Still, I thought I needed to call my dear friend, Edward Armstrong, he of Edward’s on St. Simons, for advice. “Darlin’, Navajo White. That’s what they paint all the grand houses on Sea Island. Darlin’, it is simply the color to use,” he advised. Four people I trusted mightily said “Navajo White.” My gut screamed “don’t!!!” But I swallowed hard and agreed.
Well-made, timeless, Southern clothing for boys & girls.
After the first day of painting, my gut started choking my throat. I almost needed a nerve pill. My four advisors continued to insist that Navajo White was right. The next morning, I answered a video call from Tink. “Listen to me: tell them to stop painting now. You will never like it. Stop now.” My gut instinct wanted to hug his neck. Instead, I stayed the course and finished.

What happened? I spent six weeks repainting the entire master suite — all by myself because I needed to suffer for my sins — to a lovely shade of light caramel that tied everything together beautifully. In the future, should I ever consider going against my gut instinct, I will remember two words: Navajo White.
