Blue

I won’t pretend that I’ve been painting all this time. Actually I’ve been away working on a collaborative project that I’m not ready to talk about just yet, so it was only yesterday that I picked up a paintbrush again.

This is the studio lobby that’s now blue, and my some of my favorite tools — the terry towel and the lowely plastic shopping bag. If you use a shopping bag, remember to cut of the printing (because the ink can transfer to your paint) and the handles (because they can leave funny marks.)

This crazy little window between the lobby and next room, I’ve never liked it. But now it’s kind of nice because you see the blue against the green. It’s a lot better than the brown that used to be here.

  1. I was wondering if you can share with me the name of the blue colors that you used for your studio lobby. I am planning to paint one of my rooms with the same faux painting idea that you had.

    Hope to hear from you soon!

  2. I love that blue! and the green peeking through the window is fabulous.

  3. There you are!! Nice colors. We have been painting our bedroom – cocoa brown and a sort of grayed turquoise. I love to paint rooms a new color. Actually, I like to select and watch while Mr C does the painitng.

  4. LOVE the blue & green together!! Hmmmm might have to try some of this in my house….

  5. I can’t either! There’s still several rooms to finish, but at least we’re finally starting to see an end in sight!

  6. AH, that’s a very nice soothing blue. Faux painting gives the walls a much nice texturer than a flat shot of color. Can’t wait to see how the whole looks when finished. :-)
