{Faux} Wainscoting

{via}

i know i've been on this type of subject of painting lately but once i get an idea in my head, it's hard to shake..

i love the look of these painted on wainscotings. it's so chic and much more affordable and easier than the real deal, too. all you have to buy is paint, no molding necessary!

the chair rail molding on this look helps divide the two paint colors, creating a beautifully polished look

Romantic Charm

there's something so appealing to me about an old room filled with architectural character..so charming..so romantic..

i love when it's mixed with modern, updated furnishings. 

or even the other way around, a modern space architecturally, with vintage, character filled furnishings.

see what i mean?..

{and the minnie, brilliant. every room needs a touch of whimsy and fun!}

{always love a good contrast of colors}

{i die for that mantle!}

{perfectly imperfect: shoes, stacks of mags, couple lit candles, helps to make this not feel too stuffy}

{are you kidding me?? look at that molding!..}

{seriously drooling...}

do you like this look as much as i do??
