bedroom painting project

we wanted to do something interesting with the paint in our master bedroom. the paint color that it was, while not only being poorly executed, was something similar to this.

the room is really big, so while it seems like it might be overpowering or seizure-inducing in these few photos, it’s not quite so dramatic while you’re in the room.

yes, i’ve been quiet. but it’s been a busy sort of quiet. to bring everyone up to speed: we’ve moved. carrie has taken another section of the CPA i’ve been insane mad crazy busy doing web work we’re preparing for our first guests at the house and speaking of the house, i guess i should […]

all's quiet on the western front

one year ago

what can change in a year; a job? a house? the city/state/time zone you live in? how about all of the above? yes, a year ago at this time, we were in the middle of executing our plan to move from Washington back to New Hampshire. we finished and sold the house, moved the trucks […]
