Just a few things to show you I am working on.
I am working on painting and changing up my living room and entry way.
 |
| I am moving away from the creams to light grey and white. The color I painted in the living room is called Gallery White with just a hint of light grey. You can see the little bit of grey contrast between the white cabinet and the wall. The new chandelier I got at the flea market from the same vendor I got the bedroom chandeliers. She is very reasonable on her prices and has some of the prettiest chandeliers. |
 |
| I thought I would show this picture of Junk Chic Cottage. It is not always clean and put together especially when a project is going on. My house has stuff everywhere!!!:) |
 |
| I am getting ready to redo the entry way too. I found this cute grey vintage piano bench at the flea market for $20. Loved it was grey and already chippy. |
 |
| The only thing I have back up on the walls is my shutters and old curved chippy window. |
 |
| I also got this cute little coffee table for the living room yesterday at the flea market. I was scoring some great finds. I think with it being the end of the season the vendors were doing great prices. So I got lucky on a few things. |
 |
| I redid my mantel area this week end too. I got these great side windows at a shop I frequent in Geneva. They were so chippy and fabulous. I thought they looked great next to my vintage mirror over the mantel |
 |
| Just a few changes with some new finds at the Flea Market. Now that I have the living room painted and the hall stay tuned to see the transformation. My hubby is building me a new Armoire for our TV in the living room. So I am waiting for that to be finished and then I can put the room back together. Have a great week. Kris :) |

Girl you sure are ambitious. I need to paint my cupboard and have procrastinated about it all summer long. Looks like I now get to pain them inside.
ReplyDeleteKris, I love your new finds! The windows over the mantel are just gorgeous, and they look perfect there!

Everything is looking great so far. I am working on changes in my living room after stealing the cabinet and moving it to the entry. I seriously did not do any tweaking or decorating when I was on pins and needles about KC getting her job. Now, I am super motivated.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I am tired doing gardening at 2 houses!
You got some great pieces, Kris! Love the piano bench and that it is already grey. I think your whites will stand out more with the grey walls. Love your arched window with the shutters. I'd love to find a window like that to mirror and add shutters to for our dining area. I need the mirror in our condo to reflect the living room windows since we don't have windows on one side.
ReplyDeleteGreat scores this weekend! The date just passed me by. I am loving those side windows and the piano bench (the gray and chippy part got me!). I know you must be so excited about the armoire, I'm sure it's going to be beautiful!! Can't wait to see it all!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Love your beautiful new color! Your room is looking amazing I am going to need yet another tour of your lovely home!

Beautifully done. Amazing top shot!
ReplyDeleteStunning ...I wish you could come over here and do my house-love dee x
ReplyDeleteOh Kris, I love everything that you found. I sure wish we had some great shops here, we do but they are SO EXPENSIVE.
ReplyDeleteI just look and keep on going. I can hardly wait to see the finished product. Good time to work on projects, not to hot and they weather is cooler.
Have a terrific week and don't work to hard.

love the wonderful grays and whites! that cabinet in the first photo is just amazing!!
ReplyDeleteYou found some great stuff girl! Love the windows over the mantle. Beautiful as usual!
ReplyDeleteJudy
I love the shade of gray you have on your walls and the contrast with the white, can't wait to see it all done!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I used to think grey was a cold color but recently, I've found it to be a wonderful neutral. Love your finds and can't wait to see everything all done!
ReplyDeleteI love the changes Kris! So pretty! Wow, your husband is building an Armoire??? That is so awesome! I love furniture. I guess this means you didn't take the weekend off, you are definitely on a mission lately! It's looking great!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how quickly you get things done, Kris! You scored some wonderful things at the flea market and you've already got them in place in your home. I'm impressed! And lucky you to have a handy hubby to build you a new armoire. I'm on the lookout for an old cupboard that I can use to hide my TV. My current armoire is way too big for the room. Love the changes you've made to your living room!
ReplyDeleteI really like the greys and whites together. The wall color looks great and jus enough to define the white furniture in front of it. Well done and great job on finding some deals
ReplyDeleteYour grey walls will make your whites really pop. Can't wait to see everything when you get it all done.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Cindy
Oh Chris, I almost can't wait to see your redecorating! I'm sure it will be amazing as always. :) x Julie
ReplyDeleteWell, as long as it is your walls going grey and not your hair you should be okay! It looks great so far- and I can't wait to see ti all done with everything back in place. I have always liked grey- I think it is a great neutral. Hope you had a great day- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteBeautiful new finds, Kris. Grey and white is just lovely! I'm sure your place makes even the "messy stuff" look pretty : )
ReplyDeleteThose shutters and windows are the perfect touch Kris - just fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that piano stool too - can't imagine what you spend on a weekly basis on your house though lol -
but wow - I'm so in love with every single thing you do!
XOXO
O, my....everything looks absolutely AMAZING....you are sooo good at this, Linda.

love the chippy windows and white table, kris! the little grey bench and chandy are adorable cute--my favorites! the new wall color makes a prefect bkgd for your white treasures--love it!
ReplyDeleteKris, I love the gray! A couple of months ago, I went from a beige to light gray in my living room and it really brightened the space up!
ReplyDeleteI really like your colour choice, and I think your mantel is gorgeous. I also love your shutters.
ReplyDeleteLooking wonderful, Kris. What Flea Market do you go to for these great deals? I want some shutters!
ReplyDeleteYour new finds are gorgeous! The mantel is wonderful and i like very much your colour choice

You're really going to town on painting!!! I do like the crisp white look you're going with.
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
Boy Kris, I am beginning to wonder if you ever sleep??? I love all the updates and the pieces you found. What you did over your mantel is so very pretty. Love everything as always!!
ReplyDeleteCynthia
You and your husband are so ambitious! Send some of that energy and talent my way! Love the chandelier and the little table you found! Nancy
ReplyDeleteI love all your chippy windows and shutters! Your home is so fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWow Kris, love your new side windows. All of your windows are just wonderful! The bench and table are perfect too.
ReplyDeletehugs,

I can't wait to see the new armoire. I have one that is too big for my space. I am thinking I might have to get Dad to alter it or just buy a new one. Also, our TV is really old style (but not quite vintage) It will soon pack it in, then I will be looking for a flat screen. I have very few ideas how I am going to decorate around one of those big black boxes. That is why I am looking for ideas early.

I just love all of your beautiful architectural pieces you have on the wall and above the mantel...the room looks amazing with the new paint color...I cannot wait to see what your hubby has made...anxiously waiting for the reveal...
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful!! Love the new color...and all of your lovely collected architectural pieces. Be still my heart :)
ReplyDeleteYou leave me speechless! You found the most amazing things, they are going to look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThe color change is subtle, but oh so elegant! Love it!
Hugs,
Patti
Very, very pretty. I love how you displayed your old windows and the mantel. It's so very lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of everything you have done! Beautiful would love to invite you to come share at One More Time Events Share it One More Time http://www.onemoretimeevents.com/2013/11/home-and-hearth-share-it-one-more-time.html Hope to see you there! Hugs Tammy
ReplyDeleteKris, it is all going to look so lovely. I need some of your incentive to get going!! I have so many projects ahead and I just can't get moving. Your fireplace mantle looks so pretty with the windows on either side. You not only have incentives, but your imagination and foresight is beyond compare. I can't wait to see the final project..Happy Wednesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful Kris, can't wait to see the final look. I love greys too and I'm sure you are going to make everything lovely.
ReplyDeleteLoving all the grey you're adding to your home against the white! I've had many color schemes in my home before and eventually tired of them, but so far so good with the grey and white. I think you'll enjoy it too. It compliments white so well!
