i have never been happy with this area of our home
this is the den which houses the wood stove which heats our home
reasons #1, 2, and 3 why i do not like...
the ugly piping is beyond my control
but spending no money and a few simple projects
this space has new life
first step was to white wash the brick
to give it a bit more character
i simply took some latex paint i had on hand,
watered it down,
and as i would paint it on
i would wipe away with a rag
we had found this old barn board
(... in the barn!)
these corbels i have been using as bookends
a few shots with the nail gun
and here ya' have it...
and here ya' have it...
the change is subtle...
but i like it so much better!
p.s. sorry i have been so absent lately,
going back to work part time has thrown me
for a loop! i am going to visit you all
and soak up your inspiration!
and hopefully get back on track.
