self portrait project {8}

I almost missed this week’s portrait! Lot’s of redecorating going on here! This picture is evidence of {more} piping being made for my new slipcover for the couch – mom the sewing genius – was here Thursday and Friday doing her magic on my slipcover – I cut, she sewed and did all the mental work to make it absolutely beautiful and professional looking! I’m so pleased!!! This weekend I put the finishing touches of the cushions together. It looks so awesome. And the paint on my fingers is evidence of a weekend total face-lift of my living room – it’s called “Marilyn’s Dress” by Benjamin Moore. It’s a beautiful shade of the lightest grey-blue … almost white. I love the color so much we did the kitchen too!!!!! I loooove it! It’s the perfect backdrop to all the color I have in the rest of the pieces of my living room and kitchen. Will show and tell later. I have to paint my desk a new color before I unveil … as the blue just doesn’t jive with the new wall shade of blue. I love love love paint! It’s the perfect cure for a way too long winter.
