What has happened to my table? Have you noticed I have done more porch settings lately?
Well, it is because my kitchen table looks like this:
A few weeks ago, during a brief 2 days when Emma was feeling better, it was time. The furniture had been mine as a child and belonged to my parents as newlyweds. I inherited new twin beds for the girls' room and all of the Ralph Lauren and matelasse linens to go with them. The room was painted an off-white in 2009 and decorated with an odd shade of blue.
So I considered painting the furniture and adding an antique-looking freehand motif.
Which is exactly what I did.
I am not done yet, but this is what has happened so far.
I haven't had a chance to refinish the hardware yet. I have decided to hang curtains and valances over the beds. I wanted to hang some art work above the beds as well, so I painted some silhouettes of the girls between coats on the furniture. Excuse the mess in the kitchen while everything was in progress.
We have not figured out the room arrangement yet. It is tough to fit everything into their room without throwing out toys, which include huge American Girl items like Tiki bars and theatre seats. I am still trying to figure out where those things are going to go.
I will keep you posted as I continue to update their room. And I have big plans for my son's new Lego room!
