I went from this:
TO THIS:
I am pleased and proud of myself. When I moved into this house I had fans installed in three rooms that held the most heat. I paid someone to install them. Then, I watched him do it for future reference. Granted he did it in under 2 hours. I took a bit longer than that just to install one but still....I did it! Now, the Master Bedroom is airy and cool at the flip of a switch.
I have completed a few projects in the past weeks, mostly because there is no hiking in the smoky heat we are experiencing here and also, I grew impatient with myself thinking about my projects but not actually doing them. Sort of like my blogging habits of late.
There's the mirror:
Amazing what a little paint from the craft store can turn into. Lots of colors and a spray-on glaze.
There's the nice pillows from a garage sale that were a very boring beige (that color is just haunting me lately) which I recovered with something a little more colorful.
There's the vast array of thrift store frames I am painting and glazing black for a photo gallery on a wall. There's finishing a dress I started making (when I lived in LA) that needs to be finished. There's, of course, more painting to do...specifically a hallway, an office, a guest bed and bath. Good news is I think I have figured out colors...why this takes so long I do not know...but I spent alot of time mulling over colors and my living room came out so cool. I really like it. Here's the corner into the hallway that I was so excited about doing:
I am feeling accomplished! So I rewarded myself with a trip over to the newest addition in Carson City fine dining:
Gotta love the crazy chicken!
