  1. You know what I really love...that you weren't afraid to paint the molding white! I am huge fan of chunky white moldings.

  3. Love that geometric mirror in your foyer. I think the Trellis pillows/cushions I am giving away (http://michellelalala.blogspot.com/2012/01/giveaway-pair-of-trellis-ikat-pillow.html) would look lovely in that space. :-) And that Troy Sausalito light in your dining room is an all-time classic!

  7. So great! Really love how painting out the trim makes the little stained glass windows pop - you couldn't even tell they were there! Can't wait to see more as it comes together. Happy weekend!

  13. It all looks great, and yes, that kitchen had my jaw dropping then giggling. Your glass blocks solution is very clever and pretty at the same time - now that's making the most out of what you have! Great job!
