Just White and Wow Us Wednesdays 5

3.09.2011

Welcome to the fifth Wow Us Wednesdays party. I always look forward to see what fabulous things you are going to share with us so we can be inspired or learn something new.


I am still brightening things up around here and decided I was not liking the blue gray color I had on this table. I am preferring the clean look of white. You can see the before picture here.


The glaze I had added to the blue gray color was looking dirty to me. I may distress this table, but haven't decided yet.


For now it will just be white.


The white looks so fresh up against the brown walls in my master bedroom.
Have y'all seen the new burlap lamp shades at Pottery Barn? I am thinking about getting those.


I love the addition of this white iron bowl filled with moss and a fern.


Family photos finish out the vignette.





I still am changing some things in the master. I want to paint the other nightstand white and possibly
the armoire on the other side of the room. That will leave the bed and my dresser brown so I will have a mix.

Now I want to see what you have been up to this week.

Party Guidelines:
You can share any project, home decor, recipe, something you did, etc. Anything that will wow us.
Link your intended post URL and not your whole blog.
Please please link back to the party!  We do this so others can easily find the party. They may decide that they would like to join in, too. If there is no link in your post they don't know how to find the hosting blog! If you find your link deleted it is because there was no link back to the party. Not being mean, just fair. You can add the link and then link up to the party again.
If you are new here I hope you will become a follower through my google friends connect on the sidebar.
No advertising.

One more thing, if you have word verification on please go in your dashboard and go to your settings and check NO. You don't need it. Google is doing a fantastic job keeping spam out and spammers know how to type letters, too. I don't get it! I am unable to comment to every link and especially if word verification is on. It just takes too much time.

Thanks so much for joining this week,
KIM

    So pretty! Love those precious photos, too. And if you want to DIY those lampshades I'll walk you through it. Have done about a zillion of them, for my shop, myself, and still do them custom for a few designers. It's super easy!

    Isn't it fun to lighten and brighten?! I just ordered white slipcovers ... fun(!), but the wrinkles I faced when I opened the package were NOT so fun ... neither was steaming them out! Your "new" white table looks wonderful against your beautiful brown walls! If you have a Tuesday Morning near by, you may want to run over. I just bought a lamp with a burlap shade (with French writing on it) for $19.99. They're going fast! Have a great night and thanks for hosting! Becca

    White!
    My little four year old woke up Sunday and looked outside and said, "Look! Snow, mommy!"
    I asked where and what, and she said it was a little bit on the tree. We live north of Atlanta. She was pointing at the Bradford Pear! ;)
    We are into white this week, so thanks for hostessing, and I'm off to browse.

    I love the table you are using for your bedside. I would love to have one like it and have been looking.
    I actually prefer UNshabby white pieces. I think you did a great job and it looks so clean and pretty.
    You are one of the busiest ladies I know. Every week, you have something new to show. Don't wear yourself out, dear heart. We love ANYthing you show us. I'll take another post on your adorable sunroom. I LUV it.! :)

    Thank you for hosting this wonderful party! I can never decide if I should distress something or not, here I go painting it and getting it perfect and then I go and mess it up. When I can't decided I compromise and do just a little distressing. I think I like your table just the way it is. I was surprised to hear you say you thought the glazing on the old table looked dirty, that is exactly why I do very little glazing, I think sometimes it looks dirty!

    I think the table looks great, Kim. I'm all for the shabby look, but you have to be sure, once you distress it you are stuck with it unless you decide to repaint it. Love the vignette on it. The fern adds a nice touch and the family pictures are so cute.

    Wow, you have a lot of participants this week. I need to start joining some parties! This one looks fun!

    Just wondering -- Does your husband "get" your style? It took awhile for my husband to understand and like the distressing but when I glaze something, forget it! It's always the same look on his face and response, "looks like it needs another coat!" He just doesn't get it!
