But I get excited and think that even if I messed up a bit, it might just add some age and charm. I will definitely use it again, and may even try some copper leaf on a section of the roof when I get there - if I'm feeling brave!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-91304419534852432402017-05-06T10:01:21.507-07:002017-05-06T10:01:21.507-07:00Thanks so much, Elizabeth!

I am so glad I had that peacock, otherwise I'd have gone white and that is just so safe and unadventurous! <br /><br />I am considering lighting the built in shelf - in fact I almost used acrylic for the shelf so that the light would light up the bottom shelf, too. Then I worried that I would scratch or get glue globs on the acrylic and the light would just draw attention to the mistake. <br /><br />I have can lights to install in the ceiling, so when I start on all of that I may play with a light for the shelf and see if it helps or hurts. I love where your mind is going and please keep the suggestions coming! I have a basic plan, but a lot of the build is me just winging it as I go!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-1249833333213605192017-05-06T09:54:31.108-07:002017-05-06T09:54:31.108-07:00Thanks Alayne!
