I Love painted woodwork

In an effort to nail down my personal style I want to talk about some of the things I love.  Things that make me swoon, pant and drool.

Today lets talk about painted woodwork and trim.  I LOVE it. 
All that creamy, luscious-ness (is that a word?).  I love how fresh and clean painted woodwork looks.

There is always something so easy about painted paneling.
  
And lets talk about using an unexpected shock of color.



 

Nummy!

Now don't get me wrong, I appreciate the beauty of natural wood paneling.  Especially when it is historic and has reached the richness that comes with age, like at the James J. Hill House.






But I have to tell you, even knowing how special and beautiful that wood is, I would be itching to to paint it.

  1. Hi Laurie,
    Uhh, you nailed it right there. I love painted woodwork too. I also like wood in it's natural state, but it all depends on the piece and how it looks. My husband and I have to compromise there sometimes, so I try to do things that we can both live with. Great post.

  2. Thanks Trine- I really can appreciate a god aged piece of wood and you need to have a balance, but I love me some white trim.
