This is what it looked like a week ago... we were in the middle of painting....
Pretty rough around the edges....And, just 7 days later, this is what the room looks like!
Thanks for bearing with me -- after all that hard work, I had to post pics! :-) The furniture arrives tomorrow, so I'll probably have to show another once my hubby's office is all together. It was tough because I wanted to pick a floral rug and fun accessories but -- he's a guy -- so I had to keep it more manly! LOL!Ok... I have had a wee bit of time to create so.... without further ado...
I just love watercoloring with distress inks. So, when I picked up this Alesa Baker image from Impression Obsession (Single Rose and Lavendar), I just knew I had to paint it up! I used Milled Lavendar, Worn Lipstick, Antique Linen and Peeled Paint inks. The paper is a mix of scraps from my decorative paper bins. I literally went "fishing" for the right colors after I was done. Then, I added some pearls, some stitching and... voila! Done! I love the fact that this card could be a real "any occassion" card. Perfect to keep in my stash!

Sweet card Julie!! ooohhhh I hear you on the decorating ideas, this would have been a nice stamping room!!! You could have started off fresh with everything organized! LOL
Wahoo!! Ken's office is just gorgeous and can't wait to see it with the furniture you guys picked out...it will be stunning.
Love your card, it is also a stunning job. Mom
That's a great room! I LOVE the flooring and the paint colors on your walls. Looks great!
Very cute card too! Love the colors, very spring appropriate. Wish this wind would go away though!
oooh, this looks fantastic Julie! What's so fun is that I actually saw the before....it's going to be stunning with the furniture in there. Ken must love it!
And the card! I can't believe you just "found" scraps that went so perfectly! Gorgeous card, I really need to get some reinkers too to try watercoloring with.
Looks gorgeous Julie!! But I want to see that flowered rug!!
Mighty handsome project! Being at work in the basement would have muffled the thunder claps and totally unfamiliar rain drips in the gutters of this early morning. Nice! Storm is rotating north according to NEXRAD. One more dreamy look at your most beautius scrap card and then, maybe, peaceful zzzs.
LOVE LOVE the office. I am surprised you don't take it over for your craft room :) The lighting is really very cool. I love your card as well. The colors are so pretty and love how you cut/tore your paper is very nice
