and how do the kids feel about it?

I'm doing some more updating around here...this idea was spurred by Pinterest. sorta (big sigh) and I really thought (insert light bulb moment) "Hey! this is exactly what I should do in the dining space!"   And oh my goodness, not going to lie, it was fun! and went so quick! and painless!

Note to Self:   I'm going to paint the dining room like I paint my canvases.  Lots of drips, texture - umm, should I really do this?  Who cares!  (Now I go into "justification mode")  "It's paint" and "easily changed" and "there are 2 huge windows, a glass door so, you know, really it's not a big deal". 

{insert drum roll}   I chose 2 shades of blue and 1 shade of yellow I used in the foyer (see previous post) and I found a can of white left from the previous owner (thank you sir!).   One wall has a strange cutout in it so I put some nice little green for now plants

It's a fine line...

I thought today I would share a glimpse into my world outside of the canvas - if you know me at all or read my bio you also know I love to not only paint on canvas but I also love to paint walls...and chairs...tables...scrap wood (I'm serious), you get the point.  A "new" house in January means LOTS of swirling ideas, some a little crazy (you will probably get a glimpse of that later) and some are BOLD but I love any and all ideas thus far and my kids really LOVE when I tend to decorate out-of-the-box.  I'm still "cool" in their eyes and I'm going to work that as long as I can. 


Below is a recent project (sorry, a phone pic) in my front entry, foyer - we HAVE a foyer, yea!!  The letters I gathered randomly in my flea market excursions and are the initials of the 5 little people who call me "Mom"...."Mommmm".."Mom, can I?"....and "7" is we're a family of seven (go figure).  I don't know why I feel like I need to explain the meaning behind my ideas :)
Enjoy, have a great week!
