Done with Painting...
We had started a project in the Master & Master bath... It was painting trim work and caulking crown, changing trim color etc...
 |
| I love this picture postcard - of course I never tire of chandeliers! |
 |
| Freshly painted trim, new monogrammed pillow shams, put on the Rachel Ashwell shabby chic duvet |
 |
| Polka dots + monograms = blue cottage happiness! |
 |
| Vintage white pillowcases - bought at a auction |
 |
| Burlap lamp shades mixed in with all the black white - |
 |
| Painted the back of entertainment center wall black - made such a difference. |
 |
| See the before here -- The beadboard was black, after 5 years of it - I was ready for a change - Painted Extra white by Sherwin Williams - Hung my bread baskets with white linens |
 |
| To give the bath a contrast - painted the built in cabinet black. The vintage crystal handles really pop now! |
 |
| Simple.. clean... a few bare walls but enjoying the simplicity! Find me here on Pinterest! Smiles.. Valarie |
