After much deliberation, I painted the kitchen a lime green, the inside of the lime not the skin. I awoke the next morning and hated it! so I covered it with canary yellow.
This yellow gives a much needed weight to the wall, and beautifully anchors the photograph of a nude that I hung behind the stove (who does that? hangs art behind a stove, you ask, well someone who doesnt cook much is my answer), bringing out the black and white flesh of the image from under the layers of colours. I am quite pleased. I have two lounge chairs that face that picture. I've decided every seat in the place will face an artwork directly! How fun.
The panels of grass that I screwed into the wall, above the sink, do you see it? they make me giggle everytime I am in the kitchen. I feel as if I were outdoors washing my veggies or dishes. or that my being was overtaken by some wild vine! I love it. I found those panels laying around in the studio & grabbed them not really knowing what I’d do with them. And there they are!!!!
I’ve decided on a blue for the bedroom. It's the blue that resembles the state of Texas (see below). Okay, it looks like Texas if you were in a speeding space vehicle. I've painted the wall adjacent to the window and I AM IN LOVE! I love this blue in every kind of light. It changes. It's different at different times of the day! Delish!
A friend of mine accidentally told me I should visit a paint shop, specifically Home Depot! to decide on a colour. Is she mad? I don't dabble in paint squares! I commit to the wall and feel it. Tsk Tsk Martina!
A cooling, calming light blue. A blue that the sky would look like if you were to be riding a fluffy cloud and momentarily having fallen into its centre, you peer out and see a softer version of the sky before climbing out of said heavenly fuzziness.
That colour blue.
I want to work a purple into the apartment but I don't know where. It will be an entirely new colour for me.....I've played it safe until now. It's time for a change!
Maybe in the LOO!
All the best my fellow tiny apartment inhabitants! (you too Martina and Zoe, more on those two later....: ) )
A purple loo? Lilacs? Please, no plums!! Love what you have done with the apartment,dear! Love the grass and I gravitated right to it before I even read about it!! :) You need some on the floor that you can run your toes through! :) I even love the nudie above the stove, but I would probably have a male tushie!:/ And the blue is perfect!! Hugssss!!
