Recently, a photo appeared in my memories of when I painted an accent wall teal in my niece’s bedroom. It was a large wall in a room with medium light.

Isn’t it fantastic how a paint color can transform a space from drab to fabulous? When I see my boho friend’s living room painted in a calming green-gray, I feel instantly serene, like a quiet morning walk through a dewy forest.

A few years ago, I moved into a sunny, white-washed apartment with windows that bathed my kitchen in soft morning light.
