White, bright and beautiful

I've been wanting to start transforming my house into a brighter space for some time now.  Our last house we just moved from had no front windows on it and only two small windows with a sliding glass door on the main level.  It always felt dark and sleepy in there.  Now I have windows up front, and floor to ceiling windows on the back.  I love waking up and seeing the birds and rabbits run through my yard.  Having the sun shine in as I make coffee and feel like anything more than a dungeon.  So here are some of my latest makeovers to help brighten things up.

I don't know what it is about white, cream and the like but things are starting to feel very fresh in here and I makes me want to wake up early every day =)

More to come.....

Wow, they look great. I can hardly wait to see what you do with the green beast/beauty. I think she has so much potential. I wish I had you near me to go to garage sales, flea markets, etc.

Viola I wish we were closer too, how much fun would that be.

Oh I could see us looking for all of those cool treasures to use and re-purpose. The hard part for me would be selling them if I liked them to much. haha I love thinking of how to use or reuse something instead of throwing it out. My family thinks I save to much as is.

Viola I'm right there with you! I have never kept much, I'm always donating and cleaning out. But since I started refinishing all these little things I can't seem to part with them lol.

I know what you mean! My decor taste has always been more towards the darker earthy colors and I am ready for a change!! I NEED it to feel light bright and airy! Although I'm ok with NOT waking up early ;) Everything turned out great!!!
