So we finally got around to painting and I love the new green! These are a few in-progress pictures, it is all finished now and the colour was a bit of a debate but I am so happy we decided to go this dark!
We went with more of a neutral in the kitchen, painted out the wood on the cupboards and a few other little touches including this plate wall that I adore and can't stop looking at right now!
I saw the inspiration for this here and had to do it! Mine isn't quite as coulourful but the plates are all thrifted and it was pretty simple to do. The plate hooks were a bit of a pain because they couldn't fit the smaller saucers so Jason had to handle that area, but the hanging and positioning of them was a lot of fun! I love too that I can change the plates out and add new special ones when I come across them which means more items to be on the look out for while thrifting!
Oooo... I love the plate idea! And the green is a fabulous color. You must be so pleased now that it is done and done.
ReplyDeleteWe've been meaning to paint our old house since we moved here years ago, and for some reason we always convince ourselves that we don't have the time! I am inspired to get at it now ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful!
ohh thanks! it really is one of those jobs that you don't want to do but it is so worth it in the end :) the decorating is way more enjoyable than the painting too!
ReplyDeletetotally cool the way the plates move up on the wall!!!!
ReplyDeleteReally nice decorating - that green is so lovely. And the plate wall is such a great idea!
