ONNI IS PRETTY JAZZED ABOUT HIS NEW HALL RUNNERS AND FRESH PAINT

It has been a busy busy year in the studio and I apologize for not being in touch more on the blog.  I have been doing most of my updates and offering new items on my FACEBOOK PAGE  since my blog started having technical issues.  I truly miss blogging and am making an early New Years resolution to get back on track and post once a week to keep in touch now that the blog is fixed.

One of my big projects, besides my artwork which I just finished  is painting the hallway, literally from floor to ceiling…..this ended up leading into my Balinese bathroom update project (below) that features a hand stenciled “batik” floor.

THIS IS THE “BEFORE” PHOTO .  THE WOOD FLOOR WAS TOO DAMAGED TO FIX SO I PAINTED IT


Once I got the hall painted, my “white”  vinyl bathroom floor looked pretty pathetic where it joined the hallway, so I decided to go for it and create a “batik” style painting on the floor to continue my already existing Balinese theme in the bathroom.   The tub is not working so for the time being until we can do a full renovation of the bathroom,  I converted it to a sitting nook.  This is still a work in progress and I’ll show you updates soon when I’m finished.  Below you can see the floor painting in progress. The floor was primed before I started painting.  OH my aching knees !!
