snowed

we all tried to protect our hair today when we were painting my ceiling.

i have lots to learn from Sikh men


we finished painting the place though.


this is my den/living room. my blue accent wall will be where my couch is placed against.

what i bought

the view from my room :)

ok, better pictures of my room-painting-in-progress


the beam - it's going to be pink i think

neapolitan ice cream

i started painting last night. i used to frame, mount and gesso my own canvases with house paint back in high school (Arts York, hellllll yeah!), so i figured instead of spending 7k for someone to paint my walls, i will spend 1k on good paints and do it myself. ok, i am no alchemist but thanks to the nice people at the paint shop i know how to mix latex paint with water now.

didn't bring my camera with me but i am trying to figure out what to paint at the underside of my ceiling beam. the wall is gray, and my little nook in my room is pink.


yeah, i lost track of time and was there until 12 midnight, had to catch a taxi back to my rental. like, i am starting to question did i save money or not painting on my own if i have to keep taxi-ing every night.

The bedroom - colours

As I mentioned before, I really don't have the heart to toss out the furniture in my bedroom... It's too wasteful to throw out perfect furniture. While I like the quilted headboard, I really don't like the checkered closet.

The interesting architectural detail around the headboard tempts me to try colours!





I really like the gray and pink combination. I saw these bedspreads at francfranc


They would look amazing together!

I decided to take things one step further:


It adds a nice, feminine touch to my space.


Alternatively, flowers seem to be a bit... softer? somehow it feels less boxy.
What do you think? Pink all the way?
