If the ribbon isn't working just use painters tape to give you a straight line and easy breezy paint stripe and remove painters tape:)

For some reason I always have problems with it bleeding under the tape :(

I use the frog no bleed painters tape and it works great...if you use regular painters tape do more of a dry brush effect.

the box is so cute! get clear spray paint and go over the whole thing?

Here they are! Real plants. I also added a pic of the other centerpiece

Soooooo very nice! I love it! I love the trim around those boxes, too! Can they be scooted back a little for just that much more distance from the water?

And I have trouble with paint bleeding under tape, too! LOL

That looks great Stacey!! I saw these urns and was thinking something like this would be pretty on your window ledge too between the boxes and the lamps if you moved them out a little more. You wouldn't have to get these, but something similar. Another thing I've seen is porcelain coffee/tea pots setting in windows with plants in them like maidenhair fern or miniature roses. That would all look good with your lamps and boxes and help transition the height difference between the two. Just a thought

I love the dough bowl on your table with the plants too!!

Another vote for the lamps. Love them!

We'll I guess that's it for now until the trim for the curtains and the rug are delivered.

Time to start painting that bathroom vanity!

You have such a beautiful home!!! And you are working soooo hard on it! Cannot wait to see that new rug. Maybe it will come early!

Thank you! It's so much fun. I can't stop!!!!

Trim came today! They didn't have navy so I got black. Should I put it right on the edge or leave a little space?

I'd come off the edge an inch or so. That's pretty!!

Off the leading edge 1" is perfect...love the black!!

While I was waiting for the trim I finished the vanity :)

LOVE the black...and on the mirror, too.

Thought of you yesterday as we bought a cement pug statue for our grand daughter....it looks soooo real as it is just the right size and color. I sent a pic to her mom and she said we were almost in trouble as it looked REAL!

Looks great Stacey!

like the faux stained glass too! looks sharp.

Downbytheriver, so funny I've been trying to figure out what to do with that window. It faces out onto our porch which is very close to our entry door. So we need the privacy all the time. The fake stained glass does the job but I think it looks a little hokey. I've been playing around with the idea of blinds which would look nice but they be closed all the time as were in and out of the bathroom all day long. I also need ideas of what to put on the counter in the bathroom.

well you can get the same thing only in a clear frost instead. or what if you painted that window trim black?

Trim is done!!!

NICE! Was it easy?

You are just getting all kinds of things crossed off your list while you wait for that rug.

And look who got more snow! We got 10 inches over the weekend.....and that was after enjoying a couple of nice weeks where all that snow we had before had melted. Oh, well.

It was easy! All you need is an iron! Yes we got over 12" and it's still coming :( I'm so ready for Spring!

I can't wait for the rug! And that overhead light fixture is bugging me but my husband loves it :(

Wow they look fantastic! Stacey you are amazing:))

need to work on your hubby with that lighting over table! Once you get that new rug you are going to want to change it out for sure! Can it be used in any other space that has overhead lighting?

Thank you! I don't think so but we sell lots of antiques, etc. on ebay so maybe I could convince him to sell it. Any suggestions? Something lighter I presume...

That is the nail on the head for that room, what a great idea Home Interiors and great job Stacey! looking sharp!

The drapes are awesome with the trim. Great suggestion Home interiors!! Can you post your rug again? I can't remember what it looks like

Here is the rug

Looky what came early!!!!

EARLY and PERFECT! Gosh, look how nice this room is! I hope you are proud and happy and just enjoy this space. Great job!

That is perfect!!! I agree with abbyjean!! And your babies seem to like it too!!! That's what really matters!!!

Wow!wow!wow!....it is fabulous:)) rooms looks wonderful

Thank you all for the wonderful advise! I love it! Now that fixture.,,,

Kichler

me looky and like! Noticed the corner vase 'shows' now... seems so nice there... woof!

It comes in a linear design too...but I think to dressy for this space....I used that in a formal dining room here on house for Cait....FYI it is now turned properly...for some reason the electrician thought he was a designer and hung it this way!!! Crazy.

What do you think of this? Great price!!

Pretty! Now I have to warm my husband up to letting go of the existing one (that we paid over $600 for!)

I still like the one you have, could you hang it in the formal dining?

This is the one in the formal dining

picture no posty

the other dining room......... i mean maybe

Stacey what size is your room and ceiling height?

The peak is 15-17 ft

I would put the one you are taking down in there!

and sell that one at a consignment store
