Making my room more cozy



These little corner cabinets I had made for the little dining area just off the living room have been sitting there without any covering for more than 4 yrs...I just wasn't sure if I wanted to stain or paint them..well after visiting my sister, Mary I was encouraged to do something to them to warm them up!! I started with mixing yellows and browns to come up with a mustardy color...then watered it down. It looked better but needed something more. So I took dark brown paint and rubbed it on in places with a rag....I like them but think they need something more...Help Mary, or anyone else that wants to leave a comment as to what I should do now!!! heheheh!!!

I say live with them for awhile and see if you still want to change them.
They are much "warmer" in color, but they still blend into the paneling a bit, which is okay if you like it.

what about painting the inside a color??

Bevie, I like Mary's idea of painting the inside a color or maybe doing the entire piece in a color stain.....

I do like your milk glass collection...looks pretty.

I hope you have checked out my blogs and seen the retreat pictures...There are different ones on each one and some the same...some cute ones of you and Mary.....I sure enjoy meeting you and so glad you came with Mary...
You're a sweetheart.....
