Painting

Well, all that painting I planned last week was put off – and we did the tough part today. Two of the walls. One is the largest wall and the other has the closet that we’re going to leave the doors off, but it has this whole wire/closet system in it. So, we had to paint around all that. Prime, Coat 1 and then Coat 2. Will do the window wall and other wall tomorrow – hopefully. Of course, this beautiful soft, pale pink looks amazing – but shows us that the ceiling is actually blue! LOL It looked so white up against the blue walls. Mom says she remembers painting it but you can certainly tell now that it’s blue. SO, that’s an added task. I’ll need to pick up a gallon of white paint to do the ceiling, the trim, and the door. If there is any left I’ll paint the old closet doors later when I go to make the cute magazine racks to hang on the wall.

It’s beautiful – the color is perfect. My hands are sore. Manual labor! LOL

We’re going to do some Wall Words or Wonderful Graffiti too.

Wanting to move my office stuff into this room too which means a new desk. The dark wood desk I have now won’t go. I like this:

I think I would get two. Set them in an L-Shape. That way I had a writing desk and a desk for my computer and equipment.

I think these are pretty additions to the room too:

I also love these….with white sheer curtains this would be so pretty:

Then, there is this that would be perfect for my office stuff:

We’re also going to try painting both of the craft items we have now – my kitchen island piece and the craft storage center that I got mom last year. They are a darker wood and we’re going to attempt to paint them sometime down the road. Will look really nice!

Okay, enough decorator talk. Working on bugs in the new store at My Digital Muse. That’s about all. Don’t forget your dreams and life lists! :)

December 28, 2006 - 12:49 pm Davita - Holly, everything looks so beautiful. I loved the Graffiti website. Maybe you said before but exactly what color paint did you go with? I have been looking all over for a good soft pink paint color. Oh, and I am totally loving MDM...very classy like everything you do. Hugs to Merlin, Davita
