My husband and I are in the process of renovating a house in the mountains that was built and decorated in the late 1970's...let your imagination paint the picture!
I will post before and after pictures at a later date but for right now I am decision mode trying to add details that will give my home character and charm. Much of the bones of the home will stay the same - the floors, the cabinetry, the floor plan - which leaves us with an exciting challenge to use paint and creative ideas to add charisma.
I have put together a series of posts that will highlight some of the things that I like and am trying to incorporate into the design. Have I mentioned how much I love Pinterest? It is making my job as weekend decorator a whole lot easier!
The first detail I would like to highlight is a skirted counter. I love the softness and cottage charm it brings into rooms that typically do not have soft furnishings. We plan to skirt a little section of the kitchen counter to hide the recycling and also plan to update the master bath cabinetry. We are using a neutral Belgian linen similar to the first image in the kitchen and a brown ticking stripe in the bath.
I am still searching for a source for the small diameter brass rail and rings...anybody?
