I know this is an old post (I'm reading all to see your lovely work), but just thought I'd add 2 cents. Love your day bed, but might be a little low. I have a bench like that and I'm adding wood strips for the legs to sit on (like a trestle table has) to raise it up some. Anyhoo...your room is lovely like it is, just thought I'd add a thought!At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928007866208585066.post-69455516961795200462012-11-30T18:18:25.905-08:002012-11-30T18:18:25.905-08:00Hi there.

And once you´ve started, it´s hard to stop. <br />Regarding the lovely f**k you link on my blog, thought you might find this one amusing too...didn´t post it on my blog because the English/sarcasm mix is a bit more complex if you don´t have English as a first language.

Love your style and musings~much like all of us who stumble along with our latest finds and treasures seeking ways to make them create our imagined interiors. Looking forward to seeing your daybed paint job. I got an antique daybed in the shop now and it is painted with pastoral scenes and floral nosegays~its quite stunning.

I can see you are very productive. <br /><br />The desk is a wonder and I agree that a dark wax lightly in the details or maybe dove grey would get the look you want. The mirror I can see in the tone of the greenish stone piece over your lighter colored bookcase. Then lastly crystal sconces would give an airier feel as well.<br /><br />xoxo<br />Karena<br />Art by KarenaKarenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206642885608991170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928007866208585066.post-2757311318453927742012-11-09T06:09:17.554-08:002012-11-09T06:09:17.554-08:00I am now your newest follower, so keep your posts ...I am now your newest follower, so keep your posts as good as this one!Betsy Speerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228282974759764845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928007866208585066.post-87868294971427201472012-11-09T06:02:44.359-08:002012-11-09T06:02:44.359-08:00This is what I would try next.....

It will really come in handy, when I sneak in at night through the window to read books and just gawk at this lovely room. Secondly, I think a bit of grey on the table would look good.
