Fresh coat of paint!

I am so excited!!! I have been painting my walls for a couple of days. As you can see from the image on the left ,  the walls were hunter green. Not sure where we get this bright ideas. Painting it so dark was not a good idea. The room that doesn't have a name actually because it is between the kitchen and the dining room, is long and narrow. The green made it look much smaller.

I chose Vintage White from Glidden and gave three coats. The cabinet that I purchased from Sweet Magnolias Farm was already cute and now is the most beautiful thing!

The shutter was a gift from Lori and I am so happy I found a place for it. I added chicken wire in the empty space. Love it!






I am working on few details in my office area that has been painted too but as you know where We create is always a mess!
