Project 64: Green

taken at Tuhey Park

I took this before I started through the intersection, honestly!  

This shot was captured at the local Olive Garden.  I was being treated to lunch by my best friend/daughter-in-law Margaret Ann.

My Norfolk pine was a tiny potted plant when I first  brought her home.  Now I have had to trim her so that there is room to walk past her.

In my home, especially during this season, it was as easy to find green as it was to find red in July.  To me, green and blue are soothing nature colors.  Now to choose my entry...Tuhey Park!

Finishing Touches of Master Bathroom Remodel

The final touches have been applied to my new master bathroom.
Here is the sorely needed storage.  Heretofore I stacked things upon things in my closet.  Anyone old enough to remember the old radio show called "Fibber McGee and Molly" know about his closet.  The same thing would happen to me- take down one thing and the rest of the pile came tumbling down.  No more, thanks to my son's ingenious idea of enclosing stock cabinets (purchased at Lowe's) to look like they are built-in and that they've always been there.  

Some readers might recognize the finger painting featured before on my blog; it was done by my granddaughter Charley when she was in kindergarten.  I've since framed it.  The frame's color matches the rose buds in my wallpaper.   There are pink roses in the border.  The sun was made by my middle son Derek some years ago.  I am blessed to have talented children and in-laws.

I love the rug I purchased for $7 at the local Dollar General store.  The color matches the leaves on the wallpaper.  I really love my floor; it's Roman Stone, also from Lowe's.

Pink on the mirror frames is just the right amount of pink.

I painted the new wall that hides the plumbing pink, but  it was too overwhelming.  Then I tried striping the wall with the cabinet color and pink.  Each time I pulled away the tape I also pulled away the color underneath.  After sanding the wall, I painted it beige.  Then I spent a few hours on-line seeking inspiration for the big blank wall.  I wanted some kind of floral decal.  When I was led to Wall Monkeys with my key words, I found something that said "tranquil" to me.  Above is the decal.  To me, it was a bit pricey, but I am well satisfied with it.
