Nook Progress

I know I am slow to go on this, but hey - I've got a lot of homework! I ordered a wall stencil for the nook. I'm a little nervous about this because I am not known for my painting skills. I'm going to make sure I watch lots of videos and follow the instructions perfectly.

What do you think of my pick? It's called Casablanca.

Plan for Revamping the Nook

My next step in redsigning this little space is to come up with a list of to-do's for myself. Obviously this will change as I move foward, but this seems like a good starting point.



1. Remove everthing from the wall.
2. Patch the holes left from the nails and repaint wall.
3. Paint the baseboards in that area.
4. Order wall stencils
5. Get paint for stencils
6. Map out pattern
7. Tape off area
8. Stencil
9. Search for antique window

Help My Home

Here is the picture of the first space in my house that needs help. There is this little nook near our front door that needs something. I threw this frame I made with some hooks thinking it would be cute. I actually think it is ok, but there are a few problems:

1. The black doesn't go with the rest of the furniture or decor

2. I hate having stuff hung there because it seems cluttered.

3. The shape is really shallow so it needs to look cute, but I can't really think of an actual function.



So I need some ideas. Right now I am thinking some wall stencils like the photo below.


Then layer it with an antique window that has a wreath hanging on it like way it's hung on the mirrow below.


But I think I would hang the wreath with a ribbon. Maybe navy?

What are your ideas?
