A lick of paint & things

[osprey_archer]

At last I have painted my wall! I have a single sky-blue accent wall in my room, which is still drying, and which I have been gazing upon with pleasure at intervals ever since I finished painting it.

I am sort of tempted to keep going, and add a darker blue sea with some sunny little sailboats and perhaps a few tufts of fleecy white clouds, but I think there are a lot of ways this could go wrong AND ALSO paint is expensive, so I won't.

And this means that I have completed all my wall plans! I hung up my calendar and my bulletin board earlier this month. It required hammering nails into the wall, which made me feel quite grown up, not so much on account of the hammering itself but because I was putting things in the wall of my apartment instead of just gumming them up with removable tape like a college student.

The bulletin board features a rotating cast of cards. It's full enough now that I have to take one down when I want to put a new one up (I think if I rearranged I could squeeze another card in there, though; hmmm) which always makes me feel bountifully supplied with friends and correspondents.

Your wall sounds so great! I did an accent wall in folksy blue-green a few years ago, and enjoyed it a lot. Also, if you decide to do sailboats after all, pictures please :D

I don't think I have the artistic talent (or the money to spend on paint) to do a seascape mural... but you never know. Maybe irresistible inspiration will get me in its teeth.
