SOON AN ATELIER IN THE HOUSE

20/07/2017

 

 

 

Soon an atelier in the house means that another room serve as a storage room. Again. And that I paint a room. Again. But this “new room” has never been used before, it’s just been… storage… As you know I’ve had plenty of rooms to paint, so this one had to wait. And the plants in here have been waiting too – for water. I guess they have been waiting for at least a year.

Every little project takes such time, and I get tired of the mess that appears every time I fix a room (which I do basically all the time). But this time the mess is actually rather pretty, because I’ve thrifted so many things that I truly adore the last years, so it’s not possible not to see beauty in it. Huge goal achieved! We’re still cleaning up here, and we sell and give away things that we don’t want to have. I guess it’s a part of the cleansing and reflection of this year. It feels good!

The “new room”, a tiny atelier, has now three coats of mulberry colour, just like the hallway. The room is like an extension to the hallway, and it will look very smooth together. And I think it’s might my favorite colour in here. The ceiling is shiny and the walls are matte. The floor went grey late last night. The window frame is still to be painted (boring!), and then the painting on canvas will begin! I have one order on an original paint that I eager to get started on. And if you want to be next in line – simply contact me, I’m nice and I have nice prices 😉 And the sale on limited photo prints is still going on over here. It will end in the middle of the day on Sunday.

    Your home is lovely. I’ve been to Europe many times (from BC Canada) but have never been North to Scandinavia. I appreciate your honesty and openness about your mental issues. I have never been able to admit to others what goes on in my mind, but you make me feel much less alone. Thank you for that. And thank you for the beautiful photos on Instagram too.

      Hi Lisa. I apreciate your comment so much, I’m glad you like my home and Instagram, and I’m v e r y glad that my openness can make you feel less alone. I wish you didn’t feel so alone of course, but I can understand the feeling. It can be very lonely and frightening, and no one will ever understand exact the way your mind works (unfortunately). But often it does help to admit to others, and I hope you have someone to talk to… Best wishes from me

    Hei! Kan jeg spørre om det er Abigail Aherns Mulberry maling du har brukt?

      Hei Merete 🙂 Det er ikke den jeg har brukt, Abigail sender ikke maling til utlandet, så den hadde jeg ikke fått tak i. Redd det hadde blitt i dyreste laget også dessverre. Jeg finner alltid farger selv ved å se på fargekart, også bestiller jeg maling ut i fra NCS-kode. Ha en fin dag!

I do and share things by heart. I create personal texts, am a musician, sell original art and prints, make a special home and capture the magic with my camera – everything rather dark hued. Villa Betula is not just skimming the tops.

And by the way - my name is Maren Ingeborg Gråblomst and I’m Norwegian. Gråblomst means grey flower.
