Last week, I received a lovely email from one of my blog readers, Karen. Karen and her husband had a common problem with their home, and one that I'm all too familiar with - the dreaded pine ceiling and brick wall combo! Karen had seen the huge difference a coat of white paint had made to my
kitchen and
ceiling, and is also a fan of Millie and Moth's work over at
The Laurel Hedge, and so decided a white wash was exactly what was needed to give her family room a lift. Take a look at the before...
...and the afters
Karen is far from finished with her makeover - there are new lamps and accessories still to come, and her husband is building a cabinet to disguise the fridge and provide more storage. And if the transformation isn't amazing enough on its own, amidst all the reno chaos Karen underwent two eye operations! What a wonderful job, and thanks must go to Karen and her husband for letting me share their makeover success with you all.
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend,
Looks like a different room.
