I do believe that in TIME, we could probably change out the curtain and find just the right doors, but we really love our look. As for the beams, the builder that added our two rooms constructed the ceiling so that exposed beams could be easily placed and he has described to us how they would look and I know I want them! They wouldn't be too heavy or thick, but rather think to look as if they are embedded into the ceiling. <br /><br />It is SO FUN to decorate, isn't it? I am hoping to put some white pumpkins into my décor, and I will think of YOU!!!

I love our idea! But the only problem...Oh ma chère! I love our idea! But the only problem is that I had suggested this WAY BACK when we first built our room and my husband mounted the TV on the wall. He does NOT like the idea of having doors to open and close; he is pretty good about going with the aged French look, but two people can never really see the same vision ALL THE TIME! For example, I wanted indoor French shutters for our leaded glass casement windows. But he did not want that so we have some inexpensive polyester drapes that are a muslin color, but REAL LINEN would be better, but it's too expensive. So your suggestion for the box? I see it, I would do it in a heartbeat, but he doesn't want doors. Maybe down the road sometime, he'll change his mind! I'm hoping that IF HE DOES NOT GET LAID OFF, we can get our exposed beams put in our room to highlight the vaulted ceiling. There are so many wonderful elements about our house that we have finally achieved, but little details are in the process of becoming a reality. <br /><br />So this is what I want to happen:<br /><br />Exposed beams in a worn gray.<br /><br />An enclosed (with doors) TV cabinet (I love what we have, but I am not happy with the curtains; we've had several people joke that it looks like a puppet theatre and it hurts my feelings!)<br /><br />Get rid of some dark furniture.<br /><br />Paint my kitchen and main bath (both are yellowish) ALL WHITE!<br /><br />MERCI!

And thank you for noticing our flat screen TV solution. If it was me, I would have had the TV recessed into the wall with distressed doors to cover it, like Brooke over at Linen and Velvet has done. But my husband's artistry is fabulous, but I would change the curtain to a linen...maybe this Christmas I'll change it out!<br /><br />LOVING THE GRAY of fall as it comes into our lives.....live and love on ma belle!

The linen shade is the perfect compliment to understated elegance. The pull out desk top in the chest of drawers is awesome! Makes me wonder how many love letters might have been written there, or how lovely the lady must have looked after preparing for a night out by using the chest as her vanity. Wonderful work my friend. Keep inspiring us, as only you can.
