I love to write and create. I also want to share my interest in photography, gardening, family, art, decorating, Christian faith and my enjoyment and gratitude to God for creating me and allowing me to thrive in my home setting. I love making my house a home. I am determined to 'bloom where I am transplanted'.

Painting the Playroom

I've begun painting my playroom. Sort of looks like a tornado went through... you can see the 'before' beige and the 'next phase' green.  Curtains will be changed.  Art work moved around or replaced from within my stash.  The work table is loaded up... I pull things out from one wall, paint, and then put furniture back. One wall at a time. As you can see, I can nearly reach the cieling line.  Handyman has not yet inspected my progress. (I am doing very well, thank you--no paint in my hair yet, but yes, there is on my clothes...)


The color is the same as the living room, but I'm not having the emotional issues with it like I did the last time. And the color looks much better than it does in the photo. The wall color is the same color as the storage cabinet in the photo, and I have to say, this time around, I am pleasantly surprised.  I am going to have to buy more paint... can't help it.

My little 'Fluffs' (daughter) digging in mama's flowers, age 2.

As I was moving things around, I realized that this may be my accent color... pink and hot pink! See, this is my fun workroom, and I can make it any color I want.  We are having wonderful temps, so I am able to open the windows a bit to let in fresh air while painting.
That's the end of the tour. Back to work!

Joy, it's super! You're an artistic handy woman! You can combine fun with pink, yes! But other colors will do well. Enjoy it and do not rush. A beautiful piece of work!
