Oh what a week this has been! To my surprise, for Mothers Day and
my upcoming birthday the kids decided to paint my bedroom and
all the furniture! Imagine the excitement and upheaval that caused!!
I was amazed at how after seven years of the kids nagging me
to choose a colour. This blog post orchestrated a conclusion
and a solid choice was made! My version of a neutral, dark teal,
already painted throughout my loft and hallway!
my upcoming birthday the kids decided to paint my bedroom and
all the furniture! Imagine the excitement and upheaval that caused!!
I was amazed at how after seven years of the kids nagging me
to choose a colour. This blog post orchestrated a conclusion
and a solid choice was made! My version of a neutral, dark teal,
already painted throughout my loft and hallway!
Afraid I may change my mind the kids rushed to get the
room started!! Giving me the respect of changing my
mind waited until preparations were done before grabbing
the paint! I assured them Adriatic Sea was the colour,
still they asked several times! I'm truly impassioned
about colour so a final decision never comes lightly!
Very particular when making decisions. I always start with my
favourite colours in the moment! In this case every choice seemed
to have some sort of deterrent! First it must withstand the test of
time since I no longer have the capacity to paint my own walls.
The work needs to be done by others. So many deciding factors,
yet it was in front my nose the whole time! The colour
that I stare at daily! It was too obvious to acknowledge!!

keep and toss!! A few emotional moments occurred while reading
through several old bits of writing! I'm being very selective about
what stays and what goes into my renewed space!
The majority of the walls upstairs in the loft and hallways
all match my room with Benjamin Moore Adriatic sea
paint! What a glorious surprise the first morning sun shone
in my room elevating the colour to a new daytime beauty!
With different lighting it changes to a rich jewel tone!
Where as the loft stays darker receiving light in a
different way! It's been such a thrill to enjoy the new
walls even with the room incomplete.
I'm going completely out of my box to have crispy
white curtains not yet purchased!! Totally unusual for
me. I have always veered far away from beige
or white in decorating, except for appliances
and bathroom fixtures! However I have a revered
white pitcher for flowers that is a favourite!
Plain appliances are the only way to go since
the harvest gold debacle of the seventies!
Which took me only a year or two to regret!!
Now the thought of white, suggested by Cupcake,
excites me!! Even though some apple green ones
tried to naughtily entice me!! White is my new
joy and will enhance the room and my spirit!
Here is a sneak peek at the colour, which in actuality is
prettier and brighter in person. Cupcake tried her best to
capture the shade to share with you! My kingsize bed
is in the midst of being painted!! Cupcakes extreme
allergy outbreak during sanding is making for a slower
completion than predicted! However it's amazing to wake
up in a new room! Admittedly I am spending more
time than normal there because I'm so in awe of the
changes!!
I can't even express how grateful
I feel to have such amazing kids!!
Last week these two enjoyed their
Christmas and birthday gift concerts!
Three in a row all in the same week,
and still made time to paint too!
I love "Me first and the gimme gimmes"...they take songs of
old and make them New and fun!! Interesting how this old guy
has never deflected from what he loves even when so many
outgrow certain music tastes! Not hard to see he's an artist too!
So glad my kids have such eclectic artistic tastes!! It keeps
me current and open to all things new!
Cupcakes favourite exercise as a child and still is!!

I am truly blessed to have a daughter who treats me with
such love and respect! A woman who cherishes the value
of a dollar, knows how to appreciate what she has, and
enhance it! A woman who knows how to find joy in
simple silly moments like getting a photo taken on a
huge costco chair!!
I was so blessed the day she brought Beardo
home to join our life! He has treated me
with love and respect from the beginning and
continues to do so daily! By all accounts
he is my child too!! Having this wonderful
couple in my life, making sure I'm comfortable
and well taken care of makes me the
Luckiest mom ever!! These two bring
me love, joy and laughter daily, as
my two best friends!! Thanks guys
for all the amazing things you do for me!
I love you both more than you will ever know!
I LOVE my new room too!!
I hope you have a blast at Mumford & Sons, and U2 this week!
What is right in your face that you need to
change but haven't in way too long?
Would people recognize that you're an
artist by the way you present yourself
to the world?
Thanks for all the amazing meaty comments last week! Every word
is revered and often sparks new posts! Happy Mothers day to
all women who make a difference in the world as caregivers to all!
Whether you're a mother to children, parents, friends or animals you
are to be loved and respected for your dedicated effort and sacrifice!!
Appreciate the beauty that is you!!
Do something wonderful and special for yourself, you deserve it!!
Love Sherrie
