Paint Is Great ~ A Small Change Can Make A Big Difference

Last week’s blizzard put a kink in my slipcover, since my friend, The Drapery Lady, could not get here to do the fitting, and the resultant icy streets made it difficult for her to get here in the evening during the week.

So I thought I’d just give you a peek of something else that received a makeover in this room while we wait.  The scroll grill above the picture over the sofa was purchased from Ballard Designs several years ago.  I purchased it in an aged cream color.  Since we painted the walls yellow, it pretty much blends in to the wall {as you can see from the picture below}.

I decided to spray paint it black to go with my new black and white look.  Here it is painted below.  I think it really “pops” off the wall now!

I’m thinking of painting the coffee table {which you can see in the first picture} black New Year’s weekend.  I’m hoping that I will have this room completed before the end of January. 

I’m linking this post up to Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch.
