happy shelf

Though we haven't stalled on our updates to McCasa, we certainly have been negligent about updating our updates on the updates.

There is a long shelf across the entire downstairs family room below the windows. It has the potential to become a dusty catch all and it was a very dark wood. We have been working in stages to paint the copious amounts of moulding a nice bright white as opposed to the exact same color as the walls. It's nice to see the contrast and it frames the windows nicer. I have only painted one part of that long shelf the same bright white because I am not yet brave enought to take on the huge remaining piece. It will require at least one coat of primer and two coats of trim paint. I loved the results on this smaller side so much I made it the happy home for an assortment of frames featuring our favorite people.
