So I took my contractor and we re-painted the entire house.... I took my Faux Finishes paint book and had A BLAST!!!! His study has "leather" on the walls, which was soooooooo much fun doing!!! His den has ancient Greek temple looking finish on the walls....I even did a crack in the wall with a dove feather!!!.....with Greek mythology art on the walls. His master bedroom is light blue with dark royal blue velvet drapes that hang ceiling to floor, and royal blue/gold velvet bed spread and tons of decorative pillows (which was the only thing he hated!!),,,master bath a little darker shade of blue with a 4 foot tall statue of a nymph by the huge walk in shower.....His kitchen I painted a light dove grey and put in all stainless steel appliances......I am getting all fired up to get my hands on sombodys credit card and do all this again!!!! There is soooo much you can do lynzy!!!! |
Wow, would love to see pics of your brothers house, sounds amazing...Your hired!
I have been living in a house full of Mission style furniture (Stickley) with very light beige walls...this is really
his style cuz he insisted on the furniture...thats pretty much it...
I'm not sure what my style is, I love pretty! don't mind florals, ...I love all colors...thats the problem, I thought I wanted bold like a teal liv room, bright yellow kitchen etc., but realize that my fashion sense will soon say..."what were you thinking"....I'm thinking neutral something with pops of something...not dull and boring...oi this isn't going to be easy...I have no idea...so get your plans together!
