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

Once, Twice, Three times a lady...............

Thanks for the times that you've given me
The memories are all in my mind


And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow
There's something I must say aloud

You're ONCE


TWICE


THREE times a lady

before,after,french provincial, metallic, pewter, color,

When we're together, the moments I cherish

before, after, french provincial, metallic, painted, pewter, silver

with every beat of my heart

dresser, before, after, silver, pewter, metallic, painted

To touch you
To hold paint you

before,after,dresser,french provincial, silver, pewter, metallic

To feel you, to need you

before, after, french provincial, metallic, silver, pewter,

There's nothing to keep us apart.......................



You hear that John?
I can't let this one go..............
John?
JOHN?
JOHN?  


silver, metallic, pewter, french provincial, dresser, antique,

She will not be 4 times a lady
I can promise you that LOL

Paint:  Modern Masters - Metallic Paints - Pewter
Protection:  Polyurethane Water Base Satin ( not applied yet in photos )
And this is as true to the color as I can get it

Another new obsession in the making folks................

Sail on Silver Girl................sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine...................



There - just to torment you a little, you get 2 "stick-in-your-brain" all day songs -
Just cause I love ya!

( oh and if you need a friend - I'm sailing right behind )

Have a Marvelous Monday every one!

John says - What the hell is going on around here with that dresser?
John says - How many times have you changed this exactly?
Suzan says - Well she's once, twice.......................
