Is Summer Here?

Thanks to Susan at

"Between Naps On The Porch"

its time once again for

Metamorphosis Monday.

Be sure to stop by and see all the

wonderful and creative ideals that

are waiting for you there.

If you saw or remember my post from last

week, I showed the coat closet in my

mudroom ,turned into a food pantry.

I also said that the flowered wall paper

boarder would be coming down this summer!

The boarder and the wall paper below the

chair rail were here when we bought the

house and I don't know about you, but I hate

stripping wallpaper, but I was soooo pleased

the previous owners primed and painted

before they put the paper up, so it was toooo

easy to take down!!!

Well....

It was driving me crazy, so I took it down this

week and also added a fresh coat of paint, a

darker more rich tone of gold that I picked

from the stripped wallpaper.

So onto the results.... Last week...

Now.....

A picture of my breakfast area before with

the boarder and the lighter yellow paint.

No boarder and gold paint.

Now onto a small self that is over my sink.

This was here when we bought the house.

The after with a little molding!!

This made a great little plate rack and now I

don't have to worry about them falling off.

I already had the piece, all I needed was

to add the black stain.

I hope you stop by next week for another

installment of my kitchen update. We did a

little work to the center island and a few

other little things to perk up the space.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to

let me know what you think.

Oh and before I forget my one year

anniversary will be coming up!!! I will

soon have a preview of the giveaway

for all my followers.

So stay tuned!!!!!!

Bye for Now,
