Farm House Fabulous a Re-Decorating Story

Meet Maritza's dinning room,

It was a room in need of an update...

In the original room the walls were painted with

Eddie Bauer Crimson EB28-3

Although she loved the idea of a red dinning room

Maritza wasn't sure if her current color ideal.

She wasn't happy with the window treatments either.

When talking with her she mentioned that her ideal room would be calming,

warm and inviting.

A place where friends and family would happily gather not only on holiday but over a cup of coffee after the kids had gone to bed.

She wanted a room that felt lived in!

After reviewing my notes and much thought

We decided on going in the following direction

FARM HOUSE FABULOUS

I stumbled upon upon the following Ralph Lauren Linen

and new it would be ideal for her drapes.

We decided on moving forward with the floral linen.

The inverted pleated drapes were left unlined

so that the afternoon sun would shine through adding additional warmth to the space.

These window treatments became the jumping off point

for the rooms color story.

Originally she wanted to not have to repaint the entire room.

So we opted to use 

 Benjamin Moore Arroyo Red 2085-10

in a glaze finish over the upper wall

Using the following technique

Pottery Barn Faux Denim Wall Finish

and painting the lower wall in

Benjamin Moore RM - Richmond Bisque

As with most renovation things change as you progress

The orientation of the paint color on the walls flipped

and we lost the faux finish.

The color choices were so perfect

that switching the orientation

didn't affect take away from the over all look

The hard work is completed

and now

 it's time to accessorize!
