Hello everyone!
Remember when I painted the armoire in my family room? I painted the exterior grey with a white wash over it. The interior was left dark. Well.......I didn't like it that way. It seemed like a cave inside. So, out came the white paint and now I'm happier with it.
Now you KNOW me by now, I'm sure! Do you think, after painting the inside of it, that I could just leave it alone? Of course not!
I decided to relocate my brown and white transfer ware from the sitting room into here. I added a few shells and some blue bottles too. I left the baskets on the bottom though.
Do you see what I did with the blue bottles? I put shells in the top of them. I've seen them on bottles before where they're soldered on and they cost ALOT! Well, I had the old bottles and I had the shells, so I just placed them in there and voila! I'm happy with it.
I like the new summery look of the cabinet now.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Go out and catch some sunshine if you can.
Thanks for stopping by!

I just love this armoire. The touches you have inside are beautiful. I love the bottles and the dishes too. Just perfect.
ReplyDeleteCynthia
Oh, yes. Much better with the brighter interior.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's better to change out a big piece like yours in stages. The transferware really pops with the white interior. Quite a difference from the original finish!
ReplyDeleteYes, the lighter interior made everything pop!..You went with your instincts and made a change...a wonderful change...I love the combination of the blues and browns, the formality of the transferware and the casual feel of the bottles....love that look!!..
ReplyDeleteThe armoire looks wonderful in that space!!
I am so glad I found your blog! Its beautiful! I love this armoire you have posted. If you don't mind me asking what color did you paint it?
ReplyDeleteThe lighter inside looks great, Kelly! And, I love your seashells in the bottles!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't thank you enough for your prayers. They are deeply appreciated. blessings ~ tanna
I have a maple curio cabinet that I am thinking of painting..but just haven't gotten up the nerve. I keep wondering if I will be sorry one day..you know?
ReplyDeleteYours is lovely!
Kelly, I'm loving your porch. Hmm, porches are tops with me. And I do love the paint job on the cabinet and the shells look elegant in the colored bottles. Thanks for sharing,
