Well, I have gone and done it – and I’m never looking back!!!
I absolutely love it. The hubs has finally come to grips with it as well (what a good man). What is it with men and natural stained wood??
Feel better all ready, don’t you?
The look for this new home is envisioned to be a mix of all the styles I love, and have dreamed about for years.
I’m calling my style a {modern farmhouse vintage beachy cottage} look. Can you do all that in one house? Well, we shall see.
I personally think it turned out better than I hoped for. The white tongue and groove is so lovely.
Now the really fun part has begun. Furnishing and decorating. I’ll be sure to keep you updated. In fact, all this might overtake my blog for awhile, as it has my life.
I also needed to paint up my craft room space before I moved everything in. Here is what it looked like before.
It was a exercise room for the previous owners, so it had padded flooring and poop brown walls. Yes, that is what the color reminded me of.
It was full of yellowish stained wood. Which I am not fond of.
I stained the wood trim with walnut colored gel stain. That took care of the yellow tint. We also painted the walls an ice blue color. It freshens it up a lot, but I wish I would have gone a little more blue on the walls. Oh well.
Then I took some sand paper and roughed up my lines. I did this for the look, but also so I could stop worrying about every scratch or ding. Now all that will just add “character”.
You have a gorgeous home!! I somehow missed when you posted this. I was thinking of you today and decided to check your blog and apparently I haven't checked it in awhile. I hope you have gotten all moved in! I LOVE the white paint job and jealous of your craft room. The striped floor is so fun. I saw that on pinterest recently and thought it would be so fun to try sometime. It's so
Congratulations on your new house. It's gorgeous!<br /><br />My hubby would have been balking at painting that ceiling, too, but it looks really good.<br /><br />Roughing up your craft room floor was a great idea.
