The Bedroom

My bedroom has been pretty much unchanged since the early 80s...Laura Ashley fabric, botanicals on the wall, swagged curtains. As much as I still love the fabric, the room looks dated.

Kitchen - Done, Finally!

The weather is finally nice enough to have the windows open, so the painter was here today to remove all traces of the stencil design in the kitchen. I tried - but two coats of water-based Kilz didn't make a dent in covering it up and I never mess with anything oil-based.

I had never replaced the original contractor ceiling fixture over my breakfast area. A chandelier wasn't a good choice because the wiring was not centered over my table and couldn't be without ceiling and electrical work. I just didn't want to get into that mess. Last week, looking at another decorating blog, I came up with the idea of a schoolhouse light.

I hope this is it with the kitchen for awhile!
