Going
Red
I shared
earlier my fondness for the color red and how
I have elements of this color
practically in each room.

Our family
room is in the English Country Cottage Style – I have several ‘Cottage Styles’
in different rooms – it was fun looking and the different aspects of several ‘Cottage Styles’.
The family
room is where we gather to relax and to spend time together – comfort is key. I
am making a few more changes to this room – one in the future will be to
transform the two sets of French doors in the family room.

This bench
was acquired several years back at a garage sale. I love the detail in its side
and it serves very well as extra
seating when we entertain.

I have not
been fond of the chocolate brown color –
So I decided
to go red. I painted a couple chairs in the dining room Anne Sloan Chalk Paint ‘Emperors Silk’ red and loved their outcome. I especially love the fabric I chose for the
seating.
I painted
three coats of ASCP ‘Emperors Silk’ red paint then stained it with Dark Walnut
stain. After it completely dries I plan to apply ASCP clear wax to protect the
finish.
I had some
fabric left over from recovering the dining room seats and made two pillow
slipcovers for two small pillows that go to my grandmother’s couch – it is
slipcovered in white in our green room – the Shabby-Romantic Cottage Style
room. I have some changes to share with you there very soon!
