whitening

studio208_white.jpg

Onur and I painting the interior window pane in the studio. The ugly burgundy/brown color was bothering me since I moved in, and finally we got a chance to cover it with white. Took some time-lapse photos of us masking, painting, then finally removing the mask over the course of three days. Check it out:

daisy wreath

daisy_wreath.jpg

// Last week – with Onur’s help – I painted my separator window frames to white. I had these wreaths I got from Sirince, a village near Izmir/Turkey. When you visit, you buy one of these hand made fresh daisy wreaths, wear them and walk around with them. It looks quite pretty.
I managed to bring a couple back with me and I hung them next to my evil eye protectors, over the new painted windows.

I really love how they complement each other.
