Remember this? This was my room when we first moved it. The fish were removed as soon as I had the free time. I do not miss those ugly, cold fish eyes staring at me.
Unfortunately, as the story generally goes in these old houses, there was a nasty messed up wall of lath and plaster underneath the paper. I have come to loath lath and plaster with a passion. So, for Christmas I asked for sheet rock to cover up that lath and plaster. I got my wish. I love, LOVE, my dad!
So I now had a lovely new wall to work with and this week it was finally painted.
I love my green room. It is such a soft, soothing color. And it is reminiscent of Spring (wonderful to look at when all the world outside my windows is white and gray)
These are my inspiration paintings. I have always like Claude Monet, ever since we first studied his paintings when I was about seven. When visiting any major museum, my first thought is, "Are there any paintings by Monet?"
The Japanese Bridge and The Garden at Vetheuil
I hope to continue adding to my collection as the years go on (hoping for another trip to the National Art Gallery someday).
The color pallet that Monet uses for his paintings are some of my favorite hues. I could paint a entire house using his blues, greens, yellows, and creams.
So, another room down.....on to the next! More pictures to follow!

What a lovely color shade! That shade of green is my favorite for home decor. :) And your Monet pictures looks soo beautiful hanging with the green background - good choice! ;D I agree, Monet's paintings are quite lovely. Hmm, maybe I should get one for my room...I think it's make it look nice and spring-like year round that way! :D
Blessings in Christ!

You have such pretty choices in decorating! Everything looks beautiful...it's surprising (and not-so-surprising) that you can transform a room like the {before picture} into something beautiful. :-)
L o v e you!
