Ever since Charlotte arrived, she has been helping me figure out what to do with the very small space we live in. My apartment is around 800 square feet, in a lovely little neighborhood near several great coffee shops and a fabulous park.
Working at an interior design showroom is a constant reminder that I need to pay attention to the space I live in. I create installations, so spacial design is nothing new. But, I am the last person to pay attention to where I live--which I admit is a bit strange.
I have decided after some heavy inspiration that I will be covering several of my walls in pallet wood. I'm excited about it, but ripping apart the pallets is a lot harder than I expected . . . Luckily, my friend Gary will be helping me. My goal is to have the wall completed and beautiful items hung up and in place before Easter.
I have started on all of the painting. The wall opposite to the pallet wood wall will be green, basil something or other, and will be complete tomorrow. I have painted part of the kitchen in chalkboard paint, and the rest of the kitchen will be in tomato powder (sort of a salmon-y red). I love having a chalkboard wall!! The boys are going to go nuts when they come to visit!
And now I have a pink ceiling in my bathroom! The color is cool lemonade and I love it! I wanted to keep the beadboard white and couldn't quite figure out how to add some punchiness. Then, I looked up. Ceilings should always be pink . . . I'm almost positive. The lighting fixture and shower curtain will be changing shortly. But, for now, it works: it's sherbert madness!
