In the meantime I had already posted this so you get
a double dose this morning
How do you like my catchy title? Whoa talk about a bad case of " writer's block " lol - I really need everyone's honest opinion on this one - because I also have a bad case of " painters block ".
I tried gray - my go to color usually - uh uh - no like -
Than I tried all cream - uh uh - too boring
Than I tried white - uh uh - too stark -
and this is what I've ended up with - just a quick reminder of the before
I painted the top with Kathy Van Gogh Chalk Paint ( first time trying it - and LOVE it ) called "mascara" and the bottom half with a behr color I already had..................
spray painted the gorgeous handles black
and was just getting ready to start distressing - actually had the sand paper in my hand - and for some reason thought this piece did not need it at all - I kind of like it the way it is - what do you think?
should I just leave well enough alone?
sometimes well enough - is enough
calling out to the universe, should it be distressed? can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the set -
( you can see it HERE if you missed that post )
oh and did I mention that we bought this on the weekend - BECAUSE I SOLD THE LAST TABLE SET!!!
to a young girl that says it's her dream come true table and chairs - sometimes this business does the soul good!
guess I'm going to be " busy busy busy " - like this creep - and bracing myself for Sandy who is scheduled to arrive here shortly.................( the storm to beat all others )
