bedroom progress

we made it through a lot of years but now I'm finding I feel confused and puzzled.  I'm not sure who I am on some levels.  So, I've been taking some interesting on line courses on goth subjects and exploring aspects of interests.  I've determined I have a lot of goth aspects but I'm not really a goth.  I am an aging metalhead/horror fanatic.

Part of my exploration is changing my room a bit.  I know you really never understood my attraction to horror movies except for you imprinting a love of Sherlock Holmes, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and the Hound of the Baskervilles when pregnant with me.  I can't explain it either except that it just is.  Alice Cooper, Buffy, Xena and horror movies.

I've painted two of my walls a deep wine red.  It took several coats but the color is DEEP. I've trimmed the window and baseboards on the two walls black.  The other two walls are staying the sage green.  On the red I'm going an 'iron lattice' stencil in a pewter silver/grey that is turning out REALLY nicely!  I have new horror movie posters that are framed and got frames for my Alice Cooper posters. Looks much nicer and not like at teenage boy's posters.

the trim around the window, around the door and around the two walls and closet is a deep black

the stencil is in Americana acrylic paint: zinc

the stencil pattern is "iron lattice"

the sage green of the east and south wall work really well with the claret color and the shelves up high for my action figures are a buttermilk cream color that also works well with both colors.

I'm pleased

 In progress - window frame (note the bubble wrap on the window serving as winter insulation on the glass)

 upclose view of the stencil and the wine red color

 one corner of my room - dresser, boxes, USMC wood carved sign, my prayer shawl, tree of life wall hanging and one wine red wall with zinc color iron lattice stencil and sage green wall

Still have just a little stenciling left to do on the west wall and then rehanging shelves up high.  Some trim on the closet and hanging some art work and then clean up my room!
