  • The armoire in the corner is from the 1800's...I love the burl wood and will not be painting it.
  • I've thought a slipcover on the chair would lighten up this corner of the room. 2

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!

    the chairs and loved the lighter color in the corner.....however, the leather chair is too big for the new space. So, I put them back, but it helped me see that a slipcover may be a good option for the leather chair.

    Tufting is definitely in the plans for upholstering the coffee table.

    thanks for sharing!

Painting electric heaters

I just bought a small cottage. The electric heaters along the base boards are a little dates and slightly rusty. Can I paint them? Will the heat affect the paint?
