Home Sweet Home Tour – JC's Loft

Paula from JC’s Loft is a great source for DIY decorating ideas, especially if you love to entertain.  She recently shared some before and after photos of her previous home:

Red eat in kitchen area before…

Pretty after… (believe it or not – that’s the same chandelier after a little DIY magic!)
Kitchen before…
Kitchen after…
Sponge paint in the living room before…
Accent wall after…
We all do it – remember to take a “before” picture after the progress has started.  Paula says the dining room was dark red with gold sponge paint technique.  
Dining room after…they installed the chair rail themselves!
Master bedroom before…
Master bedroom after…I love damask print.
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful former home tour, Paula!

Tragic Sensation – Behind Green Doors

Dramatic blog post title?!  Well, that’s what it is. A dramatic tale of a tragic entry turned sensational!

The Blog:  Tragic Sensation

The Project:  Painting front door chartreuse!

It IS dramatic.  In an awesome way.

I am in love with these doors.  The chartreuse was a bold choice but it definitely makes a stunning statement….

because the doors before

were really quiet and said hi.  Now they welcome you with a smile and a “Hello!”

More pictures and steps at Tragic Sensation.  I love the wreaths too.  And the fleur de lis.  Talk about a grand entrance!  🙂
