painting.

 
The better part of last weekend was spent painting two of my larger rooms, the kitchen and the living room.  Here is a little snippet I shared on instagram.  I am really loving this new paint color.  It is honeysuckle white by Behr and I got it at Home Depot.  
In addition to that, I have been making little changes that I thought would be fun to share here.  A very special framed print of ours got a face lift with a new mat and a painted frame from my stash (I have a frame fetish - wink - so I always check my stash before thinking about buying a new one.)
Then I have been rematting a few very dear pictures.
The years have gone by way too fast for me.  How did these precious little ones grow up so quickly?  sniff ...
Two more paint colors I am playing with are reds and greens.  One of my kitchen prints got a fresh coat of "hidden meadow", thinking it was an apple - ish green, turns out it was quite lime-y.  Like scary.  So I improvised and sanded the edges for a distressed look.  I am loving it now.  wink.
I will be sharing more as it continues to come together.  There is still more painting to be done, plus a couple of sewing projects that I am anxious to get started ... right after I mow the yard.  wink.
Thank you so much for dropping by my little blog.  
I so appreciate you sweet comments and friendships!  xo

  1. Ahhh, nothing like a fresh coat of paint to make everything seem clean and spiffy! I'm painting the kitchen too, although in fits and starts. Sometimes I feel like nothing ever gets truly finished around here. I really love the print on the mat of the family photo, such a pretty way to make it stand out!
