Like so many others I had the country look in the 80's and into the 90's. Then we moved and I totally switched gears. I went with more of a Tuscan feel and felt very comfortable there with my greens, and earthy tones and some splashes of deep red. Must say looked really nice at Christmas!
After being in my house for more than 10 years, I have finally grown tired of my Tuscan (eclectic) look. I never got rid of my antiques so I have a good base of things as I collect and turn the corner to my new design.
I have been playing with Annie Sloan chalk paint and have numerous things on my list to attack! I have already posted my dads little table previously.
My next project was my sofa. Mine isn't that old and is still very pretty.
I hired my paint man to give my kitchen cabinets a facelift. No new counters, floors or appliances. But you will see all of that soon as we progress.
So my plan was to incorporate the lovely soft blue greens by changing the pillows on my sofa. I ended up finding my perfect choice of fabric and used Jo-Ann's Store half off sale to buy my fabric. I used the stuffing out of my old pillows to keep from having to buy that and am keeping the two silk pillows that match the sofa.
The den is keeping its current color and my silk draperies in there stay.
Stay tuned as I venture along shabby-ing up the place!
love it! i heart the blue. i want to do blue in my bedroom...
ReplyDeleteok, so i am peeking into the background of this picture and i am thinking of all of the fabrics you could use to recover those chairs in the dining nook.
