We have a really old house. We think (and so do the local historians in town) it was built in the mid-late 1860s. I believe the house is about 1100 square feet. My son's apartment is bigger than this house!
There is a weird upstairs hallway that I call the 'mezzanine.' At one point, this area was the place where I had my computer and ran an on-line store where I sold used knitting needles, but mostly it has been the place where junk ends up, as we have very little storage space, a crawl-space type attic, a damp basement, no garage....
So I decided to paint the walls, and floor, and moved my sewing things up there.
The furniture is now where I want it, and I'm now putting things on the walls.
This is a photo of my serger, and above it a lino print I did in the late 1980s while I was in college.

My house is a decent size but we are also lacking in storage space. It forces me to get creative sometimes with what I use an area for. I've noticed that a lot of the neighbors use their garages for storage but we still insist on using ours for the cars. I've got some home improvement projects on the horizon but I'm waiting for warmer weather so I can open the windows when I paint. I like your pink wall.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that the paint didn't smell as bad as I had imagined! Thanks, Poodle - I like reds purples pinks on my walls. I swear, the older I get, the girlier I get! ;)
DeleteSomeday, lady, I'mma invite you east and do a library gallery show with you. I am serious. We pay bupkes and there's no champagne at the opening, but when I look at that linoprint, I immediately want to offer it a wall.
ReplyDeletethanks O!! I really need to get my courage back and do more 2-D art. I do love printmaking - perhaps I'll start with some greeting card sized prints (like my son and I used to do during the holidays years ago)
