I took this on Tuesday. It's just a sudden, random photo. In it, though, you can see where we do about 80% of our homeschooling. This is D working on election worksheets. To her right, there is our school supply cabinet, full of pencils, glue, markers, and such. On top of the "green cabinet" as we call it is a wine rack with decorative bottles made of cobalt blue glass.
I painted the dining room on Monday, using the same paint as I did in the kitchen: Granny Smith Apple Green. In the late afternoon or at night or overcast days as it was on Tuesday, it appears closer to olive. At least I think that looks like olive, I'm a bit color blind so I'm not quite sure what color you will say this is.
I'm still deciding what to put on this large wall. Formally, I had a sunflower afghan there. I've had that afghan in my dining room since D was a little, bitty baby. It was on sale and was one of the first things I bought for our initial home. Now, I'm thinking I'll try something different - perhaps the two metal plate racks I have.
You might notice that D has white wires coming from her ears. It's an MP3 player and she's listening to her current obsession: "Iron Man".
The Walmart bag is holding the remnants of her Halloween candy. We don't celebrate Halloween, but we sure do believe in wearing costumes and eating lots of candy.
I love the paint color! I remember when you painted the kitchen that color. I'm not nearly that brave. LOL! I'm so scared of bright paint colors. Curious question, posts are showing up under "On my mind" on my computer, but not in the main column. Could it be that I'm running Safari?
Thanks!
Oh, and please tell your dd that my dc made the clay pumpkins. We painted them Tuesday and are spraying them with hi-gloss spray today. They have enjoyed this activity so much!
Thanks!
The posts are showing up in "On My Mind" because I'm having a problem with Movable Type. It is only letting me publish the front page about once a day. The posts are in the Archives, though, so I figured people would see them better if I bookmarked them in My Del.icio.us, which puts them in "On My Mind".
I'll be sure to tell my daughter about ya'll's pumpkins. She painted the first coat on hers, but hasn't yet painted the second coat. Maybe this news will encourage her to finish the pumpkin. I'm so glad ya'll enjoyed the craft.
It looks olive to me too.
We also don't celebrate Halloween, but do eat candy (too much!). I'm thinking I need to find some like-minded people and get together on that night to let the kids play. What do you do on Halloween?
Now I'm seeing them. Thanks for answering!
Melissa,
I'm not Mrs. Happy Housewife, but we roast marshmallows and hot dogs on Halloween night. We also buy candy and make goody bags for the children so they have candy and goodies.
