Is it Hot in Cleveland?

Not traditionally, at least for 9 months out of the year, it's not. I grew up 60 miles east of Cleveland for 18 years until I graduated High School. If there's anything about Cleveland is it's lack of heat and abundance of snow, ice, cooler temperatures. However the show that produced the name, is hilarious in the Betty White tells it like it is kinda sitcom show. I watched the first season on Netflix and fell in love with it's quirkiness and the adorable midwestern decorating that feels like home to me.

Bella Mia.

Valspar's Bella Mia color matched into Behr's Ultra Premium Paint.
It's our new bedroom color. The Secret Passage was a bit too cold and uninviting for a bedroom so I painted it last night. It's a creamy brown/purple/grey color depending on the light and we love it of course.
We're on our way to create the perfect mood board bedroom I posted about here.
Our dressers are secret passage-esque, just a touch bit more blue, so it works well with the color scheme.
The fancy bungalow trim is dark walnut and makes the wall color pop into an easy transition instead of such a stark transition like before. We prefer easy blending, not opposites. .
