Saturday Sunshine

Hi everyone. Happy weekend. 

I was awake and up this morning so I walked early to catch the few rays of sun before the clouds moved in.  In fact, by the time I got home  an hour later it was cloudy.

For a little bit it was a glorious morning as the sun came up. 

The sun was rising; the birds were singing; the air still had some overnight crispness to it.

Good morning sunshine. 

We only met 2 cars at this hour, so the dogs got to do some running free. Not that they go very far, thankfully, or they'd never be let off their leashes.

We have more house chores are going on here. I've been busy  painting the walls of our spare bedroom project, plus it is time to start doing some yard work. (When it's not raining that is.) Those types of chores are very exciting to me because it means 1) we're getting closer to finishing the bedroom project and 2) gardening season is arriving. Soon there will be pretty flowers blooming. 

I know my husband doesn't think he'll get a lot done this weekend in the spare bedroom

 because I need to finish painting the walls, but to do that we need to move the furniture back to the other side of the room, which will block the skylight that he needs to trim out.

This past week I needed to pick out wall paint colors. At first I was thinking bright walls would make the room cheery. Yellow, warm like sunshine. I could spray paint some of the "furniture" I have white before it gets put back into place.

Picking out a deep warm yellow paint is practically impossible.  After several attempts I ended up here. I like this color, but not for my art space.  I decided that it was too much color for my small room. I think the walls would be way too distracting  when trying to make art.  

I decide my art should have the color, and my walls are not the art. I have lots of paint left though, so I can use this someplace else. Hmmmm. I'll have to think about that.

I then decided to paint the walls a nice basic even a little bit dull beige. Ignore the lighter spots on the walls where there is still some wet paint.

I guess my wall colors are like today's sunshine. Bright for a little bit and then clouded over.

I do like the effect on the drips on the floor though. 

And I think this color will work great for the room.

The good news is I did find a very colorful rug to put under my worktable so I don't ruin the new floor (when it gets put in) with anything I spill.  The rug is even one of those outdoor kinds so I can remove it and spray if down with the hose if I need to. And if I spray paint the few pieces of "furniture" a brighter color, I think I'll get a nice balance in this space. You'll have to wait to see all that until the room is more complete though.

That's all that's new here. I hope you have a wonderful day of sunshine.
