Dreamy……

I just finished the first of my two living room end tables and the difference is AMAZING!

005

Here is the original color.  This one is eagerly awaiting its turn.

004

And here is the new color!  I am thrilled with the way it turned out.  Color is an amazing thing, don’t you think?  This is the only thing that is different in the entire room, and yet it changes everything.

006

I painted the existing detailing a metallic silvery/gold color.

I was fortunate that the tables already have a fantastic crackle finish.  This shows up even better with the more neutral color.

Look at the cream table with my new chairs.  The perfect compliment.

002

I also changed my alcove sheers in my bedroom.  White.  After searching all day for the perfect fabric, I ran by Wal-Mart and found these for $10.00 each!  The perfect price made these the perfect panels!

003 

Miss Willow, being a neutral girl herself, is loving the neutral color schemes!  I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the pillow is down filled……nah, that couldn’t be it.

Heather and I are both working on several pieces of furniture for our booth at the Rink also.  More details to follow!

Happy Tuesday!

  6. Those tables look wonderful painted white with the silver highlights. I pretty much like everything better once it's painted white. What a fabulous job you did.

  8. Denise,

    The tables turned out just beautiful! I love the way you used the metallic in the detailed areas....just so romantic, shabby with a hint of Tuscan thrown in. :0)

    I look forward to what you come up with for your space at the Rink.

    ♥ Love, Hugs & Faerie Dust ♥

  10. New here and must say i will be back.. Just following blog links and saw bella dreams.. click and here i am .. The table makeover is stunning. Love the fact that it has the crackle showing.. You did a wonderful job. It does make such a difference. I can not see much of the rest of the room, but it really does soften up where the natural wood (which was lovely as well) just sat there.. The paint did for the room like Jewelry does for the new outfit..
