Cold Weather Nesting

If you ask me, it's all in the details.

The original light fixtures, the wood work, (btw, my next project is painting the stair risers and side trim white), the lamplight.

Night time gives a warm and welcoming glow to home.  Coming upstairs, 4 rooms lead off the hallway in the original part of our home.

Chickie's room.  The wallcolor (Venus Teal, Behr Self Priming wall paint that only required one coat and no touch ups - and that was painting over stripes!) is actually a deeper color than it looks here, and bluer.

I painted all the trim and doors in the spare bedroom white week before last.  It had been a dark green that was getting tired looking and dated.

You can see the original light fixture up here.  Actually, it was in the dining room when we moved in, and there was just a cheap globe here affixed at ceiling height.  We have a lovely chandy in the dining room now, and Mister had the genius to move the fixture up here.
That's Chickie's TV room to the right of this shot.

Standing in the original bathroom (with claw foot tub), you can see that the hall is nice and roomy.  The previous owner painted the floor up here and in the foyer downstairs, that you can see in the first shot.

So there you go.  You rarely get to see this part of the house, so I thought I'd provide you with a quick tour by lamplight today!

So, I'm staying home and nesting and being so cozy!

How about you?
