Congrats Carmel! you deserve it...that wall is gorgeous! I tried stenciling a dining room wall at my house and had to immediately paint over it b/c it turned out so horrible. I know how difficult stenciling can be and you mastered it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Your dining room is so stunning - a definite inspiration. I'm trying to figure out what the cool, graphic, black & white art is on your hutch. Behind the glass lamp and below the wall clock...is that another DIY?
ReplyDeleteSo HAPPY for you my dear!!! I am so excited that you finally are getting the credit your fabulous style deserves. Hope all is well....miss you my dear.
