Hi Janet! :) I DID paint the barstools. I used a combination of whatever paint I had left in my home if you can believe it. I used Kelly Moore Swiss Coffee semi gloss, Martha Stewart Lightstrokes Paint in ‘Crestwave’ and then a little of a charcoal paint and a stone paint from some sample jars from Restoration Hardware. I don’t have any rhyme or reason as to how I do it but here goes… ;) I get a damp rag and swipe on and then rub around until I like it. Afterward I sand edges for a little rustic look and then I put on a clear satin topcoat. Thanks for commenting! :) happy Friday!
Kristy, Love WicksNest! Stunning kitchen. My 11yr old daughter saw this photo and said Wow, that kitchen is soooo pretty, looks like it should be in a magazine! You have inspired me today!
Soooo fun seeing you at Starbucks this morning! You are so sweet (we need to get together with Tracy soon!) and your daughter is adorable. (I wish I was in a mag! Ha!) Thanks again and hugs to all of you! xoxo
Hi Erin, thanks so much for the comment! :) I am overwhelmed with excitement that Erin showed my home on her gorgeous blog. I’m a huge fan of ‘House of Turquoise’! My sofa is from Ethan Allen and I just had it reupholstered by my sweet friend, Carlos who does gorgeous work. (He is the BEST!!!) He reupholstered it in a beautiful velvet fabric from Calico Corners. Thanks so much for noticing it. I love it too!
Ohmigosh! Did you paint those chairs? And if so, do tell with what??!! That patina is stunning! Reminds me of opals =) Very Happy colors!

I saw your lovely home over at House of Turquoise and fell in love with your tufted sofa. May I ask where you got it?
Thank you
