Saw these adorable little boxes at Primrose & Pearl last week & I loved the saying on them. I 'm happy that I get to sleep in a pretty house each & every night.
So it got me thinking about my house .... I've got the 6 year itch
{I know it's suppose to be 7 yr. inch but I'm coming down with it a year early}
We have been in our home for 6 years this summer. Can't believe it's been that long already & it's time for an update or a change but.... what to do first & how to do it? Hmmmmm......

I love the high cielings & beams in our home but along with that comes a bit of a problem. To re-paint or update that I think we would have to move out for a few days so I want to do something a little on the smaller scale but that would still make an impact. I really like this look- it's similar to our great room in that I have wall space on either side of my fireplace & I want to do something to make our cement fireplace stand out a bit more from the wall color.
What do you think?
-or should I paint the whole entire wall? So many possibilities
I could also add curtains......
Just really wanting a CHaNGE along with the change of season.
{I'll keep you posted on what I decide to do}

can't wait to see the AFTER picture. What a fun new project to start.

I would paint the wall above the mantle AQUA or gray if you want to stay safer! Stripes are fun!! I also read this: http://megduerksen.typepad.com/craft/2012/04/fabulous-four.html

ReplyDeleteA lot in the UK! I like it!!
I think a stencil on the breast of the fire place would be cute!! Stripes on the main wall..subtle! Awe the possibilities!!
Thanks for your ideas Heather!! I'm loving the thought of a blogger/crafting retreat- how much fun would that be :)
