once again my family proved how much they love me.
bright and early the day after the fourth of july (on our day off) they showed up at my door at 10am, paintbrushes in hand. and despite the humidity and the fact that i have no AC, they powered through it all: putty, sanding, taping, priming, and painting.
along the way we discovered there actually is a reason i dealt with all the short comments throughout my lifetime: i fit perfectly into the window, my ponytail just barely brushing against the top of the window frame. matthew didn't fit quite as well.
by 2pm i had four finished dining room walls, in four different colors. (well, we still need to paint a second coat...but that can wait) and now i can officially introduce you to my india-inspired opium den dining room.
up next: creating a wall-length wooden storage bench, scattered with silk throw pillows of all colors and patterns.
opium den?
ReplyDeleteLove to see the pics with all the colors. Don't know if there is a good way to capture it all yet. Love how it is turning out though.
Hurrah - a new post! I love the raspberry paint.
ReplyDeleteWill you be sewing the pillows on the new storage bench?
