A New Paint Job

Well, I finally got it right...I wanted to paint and did but,it was way to dark
I loved the color but it just wasn't right for a bedroom...I went back to, picked
the same paint but just ask that they lighten it a bit....I think, it turned out
just right! Now, I may never be able to match it again....

I moved things around as we were painting.... everything old
is new again, even Miss French got something new to wear.....


Enjoy the Day!

    Beautiful - soft, serene, very inviting. The white adds just the perfect touch of romantic
    loveliness!

    Ann, you new room is stunning!!! Kudos to David...the color is gorgeous. I noticed that it looks like you have scrunched tissue paper(maybe) on the walls...is it? I'd love to know your technique.
    Anyway, everything is magnificent...love Madai's banner, your beautiful manni, the alabaster lamp...every detail. Love the heart in the frame.
    xoxo,
    Sandra

    I like the paint makeover as well as Ms. French's. Your paint choice looks like what my bedroom is suppose to get painted, but it just hasn't happened as of yet.
