Creating Townhouse Charm and Character

One large piece was cut in half to create two of the tins. Edge a fabric valance with beads for more detail.

Joan Steffend tours a newly-built town home with loads of character and charm. Here's how the homeowner created such a welcoming space:

She painted the living room walls green and created a grassy, textured look with a wallpaper brush. The natural look is reinforced with craft grasses in earthy-colored vases.
Old tin ceiling pieces are used as artwork to create a dramatic focal point on one wall. Christmas ornaments hanging from iron brackets bring added dimension to the space.
The window is framed with a fabric scarf suspended from iron coat hooks.
Fabric draped over the TV table hides storage underneath.
A divider screen is used to separate the large space, making room for an office at one end.
In the guest room, chocolate brown walls complement the antique metal bed, dresser and old family photos. For added nostalgia, a valance made from worn mattress ticking hangs from a simple birch branch.
