Say Hello To My Little Friend
BEFORE- Blah, Who wants boring old white and wood colored things? Not I!
I still find the transformation from a little paint to be amazing.
And don't you love this color? :)
There is not a lot of change here, but I love the way they turned out, for the most part.
(Notice that nothing has been done to the cigar box yet, I am completely uninspired right now. Soon it will get a makeover,
just not yet)
Painting is no where near as fun when I must renounce my love for spray-paint and go back the using a boring old brush. ho-hum. . .

{I'm totally digging this color!}

So what do you think? Its painted and slightly distressed around the edges. I feel like it needs something else, though. I haven't quite figured out what yet. Suggestions?
My darling, want-to-be-involved husband wants me to add a monogram on the side. I would have no problem with that, ya know, if I had one of these bad boys, the beloved Silhouette Digital Cutting Tool. (hint-hint to the hubs)
I've entered in blog give-a-ways countless times but to no avail. Maybe someday. *Fingers Crossed*
When prepping to refinish the stool, I had an Ah-Ha moment. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do to the top, I flipped it over and saw the screw holes and simply removed the base from the top to make painting easier. I may still do something else with the top, but in the meantime I'm happy with it the way it is. I ordered a sample of Regal Plum from the Valspar free paint sample they are doing for 100 days.
I think I am going to paint the top of the stool the plum color when it comes in the mail!!
*Hooray for FREE Paint*
What a pretty color! I love your little friend. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat colour! I wish we could get some free paint samples, but alas, no in Canada!
ReplyDeleteYour little friend looks like a kid I know...he loves cuddles and is as goofy as a Monkey!
Love it, that is about the color I just painted my sewing room. For some reason I paired with accents of orange, which is an out of the box color for me. Funny when you do that you suddenly see that color combo everywhere, or maybe I started the aqua and orange color trend....
ReplyDeleteGreat job, love the magazine rack, super useful and portable if you are moving around the house. Thanks for sharing.
