We Didn't Paint!!!



It's very strange to finish the holiday season without something having been painted. And, amazingly enough, I am not planning on painting soon.

My guests for the holiday admitted they didn't really feel the holiday spirit without the smell of paint fumes. Sad, but true.

I did, however, find some great inspiration for my bedroom. This was from the Elle Decor magazine, in an ad from Caravan Modern Couture Rugs. There isn't a showroom anywhere nearby, but! This should be enough to go on when I do start painting.

Imagine this pattern with a soft gray background, a silvery pattern thread and the entire wall "pearlized".

Maybe I should invite my holiday guests back to "do it right"? Maybe they were grateful to miss the paint fumes? Probably the latter.

  1. That is a really pretty pattern. I can't wait to see it finished!

    I suppose I should point out that between you and Doug, you managed to go to the hardware store 3-4 times--and STILL managed to come out without any paint!! :D Yeah, definitely the latter. Not comin' back for a while. Although, it does occur to me to wonder if maybe that's why your kids were so crazy--no paint fumes to calm them down... ;)

  2. Very funny, Julia! I think it might be sleep-deprivation that is the kids' problem. We've put them to bed earlier and earlier for the past few nights and they seem to be much happier. Amazing, I know!
