The Nursery is Painted...

The nursery has been painted for a while now. I have avoided taking pictures due to it being a disaster zone. But now that it is a little more organized, I feel a little bit better about showing it off. We have furniture for it (including crib, dresser, bookcase, and toybox) but they won't be here for a while and that is okay since baby will be in our room for the first while anyways. The murals are all hand painted on the walls.

The rocking chair will go in the corner with the tree, and the crib is going underneath the castle. The dragon is over the door to protect the wee one while it sleeps.

 

I got the idea for the tree from here

Proverbs on leaves.

I finished the painting that I started yesterday, I was itching to go all crazy kinda like my spirals painting. But I knew that I wanted to hang this one in the bathroom so simplicity is better. So I went outside and picked the first 3 leaves that I saw, they aren't perfect. That is the best part, you can tell that they are leaves but they aren't perfect. I wanted to hang something in the bathroom that had a daily reminder on it. So I paged through proverbs and picked this one. Can't wait to put it up once it dries.

Painting Spirals

One day a couple of months ago I got into a painting mood. It was one of those days where all I wanted was to sit down and mix colors. It was a blast! I also needed something to spruce up the walls in my sewing room. I think that this spiral collage does the trick. The print and random pages are ripped/cut out of my Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

I am painting again today. Right now I  am waiting for the background to dry, I love this color. It is kind of a sage green. It is going to hang in the bathroom and brighten it up a bit. Not quite sure what I am going to put onto the green canvas but that is the glory of art, it doesn't matter as long as what you feel gets down onto the canvas/paper/fabric/or whatever you are doing then your job is done.

Catch Up Post.....

Sooo I haven't posted in a long time, since this time July... 3 months ago. Anyways I moved into the basement of a duplex with 2 friends. I had to make my basement a little less dreary so my latest 'craft' was to put these ..... on my walls. Yes, i finger-painted them because I had no paintbrush thin enough. Oh and also, I did not do the vines on the fusebox cover... My fiance Jesse deserves all the credit for that one.
