Painting In My Sleep...

 I have been a busy girl the last few days. The weather was a bit nicer so I took the opportunity to get a few outside project finished and a few inside ones as well. 

Project completed:

Painted the porch

Embellished porch steps

Painted 3 vases

Painted mirror frame

Painted decorative frame

Painted the living room

The frames and vases are things I have had for a while and repurposing. I am happy with how the porch turned out. Now it is ready for spring. I would love to be able to get out and pretend I have a green thumb and get some plants in the ground. But it is just not quite warm enough for that yet... darn.

While I was not quite this ambitious with my porch painting project, below are some inspiration.

And on a completely unrelated topic I found this print that I absolutely adore.

This shop is a must visit!

More Door Painting...

As you know over last weekend I painted my front door. Then I came across a post at the Little Green Notebook where Jenny helped her mom paint the interior side of her front door...

Wow! What an impact! I may just have to do this little update to my door.

Paint Therapy...

This past weekend was one filled with paint therapy. Why? Because what sounds like torture to some is therapy for me. While the kids went up to my in laws and spent the night, I got busy painting two bedrooms. The only two I have had left. The two that can't be done while everyone sleeps. The master bedroom and the kids bedroom. Several months ago I found some cute curtains I want to hang in the kids room, but I had to paint first. So I am just now getting to it. Also I am in the midst of freshening up the master. You have seen the bedding, and now the walls are painted. If the nasty weather will hold off this week, my plan for upholstering my own headboard will be in full swing over the holiday break from work. It may take me a bit. I still have not decided on curtains, although I did get the lamps I have been swooning over. So what's left are: the curtains, headboard, end tables and I am almost there. It is amazing how paint can change a room though, isn't it? So clean and fresh. BTW, I did go "Green" with the paint. The brand I used was FreshAir. Sold at Home Depot. There was almost no odor. It was great! Well that's it for now.

Priceless...
