  • Courtney you have done a beautiful job. You should be so proud of yourself. Yes, the bookshelves look like they have been there the entire time. You nailed it girl! The room looks gorgeous. You are such an inspiration to all of your followers!
  • @Blessedgirl1955
    Gorgeous color and you could paint my house any day, you are so good! I am 68 now and my hands are not as steady so I don't paint my own house anymore but that color makes me want to paint. I got tickled that your husband thought they were the same color as I know most men are color blind, I know my husband and son are. Love that room!
  • @carlingdowsett
    It looks wild and cozy and intellectual! I can’t believe you painted the whole room! I can’t wait to sit in it and read and sip my tea!
  • @joyelsey1366
    I absolutely love the bookshelves on each side of the fireplace. It added so much character and charm to the room! I am still digesting the paint color. I think I’ve lived with ivory, linen and off-white for so long, it’s just such a change. You’ve done an absolutely beautiful job, but truthfully, I like everything you do. Thank you for sharing.❤
  • That is beautiful. The color brings the room to another level. When you add the decorations, it is going to be precious.
  • @DawnaLeigh
    You can always add molding or trim to the outside of the to-short doors. Look at any of your antiques and you'll understand what I'm talking about. The other option would be to "inset" the panel (door) and do an overlap of trim. Use your antiques to guide you when doing a build. You have done a great job and should be proud of yourself!

    You are amazing! The bookshelves look beautiful and like they’ve always been there. What I remember when doing molding is - inside corner, each piece different angle, outside corner, same angle. I don’t know if that makes sense but it helps my brain. You are so right that the angles really mess with your processing. Excellent job!!
  • Beautiful color. Your bookshelves are great. I think I would have left the Mantle white though because the wonderful details on it just fade in the background now. But I am looking forward to see what you do with the room. You really did an amazing job on the bookshelves. I think of what the Bible tells us. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. As long as we are in his will it is astounding what we can do. May the Lord bless you and your precious family.

  • I am so impressed with your skill! I have been doing these projects for years and I am still afraid of crown and have not ever made my own doors! My last crown project had two outside corners, two argument with my husband and I nearly cried! You are killing it!
  • @alee9961
