Well the painting is done! It looks better than I had anticipated. I am in the process of putting things back together and have to get window treatments, but I'm actually okay with the color and I think Chris is too. It goes well with our flooring and bedding, so I'm going with it for now. It's just so nice to have it finished!
I am looking into shelving. Our house is small with not a lot of storage, so I am looking for a way to use the space up high where we don't put pictures. I have a lot of dolls in storage I would like to get out and put on display. So there is that part of the "project house" that I'm still pondering.
I'm just amazed at what a bucket of paint and a brush can accomplish. It makes everything feel fresh and new. Too bad life isn't so much that way. When things are stale or just plain a mess, there really is nothing to slap on it all to make it shiny new. One really has to move through the process of decluttering and altering a life to make it better, and it's much more complicated than a bucket of paint and a brush!
We are making plans for the future, wondering which road we will take in the next couple of years. So many options, and contrary to what is often said, lots of options are sometimes as bad as no options, but we are in a place that is far enough back that we do not have to make immediate decisions, and it is nice to look at different possibilities for the future. Lots of big things on the horizon, but for now I'm rejoicing in having finished my project with my bucket of paint and brush :)
