WOO HOO!!
There are some fun things happening over here… but unfortunately I can’t share the news yet! There are a few of these little secrets in the works & hopefully I can share them with you all soon. One of them involves our dining room.
I painted the entire room white yesterday (without telling the hubs… SURPRISE HONEY!) The funny thing is he came home, looked at the room & asked what color it was originally (& had been for 6 years!) “Babe, it was brown.” Big transformation. It’s light & bright! & something I thought was going to be a quick change. A little paint & a new pair of drapery panels… done. Uh, not after our brainstorming session last night.
Somehow the conversation flipped from “What do you think about a narrow ledge on this wall?” to “Let’s build an entire built in bookcase around our french doors!” Something like this…

Really?!? I have wanted built ins forever!!! I can’t wait to get this project started!!! I immediately started sketching out our idea.
I love the idea of a collected library feel in the dining room. I am already styling these shelves in my head & they aren’t even built yet.

This may be the best thing you've done yet. Can't wait to see!!!!!!
Wow! That is going to be gorgeous!! Can't wait to see them. So funny about your hubby not remembering the color before- I guess that means the white looks really great.
Wauwww! It looks amazing..

Hi, I'm new to your blog and loving it. I can't wait to see your bookcases. I love the library/dining room feel as well and have a couple of gorgeous bookcases in my dining room. I'm working on styling them and the dining table to be more of a library feel too. I look forward to hearing about the construction process and how much you like the finished project!
Awesome news! I'm excited for you!!
Excited for you – can't wait to see the project and your news! Take care, Laura
this is going to be good- I just know it!!!! Cant wait to see it!!
