breezeway {done…until I decide to change it}

We are still finishing up the construction we started almost 3 years ago. When we added onto the house, we connected the new kitchen to our studio space. The plans to connect the spaces were drawn up about 8 years ago. After the main construction was finished the breezeway just became a catch all for shoes, animal junk, tools…basically anything people didn’t want to take the time to pick up!

Over quarantine I spent hours painting the breezeway. The space is really hard to photograph – I think it looks a lot better in person. Anyway – I didn’t really have a set plan. I found a gorgeous plate by Margaret Jeane at Freckled Hen Farmhouse (see below) and loosely went from there. I probably should have sketched a design on the walls before painting it, but I didn’t!

As far as colors, I used wall paint and went with colors that matched the kitchen runner. I went with light pink for the background to make the space still fill big.

Now the question is….”How long will I leave it?”

There are spots I don’t like – mainly when I see them in pictures. I’ll probably try fixing those this summer. However, I did start another mural in the house. Someone will probably need to take away my paint brushes soon.

During quarantine I recorded time lapse videos of the entire process – with all the mistakes, frustrations, and details (like paint names). The floors ended up being a huge mess and frustration!

Under my name you will see some circles. One says “Breezeway” – click on that you can you see it all!
