If Walls Could Talk…

For those of you like me who flip furiously through design and decorating magazines, look carefully at what you see.  Behind the colours, patterns, textures and furniture is the space itself, framed only by walls, ceilings and floors.

It is against this backdrop that the contents of a room come to life, but most often, it is because of it.

New Life for a Pair of Wise Old Owls

When the time is right, these babies are going to meet a can of glossy white spray paint, inspired by a few pricier versions below.
