        Thank you so much for the response! You did a beautiful job in your petite powder room! I thought this would be the perfect wallpaper for my commode room to tie in a ceiling I painted a shade of blue in the adjoining bathroom. In case anyone else asks you about the wallpaper I thought I would let you know that I am told it is now discontinued. Keep up the good work! So glad I came across you on Pinterest…love seeing your decorating!

    Hi Cindy-I always enjoy reading your blog and seeing what beautiful decor you have. I recently acquired a set of the altar candle holders you collect. I love they don’t quite work anywhere in my home (outside of the fall season) because of the color. I can’t even tell what they are made of, they’re like a cross between ceramic and resin. I don’t want to ruin them by painting them the wrong way or color. I would love to send you a photo and see if you might offer any suggestions. Thank you and keep doing what you do! Janet

    Hi Cindy, I have a question for you. I’m looking at your post about the French blue dresser and will be using it as a guide for redoing a bed frame for my daughter. Her bed frame is plain and simple, no embellishments of any kind. I have 7 days to finish before I leave on a 3 week trip. Have you any quick and simple ideas to add character to a plain Jane bed frame? Thanks for any help you can share with me.

      Hi Diane! You’ll be surprised that just painting the bed frame will add so much character. You could add some furniture mouldings, but I think if you paint and then add pretty bedding, it will be fabulous!

    I just finished one of your beautiful pumpkins. It was so fun to make. I have a question for you- I like the way the gold looks like it has a wash over it- darker in the crannies- did you do another layer of something on top of the gold?

    My mind is racing as to what other projects I can cover with these wonderful molds! Thank you for the tutorial!

    All the Best,

      That’s wonderful, Kathryn! I did not go over the gold with another layer, I just lightly gilded the raised areas on the mouldings, leaving the recessed areas darker. I hope this helps! These molds can be quite addictive!

I think I saw the same ( ? ) angel on the floor of your shop. Is this item for sale? If so is it made of concrete? S this might make shipping to Texas too expensive. Thank you in Advance!

      Hi Terry!Unfortunately, if you are going to distress it after painting black, a small amount of yellow undercoat will show through in some of the areas that you distress. I would suggest stripping the yellow paint off before painting black.

    Hi Cindy! I absolutely adore everything in your home and of course love French style décor.. I would love if you could take a minute and give me your valuable opinion please ! I wanted a built in bookcase..so I made one out of billy bookcases from Ikea and used trim to cover the seams in between. I do plan on filling the holes with spackle and I have painted it but it still is not giving me the feeling I get when I look at your French cabinet with the chicken wire! Can you take a look at my photos and give me a suggestion if you don’t mind terribly! I am thinking of painting the back wall a creamy color, then covering it with gold colored chicken wire… what do you think? Any suggestions?

    Hi Cindy, I love all that you do and have a question about adding a chalk paint wash over painted furniture. I tried it but it left brush strokes. Should I have waxed the first coat first? I would appreciate any advice because your painted furniture are always works of art. Thank you!

    • Cindy says

      July 6, 2019 at 6:17 am

      Hi Karen! Many times, when I use a thin wash over a base coat, I will apply it with a brush, and then wipe some of it back with a soft cloth. If it’s leaving brush strokes, the wash may not be thin enough. Another method I’ve tried is spritzing with water. Apply the second coat full strength (not thinned in any way) and as you apply it, spritz with a thin light spray of water and let it run. Then take a soft cloth and blot where needed. I hope this makes sense!

    Congratulations to you for your excellent work and ideas! Thank you for being so available. I need advice right away as contractors are working on our place. The big open concept room that has the pickled white ceiling (Minwax), did you put just one coat on? Also it looks whiter between the planks, did you do something to illuminate the spaces between the boards, like caulking or something?
    Thanking you in advance Cindy!

      We used just one coat. We applied the stain and then wiped back the excess with a soft cloth, which probably left a bit more between the planks.

      Hi Cindy! I stumbled across your blog today and instantly fell in love!! I am slightly obsessed with French Country and adore all your renovations!! In 2016 my husband and I purchased a 1960’s ranch that was very similar to the interior of your home right down to the pink foil wallpaper in your master. Ours was in the dining room!! And like you, we opted to paint over it. We spent a year renovating it and of course I’m still tweaking things here and there. Your style is so similar to mine and I’ve noticed a few things on your blog that I’ve used in our home. For example, the window treatments and throw pillows in your master is the identical fabric from Hobby Lobby that I used to recover a chair in our den!! Seeing your beautiful home and finding similarities in my own reassures me that I’m on the right track to creating my own French Country inspired home!! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with everyone!!

