Project No. 1

Today is day 3 of the first week of school.  

As much as I wanted to send my little darlings

off to school and immediately begin tackling the many

house projects I have had whirling around in my

head all summer.......that has not happened - yet.

I spent the better part of the last two days socializing, catching

up with girlfriends which has been wonderful - and provided

some much needed 'me' time.

However, I am ready to go and share with all of you

the first home project I am going to tackle.

The photo above was taken a few months ago when I 

painted the backs of our built-in shelving {SW Urbane Bronze}.

I liked the look fine but I am over it - it really does not

'go' with the rest of the space.  I feel like the shelves could

use some texture, and debated using grasscloth wallpaper.

However, inspiration struck after seeing the multitude

of horizontal planked walls

on Pinterest these days.

I am planning on DIY-ing this look on the back of my

built-ins.
