My Puds! That recipe works

My Puds! That recipe works
Done with the hall above the stairs. I was entranced by Farrow&Ball Pelt. After a test patch I freaked out because it is so dark and rich.
I tried some other colors and none of them inspired me to climb a 10 ft ladder at the top of a staircase like Pelt did.

Farrow&Ball Pelt proof of concept in my hall
I was worried it might be too dark but it is not, it plays with the 2 west facing windows beautifully. This is the NICEST paint I have ever used.
I love the way the dark pigment that changes with the light

I was immersed in With Love, Meghan! now on episode 5
It is so joyful and fun and interesting. I wish she did 20 episodes a season
I knew about Masala Dabba and always wanted one but I had no idea that was what they were called
I got this on Etsy!

Stair hallway painting project, before and after a test patch of Farrow and Ball Pelt & Peignoir.
This paint is insanely expensive, I want to put it through it's paces before I decide. It is supposed to react to light in a very dramatic way

I ordered a led strip light with a motion sensor to mount in this frame so every time something goes by it will light up as if it were in the sun.
That is the theory! It will be nice if it works, I haven't seen this in the sun since i made it

If you want to up-level your dog treats, get one of these, stuff it with rotisserie chicken and plug up to holes with bread or tortilla.
Or stuff it with any good food.

Here is Chiquita the Olympic-level pill avoidance dog enjoying her bone-in deconstructed chicken tortilla ball. She has been at it for 10 minutes, in a bowl that would have been down her throat in under 40 seconds

Chiquita has human psych-ward patient level pill avoidance skills
She gets chicken, then the pill in chicken, then more chicken, then more chicken, I figure the pill has to have gone down by then
I move on to her friend, and repeat, then more chicken and THEN CHIQUITA spits out the pill

Biggest thing i learned is you need to use Centos. I even did a blind test where I got every peeled tomato can in the store. Centos always tastes like you could just drink it, the others vary and are more expensive. If you are going to pay 4 bucks for a can of tomatoes get these

Final styling, I love the anthurium, and the orchids, but it was just too much with the wallpaper, so they exchanged places with whatever this is from Trader Joes
Best bang for the buck styling was magic marker to turn the $60 white bidet add-on black

The final question, decapitated cat or blank black shelf?
I used to have Egyptian canopic jars in that shelf, but with this wallpaper anything else looks like too much, so do I leave it black or do the"visual open back" look?

Peel and stick wallpaper bathroom is done and I did not get injured doing it (that was a concern)
I learned to take pictures & then look at them on my device for a day or two before continuing, it is easier to see in a picture than in person
