Paint a New Face!

Hi Ya'll!

     Been away far too long so will try to do better! While I was away I have become obsessed with redoing, re purposing, reinventing,    .....you get the idea.  Thrift stores have become my favorite haunt.  It all started with helping child #3 prepare for her new digs in Florida.  Another post coming soon on how her furniture is coming along.  But then I went shopping in my own house.  I found this old wooden tray. Not bad as it is but a little tired looking.  Soooo with a little paint it is now a special part of my guest room  for only the price of a little paint.  Go shopping in your home and see what kind of hidden treasure you can find.  Hugs, ele

Go Bold in Small Spaces!

Have you ever seen a wonderful wallpaper or fabric that was very big and bold and thought to yourself, 'I could never pull that off'', or  'I like that but I don't think I could take a lot of it'?.  The answer is to use it in a small place.  Half baths, utility rooms, and entry halls are perfect places to go bold. Just because a space is small does not mean it can't be fun or have bold impact.  Here is a half bath of my friends new home,  the black molding really sets off this bold paisley. ( this home actually won a home show for the design the year before she bought it)

I also have used bold pattern in my entry hall.  I have actually had this paper up for 10 years and am not a bit tired of it.  You can see it through my glass front doors and I love coming into it.

So don't be afraid, go out thee and BE BOLD! You will love it!!!

hugs to all, ele
