A Little Wall Art Provides Inspiration

In a recent burst of energy, I painted my bedroom. Not a single day and done, mind you. I work cheap, but not fast. In all, it took about three weeks for each wall to sport a soothing sagey-green color. I put away the paint cans and decided to treat myself to a brand new picture for the wall.

I've loved the Andrew Wyeth print, "Master Bedroom" for a long time, so I ordered it on line. The cost was reasonable and delivery fast. Not more than fifteen minutes after its arrival, I raced to Hobby Lobby where I pondered over mats and frames of every color and shape. I made my choices and signed on the dotted line.

Only one week and a couple of hundred dollars (gulp) later, I had the finished product in hand. Don't you just love the dog all curled up with his head on the pillow? Awww....

Hanging pictures (especially when they're heavy) is not one of my best skills. If somebody offered me a million bucks, I simply can't do it. No matter how carefully I measure, it ends up either too low or too high. Don't tell anyone but this picture is hiding several "oopsie" holes.

The good news is despite all my grunting and groaning and hammering, Indy and Bogey became quite inspired by our new acquisition.

Well, isn't that what a master bedroom is for?

May each of you have an equally relaxing (and safe) Labor Day weekend!