    Love your blog on Copper in the kitchen! I connected thru your site and bought several copper pieces along with the cannister set. Been looking for that for a long time! This is 1st time to see your blog and I’m going to love some of your ideas. I live in Florida and am very eclectic in my decor. Have to be as I’ve lived in 7 different homes (most in KY) over 25 yrs…all different styles of architecture….Modern, Spanish Colonial, Cottage, Tri-level, California Ranch, Condo, Apt. so I’ve had quite a bit of furniture/styles to either use or pass on the family. When we moved to FL last year a daughter purchased our “Frank Lloyd Wright” style home. I had to leave behind my Arhaus tile/wrought iron dining table and 6 leather chairs. It didn’t fit into new kitchen. But having seen a copper topped oval table years ago in a show house, I finally have my own.! It is beautiful! I’d send a pic but don’t think I can on your comment site. Anyway you can find pics via google. Love copper since my Mom’s day too…while it has come and gone I’m so glad it’s in vogue again! Thank you for writing about it….your home is beautiful

    I am in love with MANY of your pieces, thank you for sharing your site. I love your re-pained blue chest of drawers, wish it was for sale, it is my favorite color. Sigh!
    I have to ask you about three things.
    First I love your Madonna bust in the same picture as your rose velvet chair. I took a picture of it but don’t see how to attach it. I love her! To clarify, she’s not for sale, correct? Only the two on the online store?
    My question next is that I would love to have One. Which one, in your opinion would be easiest for trying to make it look as much like the one in the photos with the rose velvet chair.. to age it? I was going to pick the more dramatic colored one and age it but wanted your opinion.
    Next, I am crazy in love with your huge kneeling angel that is in the corner of the photo. Are you able to look for one for me, or large angel statues for the wall as a client of yours?
    Question three. I want to purchase the stone looking 27” Madonna and child and was wondering if I got also the Madonna bust if I could put a down on both and make two additional payments? I’m buying a home this week and would like to use your expertise with some projects. How do I set that up? I do have a small resale business that I am starting also and would love to have some items for that too..a lot to ask you I know.. do you give trade pricing?
    Please let me know, I am excited to hear back.

      Oh, Elaine, it all just depends on what part of the country that you’re in. French furniture in my area is pretty inexpensive because there’s not a big market for it. But in other areas, it will command a premium price, so determining what is a good price just depends on where you live. It would be a little difficult to do a price guide. I’m sorry, I know this doesn’t help much.

    I’ve been waiting for your ideas on fall decorating this year. Once again, no disappointment there. Everything flows with fall beauty. A place in the house to sit, relax, and take it all in. Of course I’ve visited your pumpkin shopping patch. They become more creative each year with new textiles, colors, and designs. I would love to put together an arrangement similar to yours. I always pass you and your ideas around to all my friends. They love and follow you to. Thanks again for your wonderful and generous giveaways!

    Thank you for sharing your paint colors. I “borrowed” from your kitchen colors as a starting point for updating my house. Love SW Snowbound on my kitchen cabinets — it works so great with the revere pewter I had already put on the walls that I decided to not repaint! (I hated the color til then!)
    Advice, please. I want to paint my fireplace –do you think your paverstone would work with the SW Creamy walls I have or would it be better to carry the revere pewter into this adjoining room. The bricks go to the edge of a vaulted (ugh, popcorn ceiling).

    Just found your site last week!!! Wow, I’m blown away. I love it all!!! Can’t wait to see what you are going to do in your office/study. We’re in the process of closing on a “new” house. It was built in 1977 and never updated. I hope you agree with the adage “imitation is the sincerest of flattery”. My den has medium stained library paneling and I’m thinking about agreeable gray with the minwax stain just on the raised molding. Or the same treatment you did in the kitchen.l with snowbound and stain. I’m planning on doing a sample on some doors we are going to remove. With your wonderful rooms that I’m drooling over, I simply can not go wrong. Thank you for sharing.

    Just wanted to thank you! We found termites in our home and had to take out the back walls both upstairs and down. I wanted to paint the upstairs den a different color from the green it had been for years. I had to come up with a paint very quickly and thought of your house & your kindness in sharing your choices. I love Agreeable Gray!!! I painted walls and the ceiling. Paint is amazing. The ceiling looked white because of the way the light hits sometimes and gray the other. It is a wonderful shade & appreciate having someone so knowledge to turn to for advice. Thanks. Love your home & all you are doing to make it even more wonderful.

    I just discovered you on IG and now I was able to catch up with your renovation through your blog!! LOVE your style. I am from SW MO also and we built our “dream home” French country style a little over two years ago. The decorating has been a challenge because a true decorator is either too expensive or just doesn’t get the “French county” style I’m looking for. Therefore, I truly enjoyed finding your IG because your style was exactly what I was looking for.
    We vaulted our living/kitchen ceiling with wood planks and my husband white washed it by hand with a sheep skin rag!!!! Stress, but LOVE the look.
    Our walls are painted in SW mindful gray and SW dove white for all trim.
    I would love to get your input if I sent you some photos of the kitchen/living area –am in need of rug advice and I DO love your jute rug.
    Thank you for sharing your lovely home. I will look forward to the continued renovation.

If you happen to be there on the first weekend of the month, they have a monthly estate sale that is a must! Fabulous prices and a huge variety of vintage and antiques. It’s always first weekend, starting at 8:00 a.m. on Friday. The other place that I absolutely love in the Mobile area is Charles Phillips Antiques and Architecturals, open every Fri. and Sat. Be prepared to spend some time there!
