TOO MUCH ON MY PLATE?

Well here we go - the newest obsession is going to be this Pewter paint from Modern Masters ( as I predicted yesterday )

I have 8 wood charger plates - and believe it or not I really did love them in the deep dark brown color they were originally ( 8 years ago ) they looked great against a white table cloth.  But after 8 years they were looking horribly dingy - and so they've been mostly hidden away in the buffet.............


until tonight........................
when I pulled out my Modern Masters paints
ahhh - much better


less is more?
what a bore
More!
I want More I tell ya!


I've only done one of them - but I'll number all of them 1 through 8



John says - ARE YOU PAINTING THE DAMN DISHES NOW?
John says - WE CAN'T EAT OFF DISHES YOU PAINT FOR GOD'S SAKES
Suzan says - They're not our dishes - they're only charger plates
John says - I'm getting sick to death of all of this - really - why don't you join a group or something
John says - You need to get your mind off paint
Suzan says - I was thinking of taking a painting class actually.......................

Have a terrific Tuesday all................
Paint something...............anything lol

    I Love Modern Masters paint. I used it all the time in my Faux Finishing days. It's a great paint. Love the dresser in Pewter, very glamorous. Beautiful job, Dee from My Painted Stuff

    Oh Suzan, you do belong to a group, a group of people that have a highly creative mind and aren't afraid to use it ;)

    Why don't you join a group or something? And then tell us all what it is, and we'll all join with you. Sounds fun!

    Oh, John, everything looks better with paint. When stuff gets old and ugly, we paint it. Does he prefer you buy new? I'm an Old Master's addict. A jar of that stuff goes on forever!

    OMG...perfect. I have a bunch of charger plates that are all chipped paint. Such a great idea...tell John that it is catching on and girl in Quebec city is now painting her charger plates. You have started a fad. :)

    Don't you know "one" comes before "two"??? We have teachers meeting every evening this week, so on Tuesday, I came back home at 8:45 and was so tired I fed the cats but didn't feed myself and went straight to bed... I did dream I was painting, does that count?

    Some of your conversations with your husband remind me of conversations with mine. I just finished a dresser for a customer yesterday and I asked him what he thought. He said "You missed a spot." I had to explain to him that it was intentional distressing. And a project before that I used dark wax because the color turned out more vibrant than I wanted and he said it just looked dirty, LOL. Men just don't get it! :)

    The "You UGLY!" cheer on the charger definitely gave me the giggles. Why do men have such a wood obsession? Pun intended :>)

    I love that paint! Paint something else, Suzan. Go ahead paint something - I dare you!

    You're a pretty fancy chick with your chargers and all. Did John really say he was sick to death of paint? Isn't that grounds for divorce?

    I cracked up at John's first comment! I have been hearing things like that for years. So comforting that I am not alone.
    Love the chargers, I have some gold chargers that need to be painted, just tired of them.
    Have a great week, Ginger

    I think you joined a group....unfortunately I don't think it's helping. The group needs a group.....Love the plates! Do you number them so you can make sure a guest hasn't taken one? Like counting the silver?

Due to a large amount of spam ( that I'm tired of going back to posts and deleting ) I'll be using comment moderation from now on !!!
Can I beat these spammers at their own game? Probably not - but I'm going
to try my damnedest !!!
