So, What Do YOU Think ? ? ?


While Blog Hopping today,
I had to go & check out



of All the Wonderful Homes......

This is where My Post Question comes from

I am sorry to say, I don't remember exactly
Which Month or Year of Home
these
Fabulous Inspiration Photos
came from
Believe Me ~ they're in there ~ Somewhere

I Love Blue ~ Any & All Shades
I also Love a Vintage, Funky, Worn Style

I Fell in Love with both the look of the Table & the Desk
(sorry to you if this is your wonderful furniture, I should have written down reference - but Love Your Style)

Of course, I am suppose to be going thru numerous Boxes of
"STUFF"
getting ready for a Huge
Garage sale with My Daughter
Next Weekend

But, I get Side Tracked ~ A LOT!

so, out came all my little bottles of Craft Paint & this is the color I
came up with.....
I need to get more paint, but the color is getting Close ~

You can go back to My Creative Studio Post
to see My Work Table in all it's lovely Brown
I Love the Shape, but have Never Loved the Color
but come on, it was Only $10....

So My BIG Question

Should I Paint it All ~
Should I only paint the Bottom & leave the Top Brown (Desk)

I will rough it up so the brown shows thru.....

What Do YOU Think ? ? ?



just brushed on some of the Test paint in a smaller area
Photo I took for the Inspiration on
The Old Painted Cottage ~ link above
Yep, My studio is already a mess
Another photo of Inspiration OPC ~
what do you think of the painted base only
I just wiped on some of the paint with
my finger
true color is alittle deeper, this was still wet


It's Up to You Now......

I think I'll try to get back to the boxes ~ their Not going
to Tag themselves.....

  2. The blue is crazy gorgeous!!

    I love the look of a dark top on a light or colored base.

    You can always go back and paint the top blue, but I think I would try leaving it brown just to see if you love it.

  8. Love the turquoise-I'd paint the top white and leave the detail the blue. It's only paint-you can always change it!

  9. I have painted the bottom all the blue ~ well it needs another coat & as soon as I have a free moment, I will finish & post Photos.... For Now, the top will remain the Brown, then when I get tired & need a change, I will Paint it White!

    Thanks for the Ideas.....
