Pantry – Painted Back Door & Dining Room – Picture Ledge

Sep 2, 2008 By Layla

Look what I did. 🙂

Soooo much better, right?
The color is called “Ryegrass”. I got it at the Home Depot.

I also played around with some frames that I already had, just to see what my new picture ledge in the Dining Room would eventually, sort of, look like.

In the next few weeks, there will be a completely different, and more cohesive, display of black-and-white photos up there.

I’m really pleased with how the Dining Room is (slowly) coming together.
Crisp and Cottage-y!
My favorite kind of space. 🙂

Ciao for now-
Layla

And if you have a second, pop over to HGTV.com and rate my audition video! I’m desperately seeking 5-star ratings!

    Lovin’ that! I have been waiting to for you to paint it. Is that so wrong? Do you think that I could pull something like that off on my metal back door that has not cute windows and cottage appeal??

    Okay, fine. You’ve apparently been busy. I’ll let it slide that I haven’t heard from you. :-} The door looks fabulous!!!! There are so many great shades of green out there, and you picked the perfect one! Oh! I covered the lampshade with fabric. I went to Jo Anne’s fabric and bought @ 1/2 yard of it. You’re doing great, Layla! Keep those pictures coming!

    What a perfect green! It looks so pretty on the door. Your whole house is beautiful. :o) I voted for you again. Keep reminding us and I’ll get over there as often as possible. And THANK YOU for all the garage door photos!! One of these days I’ll print them up and have you autograph them for me… ’cause I “knew you when.” :o) Thanks!

    Nice contrast with the green and black! Will you be showing us a bathroom makeover sometime? I ask out of selfishness, I want to redo my kids’ bathroom in a beach type style without going overboard. So far I have a striped shower curtain in blue, sage, tan, light brown. I also have a cool wastecan that is actually a sage color bucket. Not sure on the wall color and definitely don’t know what to do for other accessories and art!

    That looks GREAT!
    I’m dying right now, there’s a screen door almost identical to your’s in someone’s trash and I have no way to get it. It’s raining and I couldn’t get it in my car. I hate to see it thrown away!!

    The picture ledge is fab also. Really like the look of those framed words.

    Miss Layla, Could you please tell me what color white you have chosen to use in your home? Hubby and I were looking at your photos and he thinks it's a cool white. I am really loving how your white looks with everything and would like to grab a swatch of it and see if it would work on my trim here. (I'm still going back and forth between painting trim & woodwork white or cream). Also, I have to know…Do you love your black cabinets? Do you feel like they made your kitchen feel small? Hubby loves the idea of the black cabinets, but I'm afraid it will be too much in our area.
    Thanks in Advance for taking the time to answer my questions.
