New Night Stands!

I found these great night stands for my room... just to transform them into something more along the French Country style I am looking for.....

I chose to use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and also Old Ochre, and then both Dark and Clear wax...

they are coming along nicely.  I did some of the old ochre color on the inlays and also around some of the little details and also around the drawer inlays...

I even painted the handles!! WOW I love how they turned out!!

updates to fireplace mantle wall...

I needed an update and something that was not to costly and or labor intensive... I have seen alot of plank wall looks around so... here is our version...
