Did I Shave My Toes for This?

Ok, are you ready for it?  Here it is, the reveal that has me so excited that I made sure my feet were even well groomed for the occasion!

So this past weekend, my dining room went from this….

to this….

For all the details on how I did it, where I got my inspiration, what colors I used, etc., please visit Kim at The Keller Creative, where I am a guest today in her series…

And I would like to extend a huge thank you to Scotch Blue for making this redo possible by sending me their fabulous “Edge Lock” blue tape which worked amazingly!  I went through over a roll of tape because I also painted all the trim as you can see and used the tape in the window panes.  And of course I used the tape on the stripes as well.

So hop over to Keller Creative for all info!  But feel free to comment here if you have any questions!

    That title cracked me up this morning! So much better then braiding them.

    Your dining room is looking fabulous. Those stripes are perfect. The green buffet looks wonderful in there with that antique sign on top. Just wanted to let you know the last picture isn’t showing up for me.

    Love those stripes! And, am I the only one singing Deena Carter after that title???? ha! You are really working fast making your home your own. I’m in Frederick (Ballenger Creek area) not too far from you and we are actually looking for a nice rancher that we can completley redo. My husband and I have been having a “debate” about weather to paint the wood color trim, he says no, I say yes. Oh well, he’ll have to leave sometime, right?
