one week to go


and colleen will be here (btw, that is part of my studio, with a drawing in progress on the board, you can also see my 'comp' which is the layout and photo refrences i am working off)

bernie did the heavy cleaning in the bedroom
he is to do the scraping of the ceiling in the bathroom so we can paint
i would like the living room and front hall painted as well but that isn't going to happen before colleen comes

meanwhile it rained yesterday so i couldn't finish painting the arco boxes for the studio.....
next i will do the green and blue plastic drawers

i have been looking at fabric patterns and wallpaper
i intend on covering a bookcase with either wallpaper or fabric, as well as lining my shelves with it and covering some storage boxes etc
i can't decide
i love toile
i would LOVE vintage laura ashley ( wild cherries in plum and cream.....my FAVORITE)
i would also love a french stripe interrupted with bunches of sweet violets
or a violet patterned toile...( be still my heart)

and if that all fails some of the 1940's chintz patterned chintz?

oye

now i have a red/cream/white toile for the kitchen, with BEE SKIPS on it
i wonder if i could get away with a toile in the studio
(and probably also the bathroom.........i really do like toile)

when i was 16 i 'redid' my bedroom
i had black and cream toile cafe valence curtains ( the awning type, with the two rods, not the flat kind)

over wood shutters (3/4 of the way up the windows)
cream walls
fuchsia ceiling and bedspread
and a country blue tile floor ( couldn't change the floor)

did i mention i really love toile?

i also love the romantic roses but i would rather have sweet violets

anyway
everything i do in the studio except the windows will be able to come with us
i don't want something too fru fru........cause bernie has a model building workbench in here too
and i don't want something that either me or the cats are going to trip over
so no ruffles or lace
but i am so tired of a hodge podge of castoffs in the studio
that's why everything is going to be painted white (actually cream........ cause cream is my 'white')
that will unify things a bit and give my poor beleaguered eyeballs a rest no?

and more storage with LABELS
i found a bag of glue sticks yesterday and can't find the glue GUN
and i have two of them!
this has to change

so today after we eat it will be off to home depot
i need an outlet strip that has an on/off switch and a long cord
some cream paint for plastic (and primer)
a storage container for the glue sticks and the guns (when i find the guns their home is waiting)
and hopefully a paper rack
but that may mean office depot as well

oh, i also need some mugs and some art supplies

hmmmmmm
i need to go shopping!
