Color
Sigh…
I love it!
The more, the better
The crazier, even better!
The funkier, the best!
This is the “Mermaid Room”
It’s full of bright summer colors
and mermaids of course
This is where I escape for a little R&R when I can get away with it
A cozy chair to read
A Painted Canister which might or might not be full of secret treats…
The side tables, originally “pedestals” for a glass dining table, were decorated by lightly coating plastic wrap with paint and applying it to the table surface, creating a watercolor affect
This room has been a great haven for me this week as we vacation with DD’s family…a 2 month old and a 2 year old keep things pretty chaotic…and Super Boy and Big E arrived yesterday, so now it’s extra crazy…
“I feel like I’m living in a day care center,” said HH 😱
But when things get challenging, I can swim off and be with the mermaids for a while… 😎
Juicy Details
The painted pink sticks were found at a craft store, and the funky papier mache flowers were purchased from an artist friend years ago. You can see more of them at Hot Pink Fun in the Summertime here
