Hello Friends!
Hope you all had a wonderful July 4th holiday weekend. Ours was great, despite the oppressive heat around here. Looking forward to a "cool down" with highs in the 80's!
As for my "Nooks and Crannies/Crooks and Nannies" post, many of you guessed correctly. As one reader commented, she was taking advantage of a "five finger discount" here. I will tell you that I will forever be an Apple customer, and thanks to their iPad locator functionality, I was able to channel the Cagney in me, and locate its whereabouts (at a pawn shop) after it went missing. Along with my son's Kindle Fire.
This whole thing brought out my inner Mama Bear as well as a bit of Donald Trump. Having never fired anyone before, it's exceedingly easy when you add the Mama Bear factor.
Ok, on to the built-ins! I finally got around to painting them that pretty Aegean Teal color that I've been wanting to incorporate into our home. It adds a nice punch of color that I think will tie in nicely with the curtain panels I ordered from Avec Dieu Couture's Etsy shop.

Love the teal but I think you should go for it and paint the whole beige area with it! It'd look great with the rest of your room!
ReplyDeleteLove the details to this room. The ceiling is incredible. Love what you have done. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJenny, the blue in the shelves looks great! Love the pop of color. Such a pretty room with all that beautiful molding and windows!
ReplyDeleteHope you have recovered from all the drama!!
Love the teal background. Every thing on the shelves pop now.
ReplyDeleteLove that! So pretty with the teal background!
ReplyDeleteLove the addition of teal, and your accessories look perfect against it! Pretty styling, too!

ReplyDeleteThe colors complement each other, and the designs of furniture are very artistic.

I happen to find your site after a decorator came by this AM recommending that I paint our dining room aegean teal. I'm hesitate so thought I would see what is out there. Love the look. Do you think it is too dark for a dining room? What color is your kitchen that I see on earlier blogs? Can you email me at amympick@gmail.com? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous!!! I'll be featuring them later today :)
ReplyDeleteOxxo
Those are cute bookcases. It complements with the TV and it's really perfect together. You did a good job on this.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the teal color! I think I would paint the whole beige area white...but I bet you could upload a picture onto Sherwin Williams and change it to white and see how it would look. Or maybe the area around the TV teal also and then the top part all white! What a BEAUTIFUL built in unit!! I am extremely jealous! ; )
ReplyDeleteHi visiting from TDC! I can't take my eyes off your ceiling and I love all the natural light you get in that room! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHello, bounced over here from TDC. The teal really transformed those built ins! Such a lovely space you have!
ReplyDeleteThe blue makes it!! Looks great!

I love this room! Can you tell me what the light blue/green color around the TV built in is?
ReplyDeleteThat color is Palladian Blue by Benjamin Moore.
