one more project off of my to-do list

The flowery wallpaper is finally off of boy son's walls. He is so happy--my little contemporary design guy. He chose a wonderful grey/green color for both the walls and the trim. I was hesitant to paint over the lovely vanilla colored trim, but I did it and it looks awesome--so very sophisticated, so very "J". Big daddy took down the gorgeous old vintage light fixture and installed a sleek silver and black ceiling fan w/ lights. We added silver touches here and there (dresser pulls, outlet covers etc.) After searching every store in town for the perfect comforter I finally found one at JC Penneys..it's called Geology and fits into the room perfectly.

You might notice some sparkles on the walls--that was intentional. J wanted the walls to look like granite, so we added a package of granite crystals to the paint. The shine is yummy, but subtle enough for a guy's room. I also got lucky in the rug department of Sears. I found 2 two toned runner rugs that are almost identical to the colors of the walls and trim ON CLEARANCE! Woo hoo! It's funny how this project came together so quickly...I'm sure it's due to his infinite patience when it came to getting rid of the girly look his room had.

I'm glad to be done w/ that room, now it's on to mine and the studio. I actually started cleaning the studio last night (stay tuned for some bargains on books and stuff) I cannot work in that mess--it's too crowded, there is just too much stuff!

Nothing on the art front to share just now, but hopefully after the studio clean-up I will.
