Before... old wallpaper border and door with a coat of primer.
I should've never moved that big cupboard into the closet. It opened a whole new can of worms around here! There has been nothing but painting, wallpapering, more painting, moving furniture and collections from place to place ever since.
However... I am liking the lighter look of the new textured
wallpaper border.
And I like the door painted in the new buttermilk shade that I plan to paint the kitchen cupboards and all the trim around the dining room and kitchen windows. Needless to say I will probably be painting my fool head off for a few weeks.
With the hot sticky weather and the mosquitos as thick as mud outside it's best to find projects to do indoors. The only trouble is now I have projects to last well into the next season.
I'll leave you to ponder a couple of photos of my dining area that I took a few months ago. Things have already changed quite a bit including moving a different table into the space.
So stay tuned....

Love the door color!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! You have done a great job Cathy! It is beautiful! It sure has been hot and humid hasn't it! I'm hoping to get my kitchen updated soon. Ready for a new counter top and new floor.
ReplyDeleteIt is looking great. The trouble with making "little" changes is it usually turns into a domino effect and the jobs keep multiplying.
ReplyDeleteLove the new look - fresh and crisp !
ReplyDeleteNice work.

Love the look! Have been in my new place for almost a year and have done hardly anything. Desperately need a new chandelier in dining area but a sloped ceiling means a long drop. Like yours.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Cathy that is always how it starts... one little thing turns into a great big project! can't wait to see more! OLM
ReplyDeleteYour efforts are a nice improvement. You certainly have a lot of energy!!!
ReplyDeleteLove redos! You have such a great sense of color and style (of course, just look at your rugs!). Also, so enjoying taking a peek into others living spaces. Can't wait to see more!
