Mint Green Inspiration

Am I the only one who has a hard time getting back to work after a holiday weekend?  I hope you all had as relaxing of a weekend as I did.  We had some of my husband's family here and it was quite fun.  I didn't take a single photo.  I wanted to be more present this weekend and that meant NO CAMERA...or computer. 

It is officially the first day of summer break!  It's mid morning and the kids and I are still in our pjs.  That doesn't happen very often around here, but it feels nice.  I thought I'd allow the kids one day of pure laziness before the summer morning schedule begins {clean room, make bed, chores, dive team...}.  

For me there won't be much work going on during the day with four kiddos running loose around here, so the plan is for me to get up early so I can fit in a couple hours in the garage before they wake up.  Wish me luck...I'm SO not a morning person!  Anything before 6 is akin to death :{

I've been rooting around Google Images trying to find the perfect shade of mint green for a dresser I have waiting for a make-over.  Here's some inspiration.

    I am on the same wavelength - a bit over duck egg but not quite wanting green - I think eau de nil is my colour of choice at the moment! Am about to order some lovely dupion silk curtains for our bedroom from India - at least I hope they'll be lovely!?! Love your furniture and admire that you find the time for what you do - I don't seem to be able to although I just bought to lovely old bentwood chairs that need painting so I will have to try. Really enjoy your blog - it's the only one I subscribe to.
