It is amazing the difference paint can make.
All the walls were a glossy white and woodwork a dark brown. The dark brown woodwork would not have been too bad if there had not been white splotches all over it.
My bedroom is now teal blue (darker than in the photo) with white floating shelves for nightstands. My vintage light fixtures are finally on the wall. They are not in this photo as they were installed afterwards. These are the only flannel sheets I own. Later I will buy new sheets. As well as sheer drapes and drapery rods to make a canopy.
As well as painting I have been removing paint on light fixtures. After removing the paint on the hallway light I replaced the light globe. Then I decided to paint the walls and start my gallery. I need to get a short rod to add below this rod as well as find which box the photo paper is in. I have three more frames. I love the walls painted in warm Caramel.
The big project is painting the kitchen cabinets which I am working on now,
This is how they looked like
This is how they will look. Lots of cleaning since there is even sticky stuff on the inside. Then lots of patching. Then sanding. Two coats of paint and they look like this. I am using a dense roller to add texture to the drawers and doors.
I don't have pictures but the entry is painted pale yellow. The woodwork lavender and the dark brown closet painted the same teal blue as the bedroom.
I can't believe I have lived in this house for almost five months now.
That is all for now. Wishing you Happy Frugal Crafting till we meet again.
I've been thinking of you over the last little bit, wondering how you are. I see you're very busy with lots of awesome results. I love the yellow on the cupboards. It looks like the same yellow I painted on my one wall in the kitchen.
