Part of my Summer Clean up post National Board and School Year chaos was to reclaim my sewing room. I finally have breathing time and I have sewing projects to finish which makes this project a timely necessity. We had been using it as a secondary office for studying and my Sailors contract work when we was home.
I hadn't done anything to the walls after we moved in and it was sorely in need of attention. The previous owners had removed whatever wall paper and painted it a lovely butter yellow. Unfortunately when the sun blazes through the windows it's like the sun is IN the room. I chose a green with blue undertones to mute the glare of the light and I really love how it turned out.
The paint is still drying here. On the wall on the left you can still see the wallpaper glue the previous owners didn't remove but painted over. After the four-day fiasco of doing boy-child's room I can understand why. I will eventually either have to cover the walls with paper or sheet rock - neither of which do I want to undertake right now.
I didn't get started painting until 8:30 pm as it took about an hour to empty the room of "office mode". I was working on other projects from my list during the day too. Once I started, it only took about 3 hours. I was surprised how fast it really went.
Here it is all finished! After I hung the curtains, I remembered I had this lovely garland and decided it was just what the window needed. I LOVE how it turned out!!! I still need to find my Ott lamp and put up my flannel board for pieces, but that's a project for another day.
It was rainy and overcast today, so there isn't a blaze of sunshine. The colors are soft and muted to the eye, but it doesn't read well for my iPad w/ no flash. I will replace it with a better one when I get the chance.
