Perfect for the room, for my feet, for my glass of vino, for TV remote! What else would you be doing in these days, aye?! Cheerio Dace | While it's still fresh I shall share some DIY happenings in our house. I have these spontaneous ideas of how to style our home.As it is very difficult to get samples of paints, floors, timber even tools to do the job in these pandemic times, I have ideas in my head and I try to visualise how it might look. Well, I know, modern day problems!! We have nice glass coffee table but when I got opportunity to get an old tired leather ottoman, I knew it will be perfect fit for sitting room. After some TLC of course. It was brown leather and now it is mustard yellow. It is unbelievably easy to achieve good result these days because most paints are good quality as long as you pick the right type of paint. |

and I am loosing battle of organizing it all. I have purchased extra space on Drive, uploaded rake of stuff on Hard drive. I don't have skill and patience to think it through and organise my stuff. You know what, creative people often are chaotic and messy! That's me all over!
Chat to you soon... hopefully
Next might be post about my leather puff painting.. Cheers Dace
I have earned no money this year and spent all I had on the house in beautifying efforts. Ooh, how I loved that part! The spending, I mean! :D And of course decorating part has been blessing in these times.
I cannot justify my complaining, it will all pass. By the summer it should. Just a week ago or so I have gone on a mad one! ![]() Booked 4 online courses to learn new skills and create some stuff. Ordered materials I will be using and I AM feeling very upbeat. Pumped up, lads ! feeling pumped up! I might be just influenced and unconsciously guided by that Vision Board I made for 2021. Year doesn't matter, but time line is kinda important. It is Joanne Condon's short course of How to make Vision Board. I think I made mine quite right because every time I look at it, it makes me smile. Just leaves me feeling happy. Calms me bloody nerves!!! Roll on 2021!!!! I am ready, armed with cement bags, carving tools, paint cans, plywood sheets, saws and staplers, galore of books to read.... Talk to you soon Dace ![]() Back in May I had anniversary of my absence on my blog and website and I thought I will come back with great blog post of all the wonderful things I was doing and beautiful projects I completed... Nothing happen! It is September and I am dragging myself back to where I was and enjoyed to be. Which is having a little chitchats about my artsyfartsy projects. Is this like taking up running and hating it at first? ...and after some time when you have done more running, it gives you joy!? Yep!? I am not runner or gym goer but I thought i'ts the same take.
pfuu, I have forgotten that yellow is difficult colour to work with. it requires many layers of paint to cover nice and smooth.
anyways, that's done now! i'm delighted I did it and now just have to wait for perfect place to have it! for now it will emit light in our bathroom! it is indeed shining yellow light. Cherio Dace |
