Comments (22)ttodd - Glad you stopped by to comment! I love your beautiful home and value your input a lot. About the pictures, can you elaborate on your thoughts about the wood frames. Are you thinking of stained wood frames, similar to the bureau? It would be really helpful if you could post an example. I'm trying to envision things. I am wondering if I do wood frames over the current bureau if it will appear that too much wood of the same tone is concentrated in one area of the room. But, as you said, if I bring in the painted candlesticks and other items, it could balance it out. Also, do you think I can group the three animal prints together, leaving out the rose picture? I agree with not painting the bed and bureau to start. I'm hesitant, as the condition of both are very good, and I know it will be a lot of extra work! ales9179 - Thanks for your thoughts. I'm hoping I can keep the current dresser. Since I share the room with my hubby, I don't want it to turn out over the top feminine. I love French Country style, but I guess more toward the French Country Farmhouse side, if I had to define it; relaxed and beautiful at the same time - sawdust and pearls, so to speak....See MorePaint kitchen island french country cream with glaze- help please
Comments (15)Wow...unbelievable Before and After, Twg7590 ! Beautiful, simply beautiful. Blondie2007, Using Twg's pic you've seen what some white paint (any shade of white) can do with a little prep work, patience and time. It's really not hard. And the end results are 9 times out of 10 so worth it! Actually, the hardest part for me when painting anything is the preparation (prep-removing hardware, door fronts, good cleaning, light sanding, good primer, etc.) of the item so that I get a really good, long-lasting, durable painted item. Personally, if you aren't happy with what you have, paint it! What have you got to lose? *smile* And there are so many people here who really know their stuff when it comes to painting and glazing cabinets so you'll be in great hands should you need some help or encouragement along the way....See Morecountry french decorating help needed...:)
Comments (5)I was just in a home Friday night for a Holiday party that used a blue and yellow color scheme in a very traditionally decorated home with a slight nod to French Country. The floors were hardwood in the foyer and DR and cream colored wall to wall in the FR. The paint throughout the first floor except the DR was a very pale light yellow faux paint. The DR was a darker blue damask wallpaper with gold silk drapes. Basically, the entire first floor was done in varying shades of blue and yellow, stretching from the pale yellow to dark gold and pale blue to a bright french blue. It was very pretty and uncomplicated....See Morehelp! French country/transitional style family room!
