Coloring Inside the Lines

Finally!

I finished painting the rug on floor of the dining room, (Woot woot!! Toot horns and dance jigs!)…

And then immediately moved in everything, including the Christmas tree, the minute the sealer was cured enough to walk on.

It went pretty much like this:

The dining room was the last in this batch of rearranging I’ve been working on since Logan moved into Supported Living, and Mike and I reclaimed the whole house and emphasized its function as studio space. I still have refining and reorganizing to do here and there, especially in my painting and paper studios, but overall I’m done, and it feels great.

And now I’m going to go have dinner in my new cozy dining room by the light of our faithful old Christmas tree.

I said it feels great? What was I thinking? It feels AWESOME!

Dining Room Painted Rug, Part 2

Gaaaaahhh! Caught not quite finished with my project. I really only have one or two more colors to go and then the sealer, but for now I’ve got to call it a day. Here’s today’s progress sequence:

We’ll see how dedicated to this paint job I am tomorrow. NOT! It’s Thanksgiving and I am getting excited about that. I got my pies and the cranberry sauce made today and the only brush I intend to pick up tomorrow is the basting brush! Gobble Gobble!!

New Dining Room Painted Rug, Part 1

By melissasasichambers My Artist Home

It would seem there are very few projects lately which can be accomplished in one day, making this whole daily blog post ambition, well, ambitious. I wish I could accomplish things as quickly in real life as I can in my cartoon fantasy brain. Guessing I’m not alone.

So, today’s project (which will probably take up to four days but I will attempt to cram into two because I also have Thanksgiving and decorating the house for Christmas to get done in the same four days) was painting the “rug” on the floor of our new cozy dining room. The same room which used to be Mike’s studio.

Today’s post is going to be short and to the point because I’m just going to show you my progress so far:
