Hot pink, actually. And bluish gray. And a third, to be decided upon color.
I’m in New York to help a few people with apartment makeovers for one of the sites I write for. It’s exciting stuff! I’ll be painting three rooms in three apartments in as many days, and I expect I’ll be exhausted by the end of it. You can see what I’m up to by following me on Instagram or Twitter — I’m makingitlovely on both. (Heck, while we’re at it, I’m makingitlovely on Facebook and Pinterest too.)
Did I mention that there will be a film crew? I had to go out and buy some painting-friendly but cute clothes, and I now own several inexpensive pairs of cropped pants. Woohoo? (They’re not bad, really, even if I do feel like a total ‘mom’ in them.)
I’m going to be spending some time in Brooklyn and Queens, so I’m glad to be venturing out past Manhattan for the first time. Here’s to you, New York!
I love that print! Have fun, can’t wait to hear all about it when you are done!
omigosh you have the coolest job ever. enjoy NYC, can’t wait to follow along on instagram! :)
oooo what is that wall covering on the wall with the brass urchins / star burst thingies? is it sea grass or just a textured wallpaper of some sort? love the color. also love the crops! you don’t look mommy-ish, you look french!
Enjoy Brooklyn! It is the most amazing place in the universe…although I am slightly biased. So excited that you’re helping to make my borough even more lovely! Hope you have a great time.
Ooh…have fun! Looking forward to seeing the results!

I LOVE NY city – how fun and exciting! I can’t wait to see pics!
Sounds like fun! This is so random but where are those cute shoes from? They’re adorable.
Ditto the shoes! I love them. Think they go great with that cute outfit.
I love your outfit! Will we get a traveling style post?
Yay for the outer boroughs!
Hi Nicole, I just wanted to say that it seems like your life/job has been really interesting lately. I’m so happy for you, I know things were uncertain when your husband lost his job, but it looks like everything is working out. I’ve been reading since you were super pregnant with Eleanor and painting your front porch, so it’s been really cool to watch your life and career evolve. Keep it up!
Could you tell me who made your flats? Super cute? Thanks
Enjoy your painting time in New York – and hopefully you get a little down time to explore as well. It is a brilliant city as I’m sure you know!
Yay for Queens! Far too overlooked on a regular basis. What neighborhood?
Well, you may be in cropped pants (my uniform, by the way), but you are still the coolest mom ever!
I’m in love with that print. So nice! Enjoy the city!
How fun! I’ll be following on Instagram! (& that hotel room looks very chic!)
