That is a great magazine. Regarding that apartment with the painted Pier One screen behind the bed:

I have that issue of the magazine. The other rooms in that apartment are painted a shade of periwinkle or royal blue. I have been trying for MONTHS to figure out which shade of blue paint is on the walls in that apartment. If anyone knows, please comment. Thank you!

I constantly do this to change the look of my room. Right now, black. Later, who knows?

kirstin: bring the mag to your paint store and have them match in directly from the picture :)
