I kind of enjoy painting but I would never admit that to my mom. She used to try to force it on me as a kid and naturally I rebelled as any child would. I tried to convince a girl that I work with to pick out a couple of pieces of furniture from Goodwill a couple weeks ago and let me paint it for her. It took a little twisting of the arms but she caved and let me do it.
I like to imagine it with white accessories, perfume bottles, and big lamp. Something like these items from Anthropologie and West Elm...
I used a sponge roller, Eggshell Valspar paint from Lowes, and a clear wax to coat the piece. It took a couple of hours to paint and was dry by the end of the day. Believe it or not but the piece of furniture cost $50 and was Lane so really great quality. The brown was pretty but the paint brings it to life for a single chica.
It might have even made a cool vanity in a bathroom. Ahhhhh my mind keeps turning it into so many things. Must. Go. To. Sleep.
Later.
It looks AMAZING in blue. I can't believe it was $50. That ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteOh girl it was hard to let someone else have it for that cheap.
