I never see the treasure through the trash, then I see what others do and think why can't I do that??? Did you do a layer of crackle to it as well? Love the color!
Oh! I wish spray paint were my friend. I needed to do a bunch of it for mobiles. Craig said he would help. He did everything but the final coat. He said "You can handle it" but I botched it big time. So we didn't take any mobiles to the last market.
Paint of any sort isn't my friend. Though I love collecting paint chips and I like your blue!
Love, Love, Love the chair. The color is fantastic. Spray paint is my friend too. Here is a little tip...if you have alot to spray, buy one of the handles that slips over the push botton, so it becomes a trigger spray. You use all fingers instead of just your pointer finger. I sprayed so much one time, I lost the feeling in the tip of my finger for a while. Still feels funny now!!! ~Karen~
inside my front door i have a basket on bar chair that holds scarves & gloves. so i am a member of the "use a chair club". not very good with paint. so i was glad mine didn't need a touch up. love love your transformation.
I’ve just been biting my nails waiting for your chair post, and I’m not disappointed - Your chair rocks! Such good bones, and the best color ever - I’m coveting a little bit! Spray paint IS my BFF too, you funny girl! Cheers to new addictions!
My 4 year old is standing right by me & just asked if I'm going to buy that dog, with a hopeful look on his face. My kids are always asking for more pets. Nice ears!
I need to go get that color. I can't find aqua at OSH (our hardware store, but we have Home Depot too). Seriously, we have a beat up old chair sitting on our porch too, and I am going to do that this week! And put some flowers on it too (I hope you don't mind I am copying you). The chair has been sitting there for months, and a neighbor must have been tired of it because we came home one weekend and there was a teddy bear sitting on it. Kinda weird.
I love the color of the chair. I have a hard time seeing things in a different light so I enjoy it when other say what they have done then I think "hey I can do that"
I get so inspired by the many "trash to treasure" type posts.
I've been watching 
until I was happy, happy.

mmmmm..yes. Happiness in a can. INSTANT gratification, and I know that's big in your book Des. :-)
ReplyDeleteDes, you never cease to amaze me! You need to branch out and really get into the trash to treasure thing (cake plates, etc.). You have an eye!
