Seth came home one day and told me that some friends of his were having a yard sale and he noticed they had a window that they were going to put in it and he asked if I wanted it….(yes, he knows me well)….of course I told him YES! HE brought it home and I just hung it on the wall…
Every night I would look at it and “study it”….do ya’ll do that? I do…all the time….so anyway I decided it needed paint….black paint….so I took it down and threw some paint on it…took me about 30 minutes or so….hung it back up and accessorized the area and this is what I got…
Oh yeah….moved the lamp over….raised the window up…it was too low…why didn’t I do that FOREVER ago???
I think it looks SO much better black….
cozied up the corner a bit…it is COLD here today…
You can see this is a checked chair….you know how I am about the gingham! A FREAK for it! Seriously…..rehab may be in order….NOT!
What do you think??
Thank you for stopping by :)
Country Living Fair tomorrow :)

Yeah, baby, yeah! I do like it MUCH.
ReplyDeleteI think that every room needs a touch of black, and that window anchors that corner. Love it. I am with you in the check department, and you can add stripes and plaid to my therapy. ;-)

Hi Lou Cinda,
ReplyDeleteIt looks great black! It grounds it now because everything else there is lighter. So cozy and pretty.I LOVE gingham too!! Especially if it's in my favorite color, red! If you need therapy, then so do I! :)
Have a great weekend,
Sonya
Much better. I like this it looks so inviting! And it is cold here today too!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I love it! Wow, that paint really jazzed it up and I love the wreath, perfect for fall. I have a window like that too, but mine has a mirror backing. I'm going to try the wreath idea if I can find one. Dollar store, here I come!
ReplyDeleteI love it, Lou Cinda!! Seth did good! I like it in black...it pops in that corner. Did you reupholster the checked chair? It's really cute! I love this whole corner!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Yup, perfection, Lou Cinda! Looking at it now, it's like it should have been black all along. I love your wreath on it ~ that's just enough, too. Your saying that about Seth makes me think of my son; he would do the same. Cold here, too, today ~ a high of 48!
ReplyDeleteLove it, painting it black, moving the lamp and raising the window really did the trick! It's magazine worthy now, love the chair too!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!!!! It looked great before, but it looks even better now!!
ReplyDeleteLou Cinda,
ReplyDeleteMarvelous darling!!! The window looks so stunning painted black! Adore your gingham chair. All you need is a book (or favorite magazine) and a cup of tea! Enjoy your cozy little corner, dear!
Fondly,
Pat
Lou Cinda, The black really made the window pop, love it!

I adore your window ~ I would have never thought of painting it black but that was the perfect choice. I love it with the wreath hanging on it and your gingham chair is too cute!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I love it in black. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYa know I usually like white better but in this case I have to agree with you. The black has more presence and looks great!. Love that corner and love the ticking stripe too! *winks* Vanna
ReplyDeleteYes...like it black...so cozy! Love the new look around here :)
