You've done it again, Chrissy... just lovely!! I NEED to find me a great bench. I've been seeing them a lot lately in Blogland dining rooms... LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteLove the ironing board turned shelf, too! I have a vintage wooden ironing board, too. It's green right now. I've been wanting to paint it white and use it as a display table... as is. Not sure how it will look... we'll see. :)

Whatever you do, you Inspire me Chrissy!! I love this room! I thought about making a few shelves myself, who could know a shelf was hidden in the shape of an Iron board? you are so full of ideas.
ReplyDeleteI hope this season is good to you, myself finding it hard to embrace the cold mornings. I am glad to have a woodburning stove.
Have a wonderful day tomorrow,
Warm hugs, Aina ♥
I love it! As to your question about color at my house...I'd say it is the same reason I love all the white, shabby chic at your house. I think that there are styles that we love, that maybe we couldn't live with. They make us feel good, but they don't really suit who we are. I love all your peaceful white. I find it interesting and calming. But, I need pops of color around me. I'll wear all black and add a red scarf! You need the peace of the white, but a visit to the more colorful may also make you smile!
ReplyDeleteWith blogging we can enjoy it all!
You have such a wonderful way of pulling everything together and making it look so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe bench fits in perfectly.
hugs
