Finally!

My corner piece is done!

If you remember, I decided to paint it because I wanted to brighten up my living room and since, I can't paint the walls, I thought this was an easy solution!

So, here's the before. . .

and here's the after!

I have to say that I truly love it and it brightens up that space so much!!



I ordered some knobs from Anthropologie but they haven't come in yet, so I bought a few "birdcage" knobs from Lowe's until the others come in.

It's late in the evening so, I couldn't get a great pic but these give you the basic idea.

So, what do you think?

I'm thinking it looks much, much better and definitely accomplishes what I wanted to do! : )

It looks so much better! Wood on wood on wood looked very dark and the white makes this piece pop and brightens that corner. Good choice!
