So me and my hubby have been homeowners since march 6th!!! This is old news to some, but I thought Id catch up on the “going ons”. We have done so much in the house already its hard to keep up!!!!
So thats our house 🙂
One of the first things we did was paint my kitchen cabinets!!! I wasnt really into the whole dark cabinet look soo…..
I went with a blue-ish grey, from True Value i think the color was called wet seal or blue seal…I dont remember but it was a grey color pallet. Then we went with white accents and yellow for the walls! Ive still got lots more ideas so I am not quiet saying the kitchen is finished 😉 but its getting there!
Next I worked on my Kitchen cabinet handles…they were gross to say the least. I seriously considered throwing them away but I was encouraged by my little sister to try cleaning them. So we soaked them in white vinegar for a few hours… and I was amazed at how different they looked!! So glad I didn’t throw them away!!!
Next we started in on painting our living room, we have the main walls done and have yet to do our trim…
Our newest project is our floors, we sanded them down and stained them with “English Chestnut” Minwax…Its so much work!! And so much dust!!! but well worth it from the looks of it so far… 🙂 In other words I love it!! We still have our dining room and upstairs to do, but were getting there!
So yeah that the going ons of our new home projects for our first month!!! 🙂 Its a lot I know but my hubby heads back to work very soon for the Asphalt season!!! Looking forward to this summer!!!
Well I’m back, I have been re inspired after selling my first painting on etsy!! I am going to try something new this year and paint or draw something once a week…well see how that goes in the midst of me and my husband buying a house in the next few months.
Anyways about this painting, it is now up for sale on my etsy site – https://www.etsy.com/people/heatherstel1?ref=si_pr
Also, yes it was inspired by my drawing of the weeping willow. I love how it turned out, to me it looks like a dream… where colors are vibrant and nothing modern is interrupting the sound of nature, with the willow leaves rustling in the breeze as sun peaks over and hits everything it touches with warmth.
Ive always been a dreamer when it comes to these type of things, maybe its the artist in me, or maybe its what makes me an artist. Or here is another thought, maybe its the part in me that yearns for the beauty of this world that was meant to be… My spirit that yearns for God’s amazingness.
Amen, Yours Always -Artist
