So many painting projects

[primsong]

Wow, how did I let this much time lapse over here? Funny how our online habits make us go wandering off sometimes. I've mostly been working on our new house and it's a real time-sucker sometimes.

It was almost entirely grey inside when we got it - putty grey ceilings, walls, grey carpets. I swapped out black light fixtures for crystal ones and put in carpets in minty aqua, forest green, cream and fern-leaf textured golden tones. Walls went from light grey to green, pink, yellow, blue and aqua and then the fun began of painting accents and murals!

SUPER time consuming but I've really enjoyed the new look. And since we've had issues with water pipes and furnaces to take care of it helped fill that time so I wasn't so antsy about moving taking so very long.

First project was the grey ceiling of the third bedroom we're using as the art/hobby/guest room:



And while waiting for the various layers to dry on that one, here's what I was up to at the other end of the house. I was thinking "kind of art nouveau" and this is what I ended up with:

Thank you! I always wished I could paint walls back when we were renting, it's nice to be able to change things up.

So many wonderful accomplishments! You must smile whenever you see the lovely new improvements you've made.

Every now and then I find myself falling into just thinking of what someone else might like, then remind myself that I am the one who will be looking at it every day so if I want a particular color it's okay to go with it. I'm feathering my nest with feathers of my choice which I realize is a rare luxury.
