Patrick: “What do you want for your birthday?”
Me: “The carpet ripped out of the bedroom!”
Patrick: “What do you want for your birthday?”
That’s how things went for the last month…and wouldn’t you know, I came home from Fresno this past Friday to find – the carpet ripped out of the bedroom!
The floor sans carpet, still needs scrubbing. DeAngelo’s legs! |
I couldn’t just do the floor – I mean times called for a full-on makeover. I went to Home Depot and chose my three favorite colors – bright red, tangerine orange and emerald green. The paint department was way crowded and when the clerk popped open my cans to show me the finished creations, everyone released a collective gasp. Half excitement, half in shock.
“Dear Lord! What are you using those color for?”
“You’re too young to like hippy colors!”
“You’ll never be able to sleep in a bedroom painted in those colors!”
Those were the types of comments thrown at me, but I just smiled and pranced away with my happy paints. I came home and DeAngelo helped me paint the walls.
“This looks like a boy’s playroom, Mom.”
“This room looks like a Jamaican recording studio!” Patrick gleamed.
Ah, let them think what they want! I’m going to turn it into a Mexi-Bohemian paradise of patchwork colors and textures.
One decision that I made was to move the computer/office station OUT of the bedroom. How many of you have your desktop in your room? Now that my art studio is so spacious, I have room to set up a writing station and I love it! I have better lighting, I can make my videos easier and share more crafty fun because everything is right here at my fingertips!
Tomorrow the tile will be finished in the bedroom and we’re buying a new bed this weekend. Glorious! Tonight I’m working on making some very wild drapes..stay tuned!
Felicidades,
Kathy 🙂

I don’t know why but trying to post a comment through the “networked blogs” never works I have to reload the normal page url.
Anyhoooo, if you had told me you were going to paint your room those colors I would have thought you coocoo but to actually see it I think it looks pretty awesome. I’m looking forward to seeing it when the b&w tiles and furniture back in.
