Today felt like a never-ending day {Saturday}, BUT I had a wonderful set of ladies in my 1st Advanced Chalk Paint class, and it was so much fun! I actually can’t wait to do another one. I actually took a little time and played on my own sample board. My favorite part of doing the classes is seeing all of the color combos folks use. I find the unintentional color mixes are usually the best ones! Today, a couple I loved:
– Napoleon blue w/ primer red wash/dry brush
– Emile & olive together with wash/dry brushing
– Old violet & Emile
I also stocked up the shop with furniture & some sale items, so swing by Stifel & Capra {260 west broad falls church} and find a treasure or two!
In the mix of all this craziness that is my life me husband is attempting to get me on board with renovating/building onto our home {like I don’t have enough going on!}. So I looked at the Architect sketches today and, of course, immediately had a strong opinion. My hubby’s response: well, sketch out what you were thinking! So I guess in my spare time I’ll be drawing up some sketches of what is in my mind for our ideal home renovation. This is all a bit of a pipe dream, but I was interested in at least looking into the cost since our house is so tiny:-).
I’m off to bed to work on sketches for the house and 3 little boys' rooms for a design client in Arlington. I love this part of my job!
The front of the house I liked… it's how the addition and use of space I didn’t love 🙂
