This summer has been busy with the new online art stamp company, family, yard work, challenge blog, and projects. I’m on the finishing end of redecorating my youngest daughter’s room this month. She’s moving on to junior high in the Fall and desired a look in her room that was less little girl as she transitions into womanhood in the next few years. She still loves pink and so we added warm rose tones, warm golden faux finished walls, antiqued painted and distressed furniture and a sophisticated floral to the bed. Accents include teal Toile, hat boxes, crackle finish ceramic birds, silk-covered display board, a wire umbrella, beaded fringe on the lampshade, and a flower-like hanging lamp over the bed, among other lovlies. The armoire is still in progress, as is the bedspread and few small projects. But I’m out of time since August is filled with family time. So here’s a gallery of photos to share with you with some of the artwork I’ve been working on this summer. I hope it inspires you!
