I agree with you that the middle she...Thanks Sonya. I agree with you that the middle shelf deserves a big piece. I did finally (at least for the time being because I am always spicing it up and changing things!) decide on the large fun watercolor print for the the middle shelf with the similar smaller print by the same artist. I am struggling a bit with the wall color. My preference on wall color (at least right now, again I change my mind) is for soft blue. We just moved into this home and everything is brown, taupe, or a latte color (downstairs at least). I don't want to repaint now so I am trying to make the warm tones blend with our stuff that is mostly light and neutral with pops of color (blue, green). I am feeling good about it so far. I agree with you, I LOVE architectual details like crown molding too, especially when they're painted white. I notice on the HGtv shows that I watch that the molding the the midwest of the US in houses is left a wood color- not painted. Here in the east it usually is painted white, that's my preference. Take care Sonya. Great hearing from you.<br />Happy decorating and living-<br />MeganCottage Blue Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18084853387757848585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856201566736939422.post-77737038750503042972011-05-17T02:14:40.453-04:002011-05-17T02:14:40.453-04:00I like option three for your shelves - only becaus...I like option three for your shelves - only because I think the middle (second) shelf deserves something a little larger than the first two options. BTW - beautiful home you have - although you know that already lol. Your walls look to be about the same shade as mine - you have beautiful white trim - and alas - my home was built ~ 12 years ago - and the trim is all stained oak - with hardwood floors - too much wood!! I've contemplated painting it - but it seems a monumental task that I cannot undertake - plus it's scary - what if I get started and don't care for it??? Oh - and I really like your crown molding above your windows, etc.... I have it around the ceiling in my great room - and around kitchen cabinets - but - my windows / doors are framed w/ these little wood rosettes in the corners - and the curvy trim that goes w/ that. Hard to change stuff like that - but I really don't care for them.Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551615064333492823noreply@blogger.com
