This has been a busy week, all of a sudden I am redoing my bedroom 😳
I had mentioned to HHjr that the next time he had a hole in his schedule, I would love for his guys to paint my bedroom
Next thing I knew, “hey Mom, it would really help me out if the guys could paint your room tomorrow, my tile shipment for the scheduled job was delayed…”
Yikes!
“Sure, if I don’t have to do A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G…”
“Of course not, we will handle everything” he promised
I knew what color I wanted,
a warm creamy white
but when the room was finished one of the paintings wasn’t working…
the blueish purple flowers had to go
Of course I could move it, hang it in another room…
but other than the purple it was actually perfect
Hmmm…
I have been doing pretty well keeping up with the February Doodlewash Challenge prompts and couldn’t help but think of the chameleon I recently drew
Chameleons certainly aren’t afraid to change color!
So I took the painting into my studio and changed the purplish blue to creamy white
The purple is still apparent but now it comes across as more of a gray shadow…
and it actually works!
Now I am not recommending that you take license with expensive works of art,
but this is one of my own paintings and I just had to experiment…
Paint can work wonders…
I’ve had this vase for years…it’s not a valuable antique, just a purchase from a Home Goods type store
And I Transformed it with Color and added a row of black dots around the neck of the vase and a few dots scattered on the background
I love it now!
So don’t be afraid to rethink things and perhaps change a paint color on something!
Or use color to go from plain to fanciful!
I haven’t quite finished decorating the bedroom, but will share soon…
In the meantime, remember the chameleon and Be Fearless!
