This is one of our kitchen walls before I went on a crazy wallpapering frenzy. One door leads to a small pantry, the other is a cupboard. The holes are for wine bottles, and the two black iron doors are old wood burning oven doors that the previous owner built as cupboards as well. You cannot really see in this photo, but there are two iron doors per cupboard and the open.
The walls are a greyish white. The stairwell is open as you can see, and there is a painted stone lion on one of the steps.
The doors I repainted, the difference is bearly noticable in the photo. The shade is one step darker. More taupe than grey.
I am not sure that I like the after look better than the before. But it is interesting to look at. I am thinking to paint the desk. And certainly will move the clock. Doesn't it drive you bonkers when someone moves the clock?
Yesterday, Sophie came by (our friend who is going to house sit our home while we are gone) she went upstairs to put some of her things away. When she came down she had Stinky Cat in her arms. I nearly threw the paintbrush at her. Instead I sighed,"Where did you find that cat!!! That is the cat the peed all over our house, and fell down the chimney the last time we were gone."
"Oh, it was purring outside the bedroom window, just sitting on the ledge purring, welcoming me. I opened the window and he came right to me." she smiled, carressing the Stinky Cat, "We are going to be good, good friends, I can tell! Isn't he so cute? You never told me that you had a cat?"
Lord help me. The Stinky Cat has now befriended Sophie.
Note:
Stinky Cat is my affectionate name for it. I got the name from my eleven year old niece Marie.
