I could have gone either way on the door (paint vs. not), but then when I saw the photo of the closet doors, I agree that painted would flow better in the room. I also agree with several of the other comments on painting/refinishing the dresser. I think it is a great shape & then you could get a big mirror to hang above, possibly oval? <br />Thanks so much for sharing, LOVE the transformation! Also, I received the box this week, THANK YOU!

I've never been a big fan of wood trim or doors, unless the wood is some spectacular variety that needs to be showcased. <br /><br />Don't you love how black can add such a dramatic pop to a room? I find myself including just a little black in nearly every room, and I always like it.<br /><br />I hope you and your beautiful family have a wonderful Easter!Richella Parhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353214472648623583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400481463048237212.post-62657706605110540502010-04-02T13:01:07.874-04:002010-04-02T13:01:07.874-04:00That is a beautiful and calm guest room. It really...That is a beautiful and calm guest room. It really is amazing what paint and some styling of pieces we already own can do to a room. I'm on the fence about the doors, but leaning towards keeping them wood. I like both wood and white doors, especially since your wood doors are better quality and not just flat and outdated tones. Do you have similar coloured hardwood in any of your rooms? That would be a big deciding factor for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533933625825629350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400481463048237212.post-30701146413864861232010-04-02T12:58:32.784-04:002010-04-02T12:58:32.784-04:00It's fantastic!
