partial update

in my previous post i asked 'what do sealskin and brazil have in common?'

every time my husband goes out of town, on business, i crank out a project.

this time he went to brazil.  and do you see that ever so dark grey on the skin of that cute seal?

well that is the new color that i painted, a feature wall, in my living room...it's called sealskin and it is oh so beautiful.

the black mantel is in the process of being painted white {don't you just love projects that snowball?!}.
i'll post final photos when i get it completed.
