Plywood walls ala chic!


Taken when we moved in Feb 2010


I have talked about how much I hate our current plywood walls with their dark reddy-brown stained trim and frame. In such a small space (484sq ft), all that dark trim really does not add light to the space. Large windows were sacrificed for valuable wall space (and available funds at the time of building).


My gorgeous kitchen shelves against plywood walls


But House of Turquoise really brought home to me how a little white, a little light paint can really add light and bright to the same plywood wall treatment in a house.







Now I REALLY want to paint the trim and ceiling white. Now I need money to buy paint and manpower!!!
