Last night while in the midst of cleaning the house I suddenly got an urge climb up on the kitchen counter and do this:
This is how projects usually get done in our house – a spur of the moment breaking out of the paint cans. In the next week T. and I will be painting our currently silver hallway, the last room that has to be painted in the house (well, the last room he’s going to let me paint, even though I keep showing him colors that would look great in his office.) As requested, I’ll be posting a painting tutorial when we do it – I’ve gotten to be a pretty mean painter who now eschews both tape and dropcloths. Crazy you say? Wait till I show you how.
that looks great – the perfect number of letters and words for that space.
btw, i love your blog and your good taste – keep up the good work!
thanks!
Beautiful! did you freehand it?
BTW we will be at the studio all day tomorrow if you and T want to join us.
I drew a center line and made some spatial markings, but then yes, freehanded the lettering.
Oh I would love to come to the studio but tomorrow is the day of the big baby shower. But lets set up a time to come soon – I really want to show you drawing fluid silk screening, I know that you will love it.
i’ve always wanted to do something like that ,but never had the guts to. brava to you- it looks great!
Hildy – just do it! It’s only paint, which means you can always paint over it if you don’t like the way it turns out.
what a clever gal- love it! After all, it’s only paint -
Really finishes it off while pulling it together.
perhaps another one to please your mate-
“Always kiss me Goodnight!”
It looks fabulous; I like it’s meaning, too. I can’t read the fine print–who said it?
thanks! It’s a quote by the Dalai Lama – what a cool guy, right?
the Dalai Lama is w-a-a-y cool
