....just got back from Montana. I tell you...i am in love. It was snowing there and i saw so many beautiful animals. My husband is insanely jealous of this little adventure that I have encountered. the house is just turning out amazing. Well as promised....I will continue will the tour of my last remodel.
Here is the guest bathroom. The transiition of this bath was amazing but I am quite sure that I don't have before pics. Mirror was $39.99....can u believe? gorgeous!
Ok....for my next pride and joy. these were very plain jane cabinets that I painted brown and distressed.. I applied a raised stencil in which I repeated the pattern (lowes $2.98) I used a terra cotta raised effects paste from Michaels. i went ahead and painted brown on top. I lightly sanded so the terra cotta showed through slightly. I used a black antiquing glaze all over (lowes). Finally....last detailed step....I gently rubbed a light gold accent only on raised stencil. Very subtle and very carefully. Simply the most stunning cabinets i have ever seen. Pictures never do it justice. My client almost cried! Don't you love those antiqued olive walls! Really a low cost fix to a bathroom that now looks like it could be on tour! I actually had to steal my own idea and I did this same thing to a piece of furniture in my house! I love stealing my own ideas!

I love these cabinets!!! You are such a great designer. I love to see everything you create. Thanks for sharing on a blog your talents! Did you just use a regular brown paint on the cabinets? And then glaze? I would love to try this.
thanks!

Andrea, Those cabinets are absolutely beautiful! Your clients are SO lucky to have you. How do you prepare cabinets for painting? I have ugly oak cabinets in my laundry room, and I'd love to paint them. Your work is GORGEOUS!!! Thanks for sharing the pictures. Also, where did you find that cute hand towel holder in the bathroom?

Hi Andrea,
I am looking for an interior designer and came across your blog. Gorgeous guest bathroom! I love the color of the walls, and how it was decorated. You do really have great ideas and an eye for design.

Your designs are beautiful. I absolutely love your taste. You are very talented. I want to see if you have an answer for me. I have a cherry desk and I really do not like the color. I want it a dark brown. Do you have any suggestions?
