Bekye did the faux tortoise treatment on her vintage coffee table - She also did all the finishes on the walls and on much of the furniture in her home |

Bekye addesd the shutters throughout the space instead of curtains |

The small chairs were once in her son's room when he was a child - She also painted all the beams with a faux finish to look like wood, and of course painted the armoire |

You can really see the terrific job she did on the beams |

Bekye has many gallery walls |

The kitchen is compact and efficient |
