We too bought a "valley house" that has a similar victorian feel and we're slowly renovating to create a more modern/farmhouse feel. We have a very similar staircase that I can't wait to get my hands on and completely demolish - until then we deal with the mauve (yes, our house has a whole lot of mauve carpet, lucky us!) carpet running down the stairs. It's a slow renovation! Love the updates and have a feeling if we ever run into each other we'll be instant friends!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797823476081587612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-51082265426432847532013-09-20T00:52:55.185-04:002013-09-20T00:52:55.185-04:00Please add me to the list of folks interested in w...Please add me to the list of folks interested in what technique you recommend for painting Ikea furniture :) Hope you feel better soon--I love a neti pot when my sinuses are clogged!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998248755046711340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-18235336324356955142013-09-19T16:41:44.451-04:002013-09-19T16:41:44.451-04:00i'v always loved those particular ikea units &...i'v always loved those particular ikea units & will probably use them when/if we add a bedroom to our home. they look so great with cool hardware.Marissa@ohhhsolovelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342714562614735393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-79129222968010664292013-09-19T16:25:03.243-04:002013-09-19T16:25:03.243-04:00I never even thought of painting mine - silly huh?...I never even thought of painting mine - silly huh?

I didn't want to buy doors for everything, so we made some drawer fronts from IKEA's kitchen drawer fronts and some wood:<br /><br /> http://instagram.com/p/bwtFwLNnBS/. <br /><br />I haven't done a full post on them yet, because I'm (still) in the middle of a blogging hiatus to make a new blog and a whole portfolio site, but here are some photos before we added upholstery nails to the doors and all the drawer fronts. <br /><br />http://visualvocabularie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/PAX_wardrobe.jpg<br />&<br />http://visualvocabularie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/wardrobe1.jpg<br /><br />I bought the flat doors because I eventually want to buy O'verlays and paint them gold and put them on the doors.<br /><br />I'm SO excited to see what you do with yours! I particularly want to know if you come up with any good ideas to cover the holes for the shelving; they bother me greatly in the two we have chosen to use as open shelving! Although, you're probably just going to use doors on all of them.

How many coats are you using, if I may ask? I've seen the color vary wildly, and we're having to hire someone else to paint it because I'm on bed rest in the old apartment (meaning I won't see it until it's done, so I want to give clear instructions). It's an awkward situation to say the least :/ Thanks so much!Anna-bird https://www.blogger.com/profile/06626896921844220399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-45949472713682003912013-09-19T13:24:04.418-04:002013-09-19T13:24:04.418-04:00Hi Jenni,

I don't get sinus infections as much as I used to. The product I use is NeilMed sinus rinse. <br /><br />I love the Knoxville Grey and all that you do - you rock!<br /><br />KristinKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675958218744384304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-36472706590502273042013-09-19T12:38:53.531-04:002013-09-19T12:38:53.531-04:00What a lovely reminder that the Ikea units can be ...What a lovely reminder that the Ikea units can be blank slates for more personalized looks!

And I remember long discussions with my boyfriend on whether or not to paint them. <br /><br />We ended up not painting them but we did mount them with the sides of each element against the wall. So now I have my own row of closets and I'm so happy with them! It feels like I can go shopping in my own closet! <br /><br />I think that if I find the time, I might put masking tape on the edges or do something else to make them even more fun (every good store changes it's lay-out from time to time ;))Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705783781070893367noreply@blogger.com
