This past weekend my Mother in Law came to paint (and for Littley's baptism). This was our dining room before any projects: (ew.)
Then Mr. Incredible put up (with the assistance of my brother) crown moulding: (isn't he incredible?)
Then he put up shadow boxes (appliques?) and my MIL painted the whole room. ! Hurrah!
The color doesn't look like the above though. It looks too blue in the picture. The picture below was the inspiration, and this is what are walls truly look like:
(via martha)
the color we chose is called Gypsy Teal, and the crown moulding and chair rail and below is called Churchill Hotel Lace. (such pretty names, huh?)
Now I just need to hang pictures, curtains, get a rug, new light (did I really say 'just?'). Stay tuned.
I think that turned out great with the white on the bottom! really pops the blue and i think if you did two colors, it might have looked too busy. but this room looks expensive. be sure to let us know of the curtains you get ;)
ReplyDeleteah yes the curtains we got are draped over the chair in the one pic. they are the pottery barn silk "wheat" color. aka gold. like i said, the room really isnt blue- that was the camera's take on i. it's really the teal color of that martha stewart door. the room will kinda look like a peacock (which i liked and what i wanted.)
ReplyDeleteohhh, the rich, gold curtains will look awesome! good color pic! this room is going to look so luxurious when its done! good choice on the molding! i love it ;)
ReplyDeletewell thank you mrswright. I'm pleased with it myself. I can't wait til it's really all done (pictures etc)
