It’s a gloomy day here in southern Ohio. Most of my snow is gone and there’s fog setting the scene for a perfect day to stay inside and cozy.
I’ll be indoors but maybe not so cozy. I have to face the consequences of decisions made yesterday when I decided that it was time to paint my bedroom. It’s about half done and I can finish most of it on my own. Adam asked to help when he learned what I was doing so I’m going to ask him to take care of the highest part of one tall wall. A ladder and long arms will come in handy for that section.
Meanwhile, I’m thinking of all the first responders and folks who have no choice but to go out this morning. It sounds like black ice is wreaking havoc all around.
Yes, I still have up a tree as the photo illustrates. This tree features white lights, woodland creatures and other things hallmark of winter rather than Christmas. I’m glad for the pretty lights reflecting in the window this morning.
My furnace is getting a break today since it’s warmer but we are expecting a steep dip in temperatures like much of the nation. I worry for people who can’t afford their heating bill, for homeless folks, and especially for those in North Carolina who are still living in tents after a hurricane devastated areas that should never see a hurricane.
I’m grateful for my circumstances and hope you are as fortunate as I am.
Happy painting and warm winter wishes!
Thank you! My painting arm aches and my feet are killing me but the painting is done! Now to put everything back and make it look pretty!
What color is your bedroom paint?
I’m staying in today, too. No snow, but chilly and quite windy. I’m so not a fan of wind.
Wind always worries me. We have so many trees here that wind often means power outage. It rained yesterday but snowed again overnight so it’s pretty again!
My bedroom is now Pittsburgh Paints Blue Fjord. It’s an interesting color because it’s bright in the daylight but becomes increasingly moody as the light wanes. Gold, brass and wood tones look beautiful against this color.
Here’s a link to see the color if you wish.

Very nice!
Thanks!! I’m so relieved I like it!
Best of luck with the rest of the painting. You should do a before and after update. We had warmer weather yesterday but now another cold front has moved in. I don’t mind the cold too much, but I sure wish we had some sunshine.
It warmed up for a couple of days but we are about to welcome a Polar Vortex. Should be interesting! At least I’ll finally have a reason to button my coat. I swear, the cold just hasn’t seemed that bad to me.
