Some enchanted evening…

Some enchanted evening

There will be lemongrass and wine

Some enchanted evening

The mermaid treasures will be all mine

Told you I was talented.  Especially poetics. Poetics are my strong suit.

The theme for the main workroom is Enchanted Forest. Doesn't that sound like a grand place to work? I think so. That's probably why I'll be working there.

And what good is a little Enchanted Forest without a little chlorophyll? Deep grassy leafy foresty green.

I came, I saw, I liked this one best.

The wall behind the sinks will be this color -- I'll get to look at it all day. If there can't be windows over the sinks, at least there will be a hint of the outdoors.

The opposite wall will be wine barrel brown. A warm brown with an auburn undertone.

The wine barrel isn't quite as saturated as it will be in real life -- you can see that it needs a second coat of paint. To round out the Enchanted Forest, we'll paint the front and back walls a strong lemongrass color. I love lemongrass as a spice and now as a paint shade. It will be a crisp counterpoint to the leafiness and the barkiness of the Forest.  I threw in Mermaid Treasure for good measure -- you can get a better idea in this picture of one of the main wall colors in Irish Sea, the other side of the studio.

And hey, I have three days left here in Maryland. I'm totally packed and ready.

And also, I am a size 0 petite with raven locks and chocolate eyes that dance with lightning on a midsummer's eve.

If I keep repeating it, it will come true. If I keep repeating it, it will come true... right?

I have moved seven times in the past 21 years and I can tell you from experience that you are never ready. You can do tons of preparation, but that date just seems to sneak up on you without everything finished. It will go fine. Anticipate the future, let it excite you. This is a new adventure.

Are you going to paint a bubbling brook on the green wall. How calming would that be. Get one of those little bubbling waterfalls so you have real sound and ya'll be asleep in no time. ;-)
