MY AFFAIR......

It's been awhile, but I've not been lazy. We've been in our new house almost a month and I'm twitchy. I love my new house, but it's been a little chaotic. I don't do chaotic well. I know I'm long overdue for a post and I'm certainly behind on blog reading. I've missed you all but have tried to read a little when I take breaks. As always, thank you for inspiring me.
I will confess to you that I have had time for a brief affair....with some spray paint. Yes, I fell in love with Rustoleum's "Metallic Paint and Primer in One" in Satin Nickel. It may not be over yet, but we're having a grand time. We met by candlelight.....

We've had a shady relationship that started out as pretty ugly.....

but then bloomed into a shadowy albeit elegant romance.
We brazenly exchanged numbers in the evening, under the brassy porchlight.

We were as happy as a pair of lovebirds atop a shimmery, silvery, satiny branch.

As our affair progressed, we dared to venture into the guest bedroom. (Somehow, it just didn't seem right to bring this affair into my own bedroom.)

But then things fell to pieces and our time ran out....

This love affair had to end sometime and I knew I had to come back to my senses. It's a return to reality for me and my new house.
This weeks reality is the craft room, which has looked like this since I moved in. Don't judge.

And now I'm falling in love again....this time with an oceany blue. I was always such a sucker for those cute beachy boys! Now that I've mostly moved in and mostly unpacked, I'm excited to get started on this room and it's one beautiful oceany-blue wall.

I did make a kick-a$$ craft shelf that I saw on pinterest and I can't tell you how much I love it! Okay, yes I can, but I'll save that for another post. Okay, I'll give you just a leetle peek at it....

While I'm busy organizing my new craft room, I want to let you know that I have an amazing guest post for you this Friday from Sherry over at Thrift My House. I know that many of you already know you're in for a treat and I'm going to tell you right now that I'll be knocking off the fabulous project that she did for this guest post in my own master bedroom. I'll also tell you right now that her black and white master bedroom was the inspiration for my guest bedroom. So, come back Friday and see what Sherry made!
In the meantime, I'm heading into my own Horror Monster of a craft room (as my friend Donna would say) and see if I can't tame that beast and get back to some project love.
Oh...and did I mention that I sold all of my living room furniture at our garage sale on Saturday? Yeah...now we have nowhere to sit. Smart move, huh?
