    Love the bird house idea. Very creative. Not for me right now, but wonderful idea and I bet ...»
    it's beautiful. My husband & I are just starting to be empty nesters from children & animals so I really like not having any responsiblities besides my flowers & little pond outside. Andie- going to have to look at it closely and see about that idea. It has my wheels spinning on how I could take off the back part and only use the doors & top piece because it would make a really beautiful headboard. I don't want the thickness of the piece behind the bed so I'd skip the storage, plus I think my husband would look at me like I was crazy if I told him I wanted to hang it on the wall. It took 4 of us to load it into the pick-up & we have plaster walls.

  • The t.v. wall across from the couch.  

I plan to upholster the coffee table to create a tufted ottoman. 

I've add more pictures to the gallery wall and am changing the drawer handles on the dresser.  Reveal to come soon!

    Your livingroom is a mix of classics both masculine and feminine. However, the majority of the ...»
    furniture is more masculine. The coffee table is one of the feminine pieces with the curves so if it were to be made into an ottoman, I would maintain the curves and cover it in a feminine pattern similiar to the Ikat pattern seen in the chair pillow and tuft it like the chair. This would maintain its feminine nature as well as make the tufted chair not stand alone as much. However, I like the coffee table as a table since you already have an ottoman. I think I would see how it looks to switch the placement of the two chairs to bring brightness to the corner. As for the mantel, it needs to have the green apples grouped if not removed. The mantel needs to have the colors from the pillows brought to it with some height. I hope that this helps.

French Impressions Part II - the Bed Transformed

We have had our bedroom suite for years. It was time to make a change and I was inspired by photos found in a Betty Lou Phillips book. This is part two. I started with the dresser and then painted the bed.
