I've been busy lately Gentle Readers. In an effort to entertain you I'm going to show you my upstairs hall. I stripped off some nasty paper and painted the walls last fall when the cat was away in the Dominican Republic. It's still not done up but I want you to look at my old dresser.
I think a lot of girls had a similar one when they were teens or younger. It's really beat up. My girls used it lovingly. That wall was once the end of the house and is covered in wide horizontal boards. I don't think I should paint it, do you? Remember, this house was built in 1802.
There are all kinds of stains and smudges that just won't come off. I've seen lots of pictures on the Internets of ones that people have made over.
Or, this one.
Here's the other end of the hall.
Is that hall gorgeous or what! Don't you love the colour (gag) of the floor? The staircase is just past the pine dresser and you can see a couple of shelves over it. My paint brush wouldn't reach that far so of course it isn't painted yet.
So dear Readers, I would like some advice on what colour to paint that dresser. It isn't going downstairs in one piece because we had to take out a wall to get it up there, so I'm stuck with it. Should I paint it some bright happy colour like red or turquoise? Maybe a sedate gray or pale aqua. I bought some great drawer pulls majorly on sale some time ago for it. Please help. Maybe your input will make me gitter done. Or not.
p.s. To cheer
me you up here's a photo of my grand baby that daughter #1 just posted on Facebook with her Iphone. These high tech youngins!
