My Favorite Room

  

     I am so excited to share this    

       with y'all today! This is my          

   absolute most favorite favorite   

           part of the house! 

            This room took 

     me weeks & I mean (I never   

    thought it would end) weeks!! 

     And technically I'm still not    

   done because I still need to do   

    the staircase- but that doesnt   

           count right now ;) 

         So... Remember this... 

              The oak was     

         never ending. Crown   

   moulding, trim, cabinets, blinds, 

        doors, floor, fireplace,  

   staircase, etc etc- and where 

       would it end?!? This was   

      going to be a huge project! 

     When we looked at the house  

  my immediate plans were to paint   

        the panels & stain the   

    fireplace darker to make it pop. 

(Sorry about the light... These were the pictures taken when we came to look at the house.)

     Then after we got in here I debated... Was I ready to take on       

             this project?!? 

Well I'm glad I did... 

It was such a mess along the way...

But SO worth it in the end!! 

     This entire room was all done with paint including the fireplace     

      surround. I have had a few people ask me if we tore out the 

      old tile... Nope! Just some good ol' paint! 

 Its amazing how a little paint can make such a huge difference!

Before... 

After... 

     I'll break it up in more detail   

  about how I did everything along    

    the way, but for now... I had to 

   share the finished product :) 

    Thanks as always for looking!!
