sunny & bright

we are still painting, and painting, and enjoying ourselves around the house. our latest paint job, somehow completed amidst stomach flu, was the upstairs bathroom.

we wanted to do something warm, bright, and bold, and the bathroom is the perfect place. we took the color scheme from my fishy quilt.

the walls are "homestead apricot" and "butterscotch cream". i was looking for a shower curtain liner in the bath department at target (i love target) and realized that our bathroom colors are not at all popular at present. but we like them. i love the the walls glow, especially when the sun lights them up.

i recently unwrapped this "peasant painting", found in hong kong 6 years ago, for the first time since it was wrapped for our move from japan almost 2 years ago (yes, we are still unpacking), and didn't know where i could put it in the house.... it looks great in the fabulously bright bathroom. we noticed that the glass was a little smudgy, so I wiped it off and got black, black pollution soot all over my rag. i don't miss that aspect of life in tokyo at all.

So cheery -- like my old kitchen wallpaper -- just kidding. Not like that, way better! I really like it.
