Done!

It took me all morning and all the strenght I had left from the week but I'm quite happy with the result!

 It's not a bright or intense colour, but it's a quite dramatic and modern shade that suits the overall character of the house. Of course I didn't apply the colour that I bought, I thought it was too brownish, and I just had to add a touch of black and make it more greyish.

Now I need to find something for the wall. I have two options in mind: I will either print and frame a couple of photos that I took on my travels or I will ask my pupils to make me a painting! 

 The next step will be to change or alter the table and chairs. New projects on the way!

Saturday project

Every autumn I kind of need a change in my living space. I've decided to paint the wall of my dining room. I've been thinking the whole week what vibrant colour I would use, as it's classic beige. I thought of teraccota, deep red or ochre. 

Finally, I decided to play it safe and keep it simple and elegant; out of the infinite possibilities of the colour pallette, I chose a chocolate-grey shade. I'm thinking (I'm afraid) it suits my mood...

Any projects of your own for the weekend?

Longing

When my closest friends are about to visit me especially after avery long time, which unfortunately is always the case, I have a sweet longing. A week ahead I'm starting noting down ideas of the menu and thinking of organizing activities we would all enjoy. I also try to prepare my house for it, adding details all around that express my hapinnes. This time, although I planned the first two parts, I didn't have that much time to decorate and had to improvise on the last minute. However, with a few cuttings from my garden, yellow fruit from a bush and two candles, my coffee table had a welcoming, seasonal feeling in no time.

We had an amazing time, but, since I'm in the after-weekend-resting state, I'll tell and show you everything in time. For now, I'm leaving you with a preview.

Have a great week!
