Busy Decorating with Eeyore

Have been busy all afternoon. I have a bedroom painted blue "Oh Bother Blue" (Eeyore blue). That is the actual name of the paint. It turned out very good I thought. Today I rearranged all of my collectibles, hung a few collector's plates. Looks so cool. I will show photos later. The one here is just one of many. It makes me smile. Life is too short not to smile. If you find something that makes you smile, immerse yourself.

I think i would be happy looking at Eeyore too. That is what I am doing now, surrounding myself with things that make me happy.

@ScribbledAdNauseum You are so right. I have had my Eeyore stuff here and there and some packed up. Still some rearranging to do.

The picture here made me smile, otherwise life gets too stale without a smile and a laugh.

@CarolDM We had a special room like that in our country home. When my brother was newly separated, and raising 3 little ones, the kids would quite often ask him if they could spend a few days at our place. One bedroom, beside ours, became our niece's bedroom. When she was about 2 we decided it was time to redecorate that room. She happened to be with us when we were shopping for paint, and she had some say in the colour. She used to tell everyone that Uncle Ron bought paint the same colour as bubble gum, of course it wasn't that bright. I accented it with white eyelet and we had a light stained wood flooring laid. It was such a pretty and relaxing room. Years later our daughter-in-law inherited that room when she stayed over, as our son had his old room to stay in.

You have an Eeyore room? That is so awesome! When my daughter was younger, she had an Ariel room (Little Mermaid). It was awesome.

You painted a wall blue? Sounds pretty and sounds like exercise.

@CarolDM Okay. I have painted walls but am not good at painting the top toward the ceiling.

@sallypup My husband used tape to go around the ceiling, he did the painting, and a great job.
