A work still in progress, but almost finished: The Headboard wall

Why does everything take so long?

…and, I am not finished yet! While I know that color drenching is a current trend, when I first spotted this and it earned a space in my Wall Decor file, it was quite a while ago. I spotted the design on the cover of an African music album. I was so entranced–here, let me show you!

I confess, I just fell in love with the image of this family and the monochrome decor. I also enjoy various African music genres, from several different areas of the continent. Personally, I have never been into the family pajama thing that my sis and bro and their families do every year at Christmas, so I don’t see R and J and I donning blue clothing and sitting on the bed for a photo shoot. But, those empty picture frames the same color as the wall!

As always, I take a bit of poetic liberty and switch it up a bit, and I am probably not done switching yet, but that is for another day. There has just been a whole lot of manual labor involved around here, and I am dancing as fast as I can! Let’s just say finding the shower chair R will need in another week involved extensive moving of things to locate it, which was of course in the further-most inaccessible location possible. But I took advantage of the effort, got rid of some things needing getting rid of, and cleared a little more space on the screened porch.

In an effort to streamline the function of this room, I moved out nonessential items, replaced a big L-shaped desk with just the keyboard/monitor portion, invested in a small corner shelf what could easily contain my personal grooming items, the printer, and my daily jewelry choices, and moved the second chest to the new room. Sometimes, it is good to know when you really do not need all the things you have. While utilitarian is okay for some things (i.e., the bins that hold my items) I like to enjoy looking at things that make me happy as well.

Here are a couple of the various views of the headboard wall:

Two more small and simple tasks, and this will be fini!…or that is the plan, right? So from my color drenched room to yours, good night and thanks for stopping by!
