Best laid plans and all that jazz

[Phoenix61]

I got back from 4 months of travel and realized my bedroom looked like a family of Smurf’s had been slaughtered in there. Everything was blue.. the walls, curtains, headboard… even the art work. Time for a change! So off to Home Depot for color swatches. Next, dig through my fabric stash and find some that works with the paint I picked out. I started making a Roman blind that day then the next day back to Home Depot for hardware for blinds and the paint. Last step before painting, clear the room and a deep clean. I woke up Tuesday morning excited to get started painting. I finished cutting in with doing above the baseboard. Sadly, while I was doing that one little muscle in my back decided to go on strike.

I’ve got Robaxin but it buzzes me out so I can’t really do anything and without it my back locks up so I can’t really do anything. To add insult to injury, my indictment champagne will have to wait until I’m off the Robaxin.

1. Welcome to my life. A pulled back muscle used to take ten days or so to heal.

Now- a month.

2. Sounds very ambitious

I love colors and would love to know what color scheme you decide on.

3. I've made Roman blinds before and swore I'd never

make them again but they work so well in a small room. I’m using black out backing fabric so they’ll keep the room dark. I made the headboard but I’m going to lower it to the same height as in the photo.
The colors are blank canvas and half sea fog.

4. You like muted tones

They go together well.

5. I do, especially in a bedroom. I think they are calming. nt

6. A DU poster recommended an 11% lidocaine... or reasonable facsimile... cream he buys from an

Online tattoo supplier.

7. So the moral of the story is

you can't really get away from the blues after all.




Get well soon, Phoenix!
