Changes

This is the wall before and after the mantle. I wish I had pictures of the shelf that was covering the window when we first moved in and when I had this bright idea to paint it blue. BTW, there is a window behind the big piece of plywood that looks into the garage. It is totally ugly and very drafty so our solution was to cover it with the plywood. Cheap and not too bad looking, right?

Speaking of cheap, I was called and asked to do a class on how to decorate on a dime. I am so flattered and so scared. I don't talk in big groups, I might pee my pants.
