's dresses are beautiful! I loved all the colours you were choosing from in your bedroom. That is a really neat program! For me, I love the mango yellow and the deep dusty rose. The greens were beautiful too...the swatches themselves looked like a stand alone piece of art! So fun to be creating your 'home' again. I am living through you vicariously while I wait for my island home space to open up this Spring. Thank you for creating your videos and sharing...I hate when they end and will often watch again. 🥰

I'm working on turning our second bedroom into my crafting room and the color in there is currently an ugly pale salmon pink, so I've been looking at painting it. The color I picked is called Sea Salt from Sherwin Williams. If you haven't painted yet, take a look at it. I know you'll love it!

I love watching you decorate and garden. I am planning what all I will plant this upcoming season. We still have lots of snow and it is snowing as I type. Our raised beds need the soil amended before we can do much this spring, but I plan on having more than I have in the past by also gardening in 5 pound buckets. I'm sure the garlic will be fine. I planted three sugar pumpkins in a 3 x 6 bed and they took over everything. I won't be doing that again! Oh, well. Live and learn. Can't wait to see that wallpaper up. It is gorgeous!!

[@veronicalombarte5802]

I love the circular piece that you moved away from the garden. It would look great as an entrance piece. Maybe use some chains or rope to attach it to some trees so it won't fall over. The pink shade you had to the far left was probably the best colour to blend your bedroom in with other pieces you have in there. It'd be good to stear away from the darker colour that you have in the living room. I thought the kitchen was bigger in the other home. But overall this one flows better. And at least you have heating in this house. It's looking fantastic 😍

[@littlebohocottage]

Isn't that circular thing cool!? I found out it goes on a silo. But yes ... it's GOT to be hung up as an entrance! But just by someone who actually knows what they're doing, lol, not me, lol! I hope you're having a wonderful week!💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

My favorite color is yellow. I like the soft custard yellow like the color you get from a warm lamp or the sun shine on the wall. I like the way you put the final choices on the computer to get a better idea of how it would look. Because the room you're coming from is dark, I agree a lighter color would look better and I liked the more muted color because it was more calming for a bedroom. It's funny how color can have such an effect on how you feel isn't it. I live in Massachusetts and you're right. I am itching to get into my garden. I get like this every year as february comes around. I've already ordered some seeds😁. In March they have the flower show in Boston and I love just wandering around seeing what feelings the different settings and plants evoke in me and give me ideas. Your video was inspiring and just made me feel good as well as giving me some motivation(which seems always necessary during the colder months)! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and talents with us.

[@littlebohocottage]

It's so true, Gail ... color has such an effect on us! It's why I take my color selection very seriously, lol! I'm glad you have a flower show coming up! It helps at the end of a long winter to get us ready for the garden. It's like a reward for getting through the cold season. You guys have gotten much more snow than us this year ... so I'm sure you're ready for spring!!!!

Thank you, Barby!!! We may be joining you soon with the 18 inches, lol. I can never tell around here. But February and March are often when we get hit hard with snow. But we're so close to warmer months: ) I'm so ready! 💓💓💓💓

That hoop thing would look great hung back up with fairy lights or maybe outdoor curtain panels like a gazebo.

[@littlebohocottage]

Oooh ... curtain panels could be fun! Thank you : )

Re-bedroom wall paint colour, yeh I agree the lighter colours look great especially from the view from the lounge area. Re-recipe I’ll be looking it up for sure, I’m plant based and celiac so it’s right up my alley so to speak 😉I’ll cut back on the sweetness too. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@littlebohocottage]

I hope you enjoy the recipe!!!! It's like biting into sunshine : ) And I think we all need that in the winter!💓💓💓💓

[@irenegarcia7356]

Hi, I found your channel recently and have been enjoying your videos. In one of your videos, you mentioned that you needed a salad spinner. Instead of a salad spinner, you can use an old, clean pillowcase or a large tea towel. Just put your greens in it the pillowcase or tea towel, and bunch them up or secure them with a rubber band, string, etc. Go outside and spin it with your arms, as if you are doing large circles with your arms, and that's it, dry salad greens.

[@littlebohocottage]

I love it ... it dries the salad and gives you a little workout : ) : ) Someone gifted me one ... but I still might try your way ... it sounds more fun!

[@karinlynncumming5397]

Dynasty looks good from here

[@margaretwillis7306]

You could to a cute DIY art piece with those samples! I liked the look of them lined up on the wall!

[@littlebohocottage]

LOL, I liked them up there, too! It would be cute to cover a whole wall in them!

[@teresalockamy6128]

[@littlebohocottage]

[@Kikatebnpagan]

The large circle would have had willow around it as a entrance, (porthole) I have in mind to do one myself as so beautiful if flowers grow around it..😊

[@hilarywallace9927]

The cottage is coming along. I love the Shrimp or Salmon for ur bedroom wall. I don't think you'll like it dark. Also' did u get the metal shelves for ur pantry area yet. Many blessings 🙏🏽💜 PS. U should wear gloves when doing all things outside because U can touch something that will cause u to break out. And u pet and hug ur dog. Be blessed 💜 I have a friend he was outside touching stuff pulling up stuff. And broke out real bad. Hand swole up real baddddd. Had to take Benadryl 3rd. Had to go get a shot. 💉

[@littlebohocottage]

You're so right, Donna ... I should definitely be wearing gloves! I love feeling the soil, though. But I'm always sorry when I end up accidentally touching poison ivy ... which happens at least once a summer! Sending big hugs!!!!!!💓💓💓💓

That garlic needs to be mulched -- under about 6 inches of straw preferably, but if you don't have or want to buy straw, you can use a deep mulch of those dry leaves you are raking up. The garlic will come up through the mulch. If you don't use mulch, the cloves may freeze and rot. The mulch will keep the ground from freezing. Planting in January, you'll probably get mature garlic by late summer or early fall.

[@littlebohocottage]

Thank you, Joanne!!!! I totally wasn't thinking about mulching it ... so I'm going to get out there and cover it up. I love the comments here because I'm learning so much from you all!!!! Thank you!💓💓💓💓

[@helen4976]

I’m in the southern hemisphere and we plant garlic during the winter solstice, in June

[@littlebohocottage]

I bet you have amazing garlic down there, too!!!

[@magorzatagala8392]

Have you tried a light box for your SAD? Or at least a full spectrum bulb shining on reading material should help. How great to be able to start in the yard/garden, you're gonna be so glad you made the move.
