Here you can see the wicker chairs painted black. I think it really makes the room come alive. I have small touches of black in the room-black curtain rods, black frames etc. I've been wanting to do this for awhile. It only took 4 cans of spray paint and voila!
I switch out the pillows for fall and Christmas, but I think they'll look good either way.
I've also been painting some other things-I'll share those on Rednesday. Does that give you a clue? We were at Sams Club over the weekend and the greckles(I think that's what they are called) are everywhere. It's like a scene from The Birds. Look behind the tree and at the top of the building-they are lined up. They come every fall and it's kind of a weird thing.
Wanted to let you know, if you get a chance to see the movie Flipped-we rented it over the weekend, watch it! It's directed by Rob Reiner and is a sweet, nostalgic little movie that makes you feel good. At least I did! Have a Happy Monday!

I've heard interior designers say many times that you should have at least one black thing in a room, and they must be right, because those chairs look fantastic! And that picture of the grackles makes me smile, because I told my daughter how much "The Birds" terrorized me as a child, so she laughs at me whenever we see lots of birds all together like that, and asks me if I'm scared!
ReplyDeleteI love the black chairs! Now I'm looking around my house, trying to find something to spray paint. It made a huge difference, from not really noticeable to WOW!
ReplyDeleteI love driving somewhere and seeing hundreds of grackles stupidly lined up on telephone wires as if they have nothing better to do. I guess the wires keep them warm. Funny!
boy what a difference the black chairs make. Love the new look.
ReplyDeleteLeslie!
ReplyDeleteToo funny, what a coincidence! We've been having a ton of black birds (the size of trucks) hanging around. There's been a falcon in our backyard a lot, trying to catch a finch or sparrow I guess? Well - the past couple of days, the black birds have swooped down after the falcon (who is smaller than they are and the falcon is a predator!). So ODD.
I think the black gives your chairs more ooomph too! They look great.
Oh! We rented Flipped too but haven't had a chance to see it yet - we really wanted to see it when it came out but it was only in the theaters here for a very short time. I'm so glad you liked it! Hopefully we'll watch it tonight.
AND ... I love Max!
