this morning, I helped my contractor move the couch, after having moved all the breakables out of the living room before he arrived…
before the paint job with furniture out of the way…
I headed off to work around 10:30 and he started to paint the end wall… you guessed it – purple…
after the paint job…
when I arrived home about 7:45 this evening, there it was in all its glory.. I just love it… when we picked the paint on Saturday it took all of three minutes for me to make a decision and I was worried a bit yesterday as to whether it was the correct shade of purple… the name is Morpheus, which I hadn’t looked at until after picking it… I do find that the name can affect whether I like a paint colour or not…
I feel as though I am morphing into a new person and when I looked the name up, this is what Wikipedia said:
Morpheus (/ˈmɔrfiəs/ or /ˈmɔrfjuːs/) is a god of dreams who appears in Ovid‘s Metamorphoses. Morpheus has the ability to take any human form and appear in dreams. His true semblance is that of a winged daemon, imagery shared with many of his siblings. Starting in the medieval period, the name Morpheus began to stand generally for the god of dreams or of sleep.[1]
after painting the wall, he installed the sliding barn door upstairs in the bedroom… it isn’t painted yet, but it looks wonderful… the two bi-fold doors were both removed and this new door slides on a track and can cover one or the other opening… the only time I close the bedroom door is if the boys are over and I need to change clothes… otherwise it will cover the closet door… already the room looks more spacious…
my son-in-law and I had done quite a bit of work finding the track and runners and then he found an old door at his house that we could use… he was all ready to get working on it when family health issues drew a halt to the project… but now it is up thanks to his planning, and my contractor…
looking forward to the final work to get the door finished and the closet repaired and painted as well…
