Because the doorway just needed a little something!
BEFORE
I added a pair of these pine brackets that I got from Home Depot for $7 each,
painted them white and then nailed them up, caulked and painted.
AFTER
Here is the final product. I think it adds a little fun to and otherwise functional space.This is the entry to my pantry/laundry room. You can see more of what I have done in this room here. I would like to find a cute screen door that is all worn and put it up. I already know my husband is just going to love that idea...not really. I am going to do some more in this little space and will show you soon.
I have to get back to the farm now. Spring planting is a critical time and I still have much to seed and sow. I will update you on Friday will all that's in the ground and will talk about raised beds.
Happy Tuesday!
Caroline, I love it! I adore the chartreuse with the Courtly Check!!! Too, too cute!!!

It's a beautiful space, and adding the brackets was the perfect touch! Looking forward to your post on Friday!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I think a screen door would be fabulous. I just love the slap sound they make when they close.
ReplyDeleteCaroline, You do know how to make everything look so lovely! Can't wait to see whats up at your little farm.

I see you like black and white check and probably MacKenzie Childs. Check out my blog with a catagory of my MacKenzie Childs inspiration painting on the lower right sidebar! You won't be disappointed.

I just love this--a small change but adding so much style--so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteLove it absolutely!! great color, great idea. Whimsy is an essential part of a home! If you have a moment, come visit my other blog Bird/Like, I added a bit about whimsy in the post on Insiration Journey (a party hosted by Modern Country Style, which I think you would enjoy!)
ReplyDeleteCaroline,
ReplyDeleteYou are such an inspiration to me!
I am starting to entertain the idea of putting
in a vegetable garden this summer. Our bunnies are so large and greedy, I have always thought it
would be too much of a battle! Now I am inspired again. :)
Thanks for that!
BTW.... I just passed a Stylish Blog Award on to you this evening on my blog. Please stop by soon and take it and share it as well!
Thanks,
Alison
