I am usually working on some little art or craft project like jewelry or knitting. With everything in my life being topsy turvey lately I feel the need to focus on some things I have been neglecting. Like the state of my house. It needs some TLC and quite frankly I need a change. So I have some ideas and I am doing the needed research. I plan to start in my bathroom. It's small and I can do experiments in there and see how it works out before I do something awful to parts of the house people may see.
The carpet here is awful. I am not a fan of carpet anyway. And my pets have not helped the situation. My labrador is only 7 months old and has learned to pull at the carpet and it runs in long stings leaving bare patches. I can't afford new carpet or tile so I have researched painting plywood. There are some good articles. I think I could do a good job and make it look artsy. And later if I can afford to replace the floors that will be fine too.
So I plan to gather my materials to do the bathroom walls and floor. It may take a few weeks. Then I'll take before and after pictures to post here on my site. I am excited. It is going to be a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. I have to pick out wall and floor colors. The only bad part is the yellowy colored tub. I am stuck with that....for now anyway.
Oh, yay! I can't wait to see!
