Subject to Change

 The living/dining room and hall are painted and the cushions, new ottoman and new rug, plus floral arrangements are in, so hanging the art is the project for today. My dear brother in law John did all the 'heavy lifting' and what you cannot see are all the interior doors he replaced, painted and installed expertly so they close effortlessly. Miracle!!! 

The colors of the wall are shocking at first, because they are so bright, but I am already used to them and enjoying having real color for the first time in xxx years. I've always wanted white walls because they made the place look clean (in my mind) and the artwork would stand out, I thought. But geesh. Color supports the art IMHO. This quilt is Technique Rebellion II from 1998.

The fabric for the cushions and ottoman came from Walmart and even this quilt below is all Waverly cottons from Walmart. I think they should pay me for this plug. 😄 I got the rug from At Home, which is a big store near my house, which occasionally has good stuff. I really lucked out on this because the green and teal are a perfect compliment to the walls. And it was 25% off. Yay!

 On the Lime wall is Bosna #2 which I have never hung before. I have a lot more room to fill in on this wall and as the title of this post suggest, everything is subject to change. And easily, if I have the energy to get up and down the ladder. No nails are used and no Command Hooks! I kid you not. I cannot imagine nailing into this paint and then changing my mind, which is the one constant of my life. Instead I have had John installed slotted shelf standards at the top of the wall where it meets the ceiling. Then S hooks are inserted into the slots at the right spot and fishing line is tied to the ends of the curtain rods which are inserted into the rod pocket of the quilts. The fishing line is hooked onto the S hooks and I can easily adjust the straightness of the piece by tugging lightly. 

 The dining room area is really hot pink but it just doesn't show in the photo accurately because it is daytime and that light fights with the ceiling lights. This quilt is Matchstick Moons 3 and is one of my faves from years gone by. 

 The hanging standard is visible in this photo, and the quilt is Dueces are Wild from 2001. This is the hallway between the kitchen and living room. 

 On the opposite wall is Foursquare Circles from 2002. All the work I am hanging is leftover from my big family giveaway last summer. My sister got first dibs and then Dave's sister and brother in law flew in from Chicago with big suitcases to take home what they liked and/or what my niece and nephew chose, leaving me the rest. At that time I thought I was done moving houses, 😂 and didn't want to keep all that work jammed in a closet,  but...that too was subject to change. 

I have moved two chairs and the ottoman that I curbside picked into the breakfast nook area. The kitchen has yet to be painted and I am holding off until I can make a decision. John the wonderful brother in law, installed a new door to the garage and a new side door in the garage which make a huge difference in keeping this space from being freezing cold. Those two previous doors were horrendous and didn't fit the openings in which they were hung.

 Another cushion and curtains to match my chair got made and hung in my bedroom too, and curtains for the living room are made but awaiting hems... eight panels that all have to be even at the bottom. Obviously I am procrastinating.
