My 19-year old daughter Jamie and I decided to switch rooms. One, because change is good every now and then. Two, because I spend so little time in my room, it’s sole purpose being for sleeping a few hours every night. I literally live in my studio. Jamie, on the other hand, has her computer in her room. This is where she not only sleeps, but studies and reads. She needed the bigger room…
Three, my hidden agenda: I love to paint walls. Housekeeping is not #1 on my list, but I do love the smell of clean. And painting forces one to clean. So for the past 10 days Jamie and I have been busy sorting out and reducing clothes and all sorts of bedroom and bathroom items, painting, washing windows and shades, scrubbing and waxing floors. I’m afraid I have been somewhat of a traditionalist when it comes to home decor, so I wanted to try something new and — for me — bold. Her’e a “before” shot of my bedroom:
And then the wall color I decided to go with on my bed wall (the rest is white). Now I just need to decide what goes on the wall…
I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I am learning how to dye my own fabrics and am dabbling with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.
