to navy or not to navy.....

Hubby and I have plans to paint the family room,

living room and dining room.

So, I have been searching around the Internet,

Pinterest and blogs for inspiration.

{click here to see more of my inspiration}

Here are some photos that are swaying

me towards a navy wall....

 Maybe even do one accent wall...

I think my white couch

and leather chairs would pop

against the color.

How about a navy door?

I think it would look great on

my stone cottage,

but what color shutters?

Here is a reverse of my possible new

color scheme.

White walls and navy furniture....

It even looks good in a bathroom...

and on wood work....

So, what do you think

to navy, or not to navy?

Wasn't ready yet...

I posted about painting this clock in this post...

But it kept looking like something was missing...

I couldn't figure out what it was,

because I really liked it lighter.

Until I slapped some stain on a suitcase,

and realized that, that is what my clock needed as well.

So here is the after {above}

and here is the before {below}

You really can not tell much difference in the pictures

{worst photographer ever here}

but believe me,

there is a HUGE difference.

It looks softer, older, and more professionally done.

Yeeeeaaaahhhh, stain!
