I rarely show it because it's in the family room and gold floral -lol. I wrote down the brand and name in case I wanted to order a new slip cover for it. It's Mitchell Gold Alexia!! I might try to order a new cover in the next few months.

The mirror looks wonderful too and good job on distressing the raised parts to make them stand out a little more. I consider black, grey, and white to all be neutrals, so I'm sure the new color will go with anything you bring into that room.

When we had our...Wow Kelly...that looks gorgeous! When we had our den repainted a few years ago I had my fireplace brick painted and my mantel beefed up and painted as well. I'd really like to "plank" above the mantel but have not mentioned that to my handy man to add to my growing list of "wants"! We have a guy that does my honey do work and he recently bought a fixer upper and is working on that so I'm way down his list of jobs! Maybe this spring.....<br /><br />I haven't invested in the Annie Sloane paint yet and doubt I ever will....just seems too expensive for how little I'd use it. I've heard about the one you used and think there are a couple more out there that give the same finish, but much more reasonably priced. You would think with all the exposure ASCP gets at some point her prices would come down some.<br /><br />We are having wonderful weather here....can't wait for the winter to be totally gone.<br />Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083048394782111088noreply@blogger.com
