Pinked


I try really hard not to back myself in a corner with any one color.  It forces me to feel too matchy.  When I painted the studio a clean shade of white I felt the pressure to match all things release. The addition of the wall paper helps keep me reigned in.


Annie Sloan chalk paint in Old White mixed with Scandinavian Pink created this beautiful shade of powder pink.


Our old harvest kitchen table has been recently harvested for my studio. It was a yellow pine color in desperate need of some TLC.


Polka dot oil cloth makes cleaning the top easier.


It is my happy place.


A new little shelf on the end helps hide cords and clean clutter.  The buckets are for supplies and color.  (I added a few things for the picture).


Just a peek at a few stitches...

Cut and Paste


Santa came a little early for me this year.  Well, at least my order did and I just couldn't stand the fact that I knew what was in the box.  I opened it and mania ensued.  You will see...


I am not a willing wallpaper fan but be still my heart when I ran across this Cath Kidston paper.  


Two days...loads of paste and one wall later I am still in love!


The other walls will get a fresh coat of Swiss Coffee White.


This wall will be a full wall of shelves.  


Something similar to this lovely image found here for inspiration.


Tomorrow there will be a lot of painting and priming.  

Thank you Santa! (wink, wink)
