Secondly, I missed you and Dropped Stitches! So I'm back and commenting. <br /><br />I love the robin's egg blue! It looks fabulous! And I really, really love the painted over paneling. It looks so much more up to date and cheery! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished room!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650253180207863972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645565425975572299.post-74542267599911420332011-02-17T12:31:07.879-05:002011-02-17T12:31:07.879-05:00i think the best thing anyone can do to paneling i...i think the best thing anyone can do to paneling is paint it....so bravo for you !!!bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094533582512917616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645565425975572299.post-56921143669582051752011-02-17T11:02:39.188-05:002011-02-17T11:02:39.188-05:00So glad you aren't dead. :)

We suffered through pine in our kitchen...Hi Erin, <br /><br />We suffered through pine in our kitchen in our 100+ year old Greek Revival home until we finally were ready to spend three times more than our first house and tear it all out to replace the entire interior of the kitchen. There was nothing better than getting rid of that ugly pine we had here, raising the kitchen to the original height (found more windows up there!), and replacing the horrible tile floor with wood. <br /><br />Perhaps it was in style 50 years ago, but why in the world the woman who lived here put knotty pine in a Greek Revival home I'll never know. She had also painted the Rookwood Fireplaces and the eleven Ionic Columns in the entrance hall and main staircase grey. Needless to say, I stripped the paint off of the Rookwood and the columns are now white. Oh, then there was the replacing of the leaded glass because it was "old fashioned." We have restored that, too, by commissioning leaded glass to fit the home. <br /><br />Yeah, knotty pine. It's great in a cabin in the woods.<br /><br />Your wall looks just beautiful painted white. Don't feel bad about covering it!<br /><br />Best,<br />LoisLois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645565425975572299.post-89630616453496736652011-02-17T00:48:54.385-05:002011-02-17T00:48:54.385-05:00wow! sounds like you have been pretty busy... the ...wow! sounds like you have been pretty busy... the robin's egg blue looks pretty!<br /><br />& i don't think i hold the yarn very well when i knit either... hmm...<br /><br />anyway, glad to see that you are alive!! :)sarah {on the brightside...}https://www.blogger.com/profile/07518481398578367996noreply@blogger.com
