So far, I've been very happy with my redo. While it was a big job, with all the heavy lifting, cleaning, and painting, pausing to do little projects helped break up the job. Like cutting up an embroidered runner to make a curtain for this cabinet, and adding flowers to it.
And tucking millinery into this chalk wall pocket.
And re-hanging some banners in the window.
Sorting hats by color was so entertaining. I could have played with them all day.
Odds and ends that I care about from around the room were gathered together on this vision board that features a gorgeous needlework piece by Beth.
And I looked through old scrapbooks and albums as I sorted out the bookshelves.
Some things I liked as they were, and rehung similar to the grouping they used to be in, just on a different wall.
I even slowed down and plucked some old hats to refill a couple of the jars that had been dipped into for projects.
In this punch bowl, I placed a stack of rose covered hats and sat it on a mirror, whose frame I broke while moving it. The mirror makes a pretty tray.
Over all, I am very happy with all of the small changes as much as I am the big ones.
I think your room is so inviting and inspiring! I love all the little touches of personal art and such mixed in with beautifully displayed collections of items to use or admire. XO
