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.

a little bit of furniture makeover ...

30/5/2019

well, this is going to be last post in may :) 
​
just before going away to my sister I decided to go ahead with some long time ago purchased general finishes milk paint in super sunny yellow.

just had that feeling that the one solid wood shelve unit I have need something. 

I decided it needs a lot of yellow :)

one of my airplants will be blossoming! Soo excited!

a have not done furniture painting for some time now and I felt like I have lost some skill but hey!! little bit of head scratching and it was not so bad.
I glued scraps of wallpaper on the back plywood and covered with clear  top coat I had bought general finishes as well. 
I needed couple of coats of zinsser primer and many many coats after of yellow paint
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.

I think it's worth to remind you, I'm not a morning person.
not in the slightest. One day I decided that I'll put up this little lovely piece with little cheerful quote to get me up and started in the mornings.

Hello sunshine!! 

Not a hope in the world. It did not cheer me up, it even made me cross and angry. and not smiley!

​Today I change the letter board to my real natural me:

​

this should cheer me up! :)

if I'm honest i don't know any household ... any at all, where décor has been moved around like in my house. I know it's trendy in America but i think if people would know how it's I'm my house they would think I'm bonkers. hmm... 
click on this link to spring décor 
and now when easter celebrations are over I have to think about summer. summer décor. ahh, I wish I could just let it be and don't change stuff around.
lazy décor for this year... anyone! something that I don't want to move! that's the key! I have to look at it and don't think ahh sure, next will be fishing net and urchins hanging from my mantle piece or should I drill few more hooks for few more wall art which I have plenty off. 

maybe you know if there are any vitamins for laziness :) or against creativity urges.
hmm... i kinda like to do seasonal changes indahouse. Like, yesterday I changed my kitchen table cloth with new oilcloth in cappuccino polka dot. da! :D and pulled out our placemats.. fancy!
and today struggling to keep my hands still with newly purchased cement background for photos. I think I know what I gonna do! ill take new images for my cement pots and plants.
or try that photo Speedlight on some kinda funky project, like photographing water drops falling or maybe still life....
​ahh sure  
and why not.
