Notice the details to add interest under the window. I used picture frames and painted the area with semi-gloss Dover White by Sherwin Williams.
The walls are painted flat Netsuke by Sherwin Williams.

The Skyland Apartment (BEFORE)
The living-dining area of apartment was painted mint green that reminded me of “hospital” green.

Zelda Fitzgerald
I thought I would post one of my favorite Zelda Fitzgerald quotes. It seems befitting since she was always in competition with Scott and I posted his earlier.
“I don’t want to live. I want to love first, and live incidentally.” ~ Zelda Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Fascinating man because of the life he led and the woman he married. A famous couple’s life helps us realize what the jazz era was all about. Their love story goes from a fairy tale to tragedy with lots of crazy living in between.
Quote- “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.”
~F. SCOTT FITZGERALD, “The Crack Up”
Scott began to write The Crack-Up essays while staying at the Skyland Hotel in Hendersonville, NC November to December 1935.

Dreaming of island life.
Oak Island is so photogenic. I don’t think we have one bad picture from this place.

Skyland Apartment Makeover – Fresh Paint and Crown Molding Finished!
You can have inexpensive crown molding by using the cheapo small molding that is normally in a room already. Just come down several inches and put up another piece of cheap trim. Then paint in a creamy or bright white depending on your taste. We used Dover White by Sherwin Williams. It is a great white that goes with anything.

Skyland Apartment Makeover – Fresh Coat of Paint in Progress…
Our bedroom was Blonde by Sherwin Williams. I need a more calming look in the bedroom so I painted it Comfort Gray by Sherwin Williams. We also added crown molding.

Loreen In Evening Gown
About 6 months ago, I went with my best buddy, Loreen Potter, to the stitchery supply store. She let me pick out a picture for her to cross stitch. The picture was very intricate so I told her I was giving her a license to take her time, years if necessary. I promised to never ask how far along she was when we talk or get together.
When Loreen unexpectedly passed away, I was absolutely devastated. I will never be the same without her in my life. One thing that absolutely shocked me was when I went to her house after the news and her husband, George, told me to sit down because he had something for me. When he gave me the cross stitched picture, I couldn’t believe it. Loreen had actually finished it soon before she passed away. I wanted to share this lovely picture with you. I named it “Loreen In Evening Gown.”
