Some of you may have seen my cherry blossom post at Pink Mohair. Well, clearly I have a bee in my bonnet about those cherry blossoms, so I started experimenting with paintbrushes and craft paint. I like the red and pink flowers, the white ones not so much, and defintely not interspersed with the red ones. I'd like to add a bird and make the next mural less busy in the middle with thicker branches in the center. What do you think - Can this replace wallpaper in the foyer?
I like the pink & red. The white looks kind of odd. I think it would look good in your entryway.

I think that looks super. Come and visit me anytime... I like the mix of colours, including the white.

I was just saying at the other blog that I was looking for cherry blossom stencils yesterday! Free hand! Wow! It looks great! I like the idea of a bird. I can't see the white flowers well enough to comment. From this vantage it looks great!

Gorgeous! I think it looks lovely and quite professional. A new career, perhaps?

Pink dear, I think it looks great! I had no idea you were such a painter. I say go for it. Paint the whole foyer. Besides...if you don't like it in the end you can always wallpaper over it. I think this looks just gorgeous.

I can't believe your response. It's been my life's dream to be able to paint something so thank you so much for your encouagement. I wonder if husband will notice?

This looks awesome! I'd keep going and do the whole foyer for sure. It would be neat with a couple birds in there. Very original!

Big YES! Continue on with that, and I think you'll find you won't need wallpaper.

The red and pink are definetly my favs, but I don't think all is lost with the white. You could lightly go over them with some pale pink and have really pale pink flowers too, that would look great!
I'm glad you are keeping the wall color, because I think its LOVELY!

casapinka: check your junk folder, i think it ate up a few of my emails!!!
Posted by: drey | March 05, 2007 at 09:26 AM
Hey Pink - I'm impressed!!! Love it - all the colours too! I would just do that instead of wallpaper. Funner and cheaper. (P.S. Just posted pics of my bathroom renos on Flickr - have a peek, so you know why I haven't been commenting much lately)
Posted by: kiminottawa | March 05, 2007 at 09:49 AM

Posted by: samantha | March 05, 2007 at 07:47 PM
love the wall color - as well as the cherry blossoms. what was the pale blue paint color you used?
Posted by: susan | March 09, 2007 at 11:53 AM
Susan, I saw the color in a mag and went and bought it - I'll try and find it for you. I didn't plan to use it under the cherry blossoms, it just sort of happened and I like how happy it is.
Posted by: casapinka | March 09, 2007 at 09:04 PM
That wall is really lovely! I think the blue is the perfect blue as backdrop. Yes, do it. Keep it coming!
Posted by: jessica | March 14, 2007 at 02:41 PM
