New Colours...

Welcome & thank you for stopping in for a visit today! As I have mentioned in past posts my Sweetie and I are downsizing to a Condo in the next year or so and I have decided to add another colour scheme to our decor. What do you think?
Our collection of Victorian art has allot of sepia colouring and seems to go well with the colours I have chosen.
The mercury glass look that is now in every store I see really goes well with my tarnished silver pieces that I used to feel I needed to keep shiny. Lol ... much easier not to polish the pieces!





Two of our 1920 wing chairs are off to be recovered in these tones and I will share with you before and after photos once I get them back. Today I found some wonderful fabric to recover a few stools we have so they will go wonderfully with the new look.


Thanks again for stopping in and I will share more with you as I get the new look more together. Have a wonderful week ahead.
Blessing from Our home to Yours..

    Love the new look, have fun, a change of color is always fun to play with, and it appears that you have lots of choices to go with when staying a little neutral. Blessings for your move, Marilou

    Oh Wanda, you are so right. These tones are perfect! Just lovely!
    Now I am anxious to see the chairs when you decide and get them redone.
    I hope all is great with you friend!
