Oh Happy Day!

20 October 2007

A room in our home is finally finished! It's only the entryway, but we're all about baby steps here...so here is the *BEFORE*



And here is the *AFTER*

It's just been a little here and there, but it gives me a ray of hope for the rest of the house! I attempted my first color glaze, and I painted over it twice I was so frustrated with it. I was going for a soft, kind of parchment look. I kept getting interrupted and then when I picked up again, my pattern would look totally different. But once you get going, it's actually kind of fun. I finally realized I could only do it after the kids were in bed. I want to find a cute mirror or something to put above the table.

  3. It looks AWESOME LISSY GIRL! You've got STYLE! And you are ahead of me on posting pics of your place! I'm still working on it. It seems when I've cleaned the place, and it's picture ready, I get distracted, and then the next thing I know is it's messy again! UGH!
