Farm House Look to Beach Cottage Look and a few Pilgrims inbetween!

Kristen saw this at a Thrift Store and loved it....and thought I needed a project....which I love to do so I said bring it on!
 
 To match her house she wanted a dry brush grey....I went with the Behr Primer and Paint and it was smooth sailing....
 I kept the distressed look and shades of brown to tie in with her hard wood floors.....
 She wanted the doors to look like they were sitting in a farm house for years and I love the way they turned out.....
 Here is the finished product in it's new home.....we spray painted the hardware a deep steel gray and she painted her focal wall a blue silver color and it ties in so nice with the rest of her house!  Done and Done!

Besides a lot of consulting work, condo rental viewings, paperwork that never ends and taking my mom around I did not accomplish much more than that this week! 
 
One thing I did was score a major Thrift Store find on these Annalee Thanksgiving pilgrims and turkeys.....paid pennies on the dollar for their cost, new with tags.....this thing I have for pilgrims!  Combined with the genealogy research I am doing perhaps they are channeling to me?????

We need to replace our carpet in our living room....one too many visiting doggie spots to certain areas!  We are extending the hard wood floor we have in the rest of the downstairs and it will match perfectly.....it is distressed walnut and sort of looks like this.....


 I think I will replace the sage green in the living room with more of a beach cottage color palette:
 This will mean lots of listings on Craig's list, rug shopping, husband coaching, but I hoping to achieve something like this....kinda....sorta.....but still in the planning stages......

Stay tuned!
