Saturdays are  the end of my work week and then my weekend starts. My mind is
always going on the 40 minute drive home about what I want to accomplish and 
this weekend one of them is tackling some more master bedroom painting.  
I asked Todd to haul upstairs 
one of the my revamped dressers that has just one coat of Designer Grey 
paint on it so I could see if it was the right choice. I have yet
to determine how dark to go with the 
blue on the walls and this weekend I will decide and hopefully
get it painted.  I also got to see how
the Ikea curtains will look and am very happy with them.
I added a little too large
 drum shade that I had  to one of our old lamps
and brought the antique iron chandelier in 
to see how it will all come together.
One day this room is to be the office or guest bedroom but I am so glad we did 
not leave it like it was until then. 
I cannot tell you what a thrill it is to finally feel well
enough to see the proverbial trees for the forest. Clarity has been my
blessing in pockets and has allowed me to focus on what I love.
Although we live about 20 minutes to the closest body of water, I wanted our
home to feel as simple, light and airy with colours of sand and sea
as if the beach
was right outside our door
and
as if the beach
was right outside our door
and
I have always, always been drawn to the
second hand shabby chic painted furniture,
pretty chandeliers
pretty chandeliers
and  white slipcovered furniture.....
So without further delay I announce that
I have discovered that I can have both and 
HAVE CREATED  
MY NEW STYLE
WHAT I CALL
WHAT I CALL
"NANTUCKET CHIC STYLE"
A BLEND OF
COASTAL STYLE AND COLOURS
WITH TOUCHES OF
SHABBY CHIC STYLE

I can't wait for this room to be finished  in my new 
NANTUCKET CHIC STYLE
NANTUCKET CHIC STYLE
and to show you what it is.
I had thought of this name quite a while
ago and googled it
to see that  only two other people had used the name
Nantucket Chic to describe a room
Nantucket Chic to describe a room
 but they were not a blend of the two interior design styles that 
I love
to create my
to create my
NANTUCKET CHIC STYLE
I hope you are all enjoying your weekend so far and I would love
to hear what you think!
to hear what you think!

Love the Nantucket Chic style!! It's coming out so pretty. The wall color is gorgeous. The gray furniture will look really nice with that color blue. Did you get the lamps yet? The whole house is pretty. It's looking like a beach house. Happy decorating!
