OR WARNINGS FROM RUI,
EITHER!
The warning that Rui emailed us about choosing colors comes to us a wee bit late as we have been slapping color on the walls for a couple days now & the chair rail is up!
(Yes, Bob, a chair rail, it is a restaurant dining-room and this is necessary).
I need to do close-ups of the trim moulding as it was the rough-hewn lumber that origally clad the walls when Mark bought the place, I do believe it is black locust wood, an acacia. It is at least one hundred and fifty years old & very hard!
&
Y'all know me and my love for old hard wood....
So, what do you think?
Mind you, I still have several tricks up my knickers....
This is merely the back-drop...
AND...
I know that is naughty of me but I just wanted to give you all a taste of the crafting of my wall sconces......
Would Any Like to Hazard a Guess?
Thanks, Rui for the fire!
i'm staying mum...for now.
ReplyDeleteOK, mum....
ReplyDeleteHere's a clue: Think blued!
So do the sconces use flames or light bulbs?
ReplyDeleteLemon Sorbet and Caramel Fudge come to mind... In a good way! I'm loving the old wood...
ReplyDelete"Antiquing" the metal.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the chair rail.
ReplyDeleteI know!
But....I have a chair rail in my dining room. I also HAD chair rail in the kitchen, the living room, and the hallways. Not necessary, and it was summarily dismissed and ripped down.
I love the room and the view from the window. :)
ReplyDeleteThat better be a Raku kiln, to punch some zest into the ambiance. Or else you shall be called Wallra Ashley from now on.
