Sometimes it's the work of lazy painters who don't want to remove the hardware or mask it off. <br />In other cases, people painted hardware back when shiny metal was expected and they tired of endless polishing. Now that we appreciate patinated metal it's nice to get all that paint off and just let the metal tone down as air, life and time happen.<br />Appreciating what you're doing,<br />RuthRuthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-72533938296893423522012-03-20T15:39:56.250-04:002012-03-20T15:39:56.250-04:00All your choices look great, and I'm happy tha...All your choices look great, and I'm happy that you were rewarded with that surprise of the feather.

I love it - so enveloping and perfect for sleep! Plus, I think the white floor, and the headboard will look perfect against the taupe color.
