OK, up until seven weeks ago, I never understood why people said that it was hard to work on their art when something was being remodeled. NOW I understand. David and I had our master bath remodeled/updated. This hadn't been done since we moved into the house, decades ago. We were saving our pennies for it but what a difference a bunch of money makes (and new fixtures, tile, etc). Gone is the original carpeting, tile, fixtures, and lighting. I still have some baseboards, etc to paint, but the major areas are done. Our contractor, Bill Barber Construction, was great, and as tidy as any contractor can be while still tearing things out and putting things back in. The best part, totally trustworthy so we didn't have to be home during most of the rebuild.
This weekend "decor" items are making it back into the space. David was able to put one of our pieces back up. I purchased a rod a week ago so now we will be able to swap out the art easily. We will decide on where and how many other pieces we will hang. I went through five swatches of paint color before I settled on this barely there aqua. Looks so fresh, I just love it.
I haven't been totally non creative. I found that when you are forced into a hiatus, your brain goes into creative mode in other areas. I have identified some new series topics and some techniques that I think will be interesting to explore. For those who have, or are going through, a remodel of any size, my prayers are with you. Just know it will be worth it. We love our new space.
