Oh, I am so happy with my shelf!
I changed the color and what a difference it made.
It use to look like this. . .
But, now it is a beautiful BLUE
And I love it. . .
This is more my style. . . Much softer, more feminine.
I don't know what I was thinking,
Painting the shelf and frames Black. . .
I must have gotten caught up in the black graze that was happening.
It has completely changed the feeling of my living room....
I painted the shelf Faded Ink, by Martha Stewart
Then I antiqued it with Min Wax Stain, Provincial
I change the decorations on this shelf frequently.
I wanted to show you the WHOLE wall, but I am not
Finished with all of the frame grouping.
But, I couldn't wait to show you the shelf.
I am so happy with how it turned out.
I will be doing a lot of painting. . .
I am changing the color of some of my other pieces
Of Furniture. . . and accessories. ..
I am going with more of a softer, calmer, romantic look.
Come back to see more. . . .K
I will be linking this with
These wonderful blogging gals. . .

ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I think that shade of blue is the most popular color this Spring! I love your blog...it's so cheerful! ♥
ReplyDeleteGreat color, faded ink, sounds so romantic and yesteryear. Normally, I love rich black elements in a room, but I prefer the faded ink. Nice. Thanks for posting. ~CJ
ReplyDeleteKarie, I really like the light blue shelf and white frames. It's so feminine and fresh. Sometimes it's fun to try new things like the black, but it's good to know yourself and paint is so easy and expensive to get the look you want. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,
