Ta Da! Fun room – I found the hanging beads in Eureka Springs at Romancing to Stone. Hemingway’s Hideaway now shares space with the Hippie Room…

First, we removed the avocado green cabinet and sink. Then, the carpet came out and Mike tiled the floor…with floor heaters. Nice! The bathtub shall never be removed – it is a 6 foot cast iron, claw foot tub that is VERY old. We had to prop it up on roller boards and move it from side to side during the tile process. We also added more black tile to
go along the wall where the cabinet was attached. Oh, and we removed the wallpaper and painted the walls. Finding a D-Ring for a 6 foot tub required a trip to Dallas. We love how it turned out…

Ta Da! Of course the sleigh bed takes up a lot of room, but it’s worth it! And, the king mattress is to die for! I love the blue in this room. Oh, and all the artwork on the walls at #10
are prints from local artists, and the picture you see in this picture is “Colvin’s Barn” by Carol Dickie. I have the original in my own home because I love it that much!!!

Several things happened to get the new look. Of course, the wallpaper removal was our first job. Then, we painted–a couple times–because I didn’t like my first choice of color. Then, I found paint that matched the red tin ceiling and we painted accents. Mike took on all the cabinets and replaced the wood panels with glass. My granite selection is a “wow” – love it! Then, we measured carefully, trying to find modern appliances to fit into antique spaces. Here’s a picture from one angle…

I decided to use all bold colors for the walls at #10. I researched colors that tended to prevail in the late 1800s… after the craze for wallpaper stared to wane. Then, I went to my local hardware store, Acords, and they helped me by sharing an historic palette. I chose a warm green for the living room, which is a great contrast to the gold in the parlor.
