A Corner Finished





A little corner done!

The sitting room of our Suite, freshly dabbed, the color even deeper and greener than before, new art, a repurposed TV stand. Candles for mood.

Despite setbacks, we are moving ahead, killing our daily to do list, item for item. Today it's about creating a fresh look in the other existing room, adding color to the mix in there and re-doing the art work.

People ask me all the time why I am changing the rooms when they are already perfectly acceptable. The reason is that while guests might be seeing the rooms for the first time, I need them to be fresh for my eye as well. The rooms are part of me, part of my pride. They contain my "art and soul" if you know what I mean, and to just look at them and say, "ahhh, that'll do" is simply not in my nature. Of course this adds some stress to my life but it also gives me a reason to keep creating and trying new things.

Changing small corners in your own evironment can help your overall mood and help you see your space differently.

Enjoy your creative day!

I love it! Like you said, the original color was great--but there is much to be said for a bit of a refresh. This casts the room in a much warmer light, I think.

I do love green paint. In spring or the depths of winter, when their is no green in sight...it warms the heart.
