Paint Party

We have had one giant paint party around our house lately.  There are so many furniture pieces around our house that have been needing a facelift.  In efforts to convince our neighbors that we aren't hoarders I have made a commitment to not buy anything new, and only paint what we have.  So far it is working and things are slowly cleaning up around here.  Today I wanted to share 2 different projects...

First we have a tired dresser that needed a pick me up.  The dresser was originally white-ish, so I painted it Cece Caldwell's Nantucket Spray, distressed it with sandpaper and used CCCP Satin Finish to seal it.  Can't you tell I love this color?  It is the perfect "beachy" color.  When I sanded it, a deeper turquoise also came through.

{and that amazing resin octopus sold in just a few days...almost identical to the one featured in Guliana Rancic's nursery for Duke}

Next, I have a set of bar stools that looked as if someone tried to paint them, but failed miserably.  I painted them in CCCP Seattle Mist, dry brushed them with Dover White and sealed them with CCCP Satin Finish.  These bar stools have great classic lines, and are the perfect size for a small area.

 If you are interested in either of these pieces they are available at the J. Kelly booth at the Antique Market of San Jose.  5107 San Jose Boulevard Jacksonville, FL 32207.

Have a Great Weekend!!
