The gold dining room is no more. In fact it has
been painted for several weeks now, white with a
band of pale aqua at the top.
New valances were the starting point for the
color change. I have several rooms in tuscan gold
and wanted one room where I could but roses and pink
and aqua items.
This cupboard is now aqua too. I
like it with my matte white McCoy pottery.
I am now living with the room for awhile
to decide what kind of chair backs or covers
to make. So stay tuned.
This is an idea I snitched from Rhea at http://sweetnshabbyroses.blogspot.com. She uses these cute little cheese covers
to display or highlight an item on a pretty plate.
So , I was tickled when I found 2 of these at the
thrift store for a total of $1.28! I put one of my
favorite millinery flowers in this one but any number of cute
little treasures will do.
Well, that is it for now for the dining room.
I would love to do the whole first floor, hey, the
whole house in this palette but I have some furniture
pieces that I can't get rid of for now. Some creativity
is needed. But for now, I have my one aqua/ pink room.

Hi karen!
I made it for a visit! :)
I love your Aqua cupboard especially. I too have collected McCoy white pottery. I have, I think just two swans, and a bunch of white pottery dish shapes for flowers etc.
I like how your cupboard truly highlights your pottery!
Enjoy your painting break!

Hi Karen, I just love your redo. It is so inviting and the colors are so pretty. That aqua cabinet with the white pottery is so fresh and gorgeous! I have done the cheese cover idea on plates and love it too. You are so talented and did a beautiful job!
