Kitchen Nook Redo ~ Update!

OK, ready for a Rub n' Buff stencil... kitchen nook redo... update?  Here we go!  It's still not completely finished but it's getting there.   I've finished the stenciling, hung some curtains, put up a mirror, and moved in a table and chairs!  I've got a round rug on order that I want to do a little treament on.  Hopefully that will be here soon.  Alright, here is the break down so far.  I found the stencil online at Stencils-decals.com.  I used European Gold Rub n' Buff on the stencil.  I mixed my own turquoise/aqua wall color using some blue, green, and white paint I had on hand.  Here is how the room is coming along.



It's hard to capture the shine of the metallic Rub n' Buff in a picture.  I may have already said that multiple times in past posts, sorry if I sound like a broken record!  Anyway... I took two pictures of the same area, so you can better see how the metallic wax changes depending on the light or where you are standing in the room. 




Here is a close up looking in the opposite direction from the prior pictures.  There are three large windows in this nook area that were making it difficult to get a full picture of the room without all the light blowing out my pictures.  I'll try again another day when it's not so bright out.


I decided to go with tone-on-tone white striped sheer fabric for my curtains.   They feel so light and airy.



I found the little tray and brass birdie at the flea market this past weekend!  The birdie is checking out what's to drink! : )



I was given a few Saris by a very nice woman who's bedroom I'm in the process of redoing (Lot's of pictures of that soon ~ tons of projects!)
  This is one of the Saris, it's so bright and pretty.  I thought it would look nice over the glass top table, for a punch of color, whenever I'm in the mood!







Ok so there are a few pictures, kinda giving you the idea of what's in the works.  Don't worry I will get some full room photos one of these days when the light decides to cooperate or I learn how to take better pictures of rooms with lots of windows! 

So what do you think so far?

Smiles!
