New paintings and master bed room and bath room remodel

My two newest paintings are ones that I did for myself for our newly remodeled master bed room and bath room.

This first one is another version of the painting I featured in my last post that was inspired by my friend Gloria's quilt.  I titled it "Gloria's Beautiful Quilt".  I enjoyed painting it so much that I decided to do a similar one in different colors for myself.  When it was finished I gave it the title "Patchwork & Posey".  Since I think I may do a collection of these paintings I added #2 to the title.  "Gloria's Beautiful Quilt" will be the first in this collection so I added #1 to that title.  I have done other collections over the years.  One is called "Study in Patchwork".  I could add these paintings to that collection or maybe not.  I haven't decided yet.  Anyway here is "Patchwork & Posey #2"  Size is 20X16

The second painting I just finished is called "Tulips in Grey Vase"  it is another version of a similar one I did in the past only in different colors.  This painting is also 20X16 and now hangs in my master bed room.

We started our master bath and bed room remodel in late December and finished in early February.  We had a new granite counter top installed along with two new sinks and faucets.  Roger replaced the floor tile and added wall tile.  The paint color we chose was called Blue Ice.  We also replaced all the cabinet knobs.  The first photo is what the room looked like before the work was done and the second is the after photo.  It is a large odd shaped room and the shower stall and the garden tub do not show in either photo.

When we retired to Tucson in 1996 we bought a bedroom set and a black metal canopy bed. The bedroom looks as good now as it did when we bought it 25 years ago but we felt it was time to replace the bed.  When we moved here we removed the canopy and only used the head board.  For the past 25 years we have had the same very neutral color scheme, off white, beige, grey, and black. We used those colors in Tucson, Michigan and when we first moved here.  It was time for a change.  I decided on the same wall color we used in the bathroom.  We removed the nasty 15 year old carpet and installed vinyl planking.  We also bought a new bed and mattress and I found the perfect quilt and shams online.  This past summer we found the large wall hanging which we installed over the bed at a yard sale for $20.  We joke that spending that $20 on what we thought was a real bargain cost us BIG BUCKS to finish two rooms just so we had a place to hang it.  LOL!  The first two photos are before and the second two are the after photos.

I am adding two more photos showing the new paintings hanging in the bathroom and the bedroom.

We love our newly remodeled rooms.  They are both bright and fresh looking and very relaxing.  

Roger is starting a new project which will be stained glass windows for our upstairs loft and my art studio.  I'll post photos when they are done.

I do a Valentine's Day Doodle every year.  Here is what I did for 2021.  I am a few days late on posting it.
