Out of the Blue

There's something very tranquil about shades of aqua. The master bedroom was another wallpapered room with dark drapes and carpets. I decided on Rich Teal for the headboard wall, with a duck egg hue on the remaining walls. We added a grey tufted headboard, and the result is a spa-like quality that really changes the feel of this room -

Here's a look at the room before we moved in - 

It's amazing how a few coats of paint can drastically transform a room! 

Let it Slide

WThe next item on my wish list is now a reality! One thing this house was lacking was proper cottage doors. I wrote some weeks ago about finding an ad for old doors for sale that came out of another old cottage that was being renovated. I was lucky enough to buy all 5 of the remaining doors for a steal! Our favourite carpenter, Evan, hung four of the doors several weeks ago. Tonight he put up the last one in the living room, and it's a sliding door. I've admired this look on Pinterest for many months now, and I was delighted when Evan agreed to do one for me here. 

                                        

The old door opened into the room instead of against the wall, so it was always awkward. I think this door is my new favourite thing in a cottage full of my favourite things! I may never leave. Ever. 

 

Here's the other doors -
