I love dry brush painting the pieces
that I use in our home.
It is such a delight to paint on old bare wood...
I salvaged a few old doors
from an old building...
they blend well with our coastal decor...
I was so excited to pick up
new pillows from my friend Rose at
Her designs always look lovely
in our home...
{swoon}
touches of spring...
I will be linking this post to Kathleen's
Have a wonderful week
my lovelies...
XOXO
Your home is always so fresh looking Kate.

Cute pillows! Love, love the doors!

ReplyDeleteHello Kate~
ReplyDeleteHow are you today? I hope you are doing well! :) I so enjoyed this post, and all of your beautiful white photos! That door you showed is AMAZING! I love your technique for painting it, too. I need to email you and ask you the specifics for dry brush painting, I have never tried that before but it looks lovely! :)

Those are some great pieces!
ReplyDeleteYou are surrounded by so many beautiful things. The door is fabulous. I'd love to dry painting some pieces here but have a feeling my technique would not be so pleasing to the eye. :) Hope your have a great week. Tammy
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your Coastal Decor, it makes me feel like I'm on a Vacation Seaside! *winks* I could use a Vacation Seaside right about now in fact! *LOL* The Man and I have been experimenting with painting great old pieces that have good bones so I always enjoy a Post about Techniques and the process to get certain looks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my Good-Bye Post... yes, I will certainly miss my Sister and her Family, we are like Twins from different Mothers.
