Filling In

Hi friends!

I've been trying to figure out what to do with the space between the top of the cabinets in my kitchen and the ceiling since we moved in this house three years ago. 

There were lots of things I knew I didn't  want up there, but I couldn't figure out what would look authentic to my house. After lots of pinteresting I finally decided to hang plates! 

The traditional metal plate hangers intimidate me, so I did a little research and found these plate hangers online. 

They've been up about two months now and I've only had one plate fall off the wall 😂 I'm sure that was due to user application error ha!

I didn't really have a plan when it came to hanging the plates but I'm happy with how they turned out... But I'm sure I'll still move them around a bit!

Things Are Looking Up

Hi friends!

It's been a bit since my last post, but I have some free time thanks to the snow storm that has had me quarantined the past few days 😁

One of my latest projects was a fairly easy one (thank goodness!). I painted the ceiling in our master bedroom. It's a project I wanted to do for awhile and finally got up the nerve 😄 This is the first ceiling I've ever painted and I really love the way it turned out. 

I started with several different sample colors and painted the same ones against the wall color and against the whitewashed pallet wall to see which one went the best with both.

I really liked how most of them looked and ultimately chose one that was one shade lighter than the lightest one- so four samples and I didn't choose any of them ha!

The lighting in the final result isn't great but you get the idea 😁
