Wonder and Whimsy June 2025 Challenge: Staring at the Ceiling

June is here, and it’s finally time to share what I’m going to be doing for this month’s challenge! Hurray!

So, like the one last month, June’s challenge has a rather mundane foundation. You see, in the last few weeks, I have dealt with a fair number of migraines. (That tends to happen when the seasons change, unfortunately.) During that time, all I could really do was sit on the couch and stare at the ceiling.

Lucky for me, the ceiling in our living room is actually quite lovely.

It's a combination of cream and white and gold, with touches of silver shadow, juxtaposed against the rich wood of the ceiling fan. When the light is on, it is more golden hued; when the light is off, it is more silver.

The people who lived in the house before us did not do much in the way of decorating. They did, however, go all out on painting this particular room. I think it was originally intended to be the dining room, but through a series of unrelated events, it became our living room. Which means that I sit on the couch, can look up, rest my head, and have fun getting lost is the gentle gradients of cream and white and gold.

So, that's what my challenge is based on this month: the ceiling. 

Yes, literally, the ceiling.

And not just the colors, but the soft hue changes and the juxtaposition of it against the brown and gold ceiling fan.

This is my way of not wasting anything… taking even the weather-and-allergy-induced migraines and being inspired to make something (hopefully) lovely. Trying to find the beauty in, quite honestly, everything. (And also amusing my husband greatly as I take pictures of the ceiling and mutter about finding the perfect shot.)

Thanks so much for stopping by to see what I’m up to. Come back on Friday, June 27th to see what I end up making!
