Farmhouse style inspired fresh paint- but with glitter!

On my drive to Indiana to see my family, then on to get Dewdrop with a visit at Lori's on the way, I did a little antiquing.  It felt good to break up the trip with some stops along the way.  

In the middle of Missouri, I saw these curtains but didn't buy them. 

On the rest of the trek, they  lingered in my mind. I have a thing for barkcloth with roses!

At my pal, Lori's house, I fell in love with her vintage, farmhouse-ish color palette.  And I wanted some gray in my home after admiring her use of the color.

So, fingers were crossed that the curtains would still be waiting for me in Missouri, and yep, there they were.

When I got home, I slapped up some of the coveted gray paint (with glitter added), spread some fresh white paint on the ceiling to brighten up the room, and hung the curtains.  I thought I would do a major rearranging of the things on the wall, but except for changing out a couple of paintings for some that had roses to match the curtains, I left the configuration of mirrors on the wall as is. They are too handy and useful the way they are. I could have changed it for the sake of changing, but then, the grand fairies wouldn't have mirrors just their heights and I wouldn't be able to tilt the mirrors to see the back of my head.

So, even though these had been hung like this for years, I left them where they were.  Why move them if I was enjoying them there?

The glitter is much more prominent in person.  I wish it showed up more in the photos.  I am loving the soft, subtle shade of gray and its flash of sparkle.
