Tea Cups in the Garden

• Oct. 30, 2007 - Day 32...Faux No More

Posted in House Remodel

The faux attempt is not going well.  I am so discouraged.  Before I get to that, here's the mitered corner dh did on the tub tile trim...

Here's the cabinets when they were Lemon Meringue, causing the walls to look like Key Lime Pie...

Here are the cabinets repainted Pam's Lace and the walls look sage again...

And here is the back of an old kitchen door that I tried some faux glaze on.  The other side shows a heavier look, so I added more glaze to the pigment.  Here is the sample against the sage walls in the bathroom...

I'm not liking it.  I sent a picture to dh at work.  I'm ready to quit.  I'm getting a headache.  I have so many other things I need to do, like lesson plans, sew medeival costumes...laundry! Yet, he has such confidence in me.  Sigh.  I'm thinking I'd like the bathroom to stay a nice white.  It's a small space and we have so much else going on.  However, I have considered a crazy thought of doing this in the kitchen, which looks too white! However, they've already had a polycoat put on top.  I have no sample boards to test drive.  Here's the white kitchen with the sample board propped up on the counter by the stove, awaiting dh's opinion...

I think I've met my match!  Pam's Lace, in the kitchen and the master bathroom, is nice!  Any tips?

I have no idea if you should faux or not, but I LOVE your kitchen!

About Me

Gardens thrill my soul. My senses awaken, my soul is refreshed, my mood calms down...and if given time for quiet ponder, I've enjoyed the sound of buzzing bees while collecting pollen, the delightful croak of shy Mr. Toad, the exuberant flutter a hummingbird near my face thanking me for scrumptious flowers, and the gentle touch of the butterfly who settles on my shoulder. I've been known to walk into the house with my hair showered in lavender crepe myrtle blossoms and my clothes covered in blue plumbago blooms. Picture a rustic wrought iron bistro set with floral cushions and gingham pillows under a crepe myrtle dripping in blooms. I've set out some tea. Come and sit with me while I catch you up on the latest of the happenings in my family. Welcome to my garden.
