the mermaid lagoon

So on a whim yesterday I painted my bathroom blue.. not as spectacularly as this! But its a whole lot better than the bland beige it was before! I've put up a few pictures - pride of place is my John William Waterhouse Mermaid print which I love.  Hoping to find lots of sea faring pictures and accessories at yard sales over the summer.. the idea is to create a below deck on an old tall ship feel! Today I'm using the same color for the dark hall off the family room to the guest bedroom.  Its a bright light blue, and a lovely complement to the butter-cream rooms you can see from it.

So turns out after inspection, we found that the big blue house is wracked with termites. Very sad about this, but also glad because at least it was so bad, that it was easy to see, and not a future problem for us after purchase. Heading back out to look at more houses this afternoon. We have found one we like, but it's a little different than we first imagined, so we'll see. On a plus note the buyer for this house has signed on the dotted line, deposits made, so all is going swimmingly this end. I know it will work out in the end - Que sera, sera!
