Spring time is around the corner! I promise!

It's coming, I know it is because I saw a robin in my very snow-filled backyard last weekend. If he is brave enough to come home to Michigan, it has got to be true. With Spring, comes spring-cleaning, I remember that was my grandmother and mom's mission in life come March every year. Walls were washed, windows cleaned, draperies taken down and aired out, carpets cleaned, rugs beaten- do any of us do this anymore? I know that I have never washed a wall except for that time when my daughter was little and painted a mural on her bedroom wall with markers. She is now 26years of age and will undoubtedly be doing that someday for her childrens' masterpieces. Spring for us nowadays usually involves fresh paint or wallpaper to spruce up a space. In my studio, I have just painted a couple of accent walls, one in a bright green from Sherwin Williams SW 6423 ryegrass and bright turqoise from Sherwin Williams SW SW6486 reflecting pool. Both have created a lot of interest here in the studio and definitely a nice bright reflection of Spring to come. What an easy step to making a room feel totally different fresh and new! All for the price of a gallon of paint!
