Ever since we moved into our condo I have loved everything about it except our bedroom. It is a large room and feels a bit like it is missing something. A few things have come together to give me the idea of painting a fresco on the wall behind our bed. A combination of planning our trip to Italy, seeing some fun but funky wallpaper on a friend's wall, looking for something large to work on and Art Knowledge News have lead me to deciding to take on this large and exciting project.
I saw this Henri Rousseau painting in May and think it will be a great template for the wall. Luckily my husband loves the image also. I was worried that agreeing on a large wall idea might be a challange. The other challange is the window in the middle off the wall. I am sure the basics of this can be worked around the window. Sorry but I doubt I will start it before our trip so it will be long forgotten by anyone outside of our house by the time it is done.
I went to the city for a dinner last night and finally had a chance to go to Britex to buy lining material for my knit/crochet/beaded dress. Everytime I see it I am bothered that is was so much work and not finished. I think it will be beautiful when I can finally wear it.
Next week we are having our flat screen Tv's attached to the walls. I decided I needed finality to the furniture arrangement in the rooms with TVs. Today I got to move furniture around and I am very happy. I can't believe we have lived here a year.
Tomorrow I am going to paint a mug for Gary. I love painting ceramic pieces. If I had a lot of room I would have painted ceramics all over the place. Guess they are better left as gifts.
